Who we are
Our clinic carries a three-generation legacy of traditional Korean medicine. It was first established in 1965 in Seoul, South Korea, by our founding director. In 1987, the second-generation director took over and continued to grow the practice.
In 2002, we expanded to Arizona, operating clinics in both Korea and the United States before fully relocating and integrating our practice in the U.S. in 2018.
Today, the third generation—Dr. Jason, son of the second-generation director—has joined the team, continuing the family tradition of providing dedicated, patient-centered care.
With decades of experience and a deep-rooted heritage, we remain committed to delivering holistic, compassionate, and personalized healing for our community.
Dr. Song and Dr. Jason serve as medical columnists for the Arizona Korean Times. They write about common conditions and everyday symptoms that many people experience but often don’t fully understand. Their columns offer clear explanations, practical prevention tips, and guidance on how these issues can be treated in their clinic—as well as simple home remedies that readers can easily try on their own.

Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice that has been used for thousands of years to support the body’s natural ability to heal. It involves the gentle insertion of very thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body.
By stimulating these points, acupuncture helps improve circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, calm the nervous system, and restore balance within the body.
