Family Medicine of Gwinnett

Most insurance companies do not pay yet for acupuncture, but if you do have medical insurance, the Initial Treatment is $150 and $100 thereafter for 30 minute Follow Up appointments.  Cash patients may pay $200 for the Initial Treatment and $150 for Maintenance Follow Up Acupuncture Treatments.

You must be a good candidate for Dr. Kim to serve you in this field.  Patients cannot call and request an acupuncture visit from the start.  Once a patient is established, acupuncture may become an option. Dr. Kim tries other approaches first before utilizing acupuncture based on his medical evaluation. As an MD, he is able to use both Western and Eastern medicine for the best solution to your problem.
