$95 bought me a 30 nap after minor needle work and stretches. Very disappointed in the care ~ or lack of that I received. Dr. Kelly is very nice , professional and she has a great ShaPei therapy dog but I did not receive $95 worth of service ~ big bucks no relief

I am sorry the other people on here had such bad experiences, but I worked with Dr. Kelly for 7 months and thought she was great! I started meeting with her when I was 23 weeks pregnant with my second son, because there was a cyst on my ovary that had grown to 11cm and my midwives and physicians were suggesting surgery. There are a lot of risks to having surgery when you are pregnant, including going into early labor and losing your baby. I was not willing to take those risks. Dr. Kelly made me feel calm and confident in my decision to not have surgery. I met with Dr. Kelly 2 to 3 times for the first two weeks and then once a week after that for the rest of my pregnancy. I have a kidney disease that can complicate pregnancies as well. During my first pregnancy, I battled high blood pressure the whole time and ended up having to be on bed rest for the last month and a half of my pregnancy as a result. The swelling in my legs and feet were terrible. Dr. Kelly kept my swelling to a minimum and my blood pressure consistently low. When my baby was still breech at 37 weeks, she performed moxibustion that resulted in him turning. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy with no complications. I had another ultrasound after I gave birth and the cyst was less than 3 cm. I am sooooo glad I did not have surgery while I was pregnant. Meeting with Dr. Kelly was such a pleasant and enjoyable experience during my pregnancy, as opposed to being cut open, having to be on bed rest for weeks healing, and having to deal with any of the potential complications involved. When I read the other reviews, I had the following thoughts: 1) Dr. Kelly's strong Korean accent can cause a language barrier, which in brief interactions could be misunderstood. 2) Even though she has completed all required schooling in the US, she is a fourth generation acupuncturist from Korea, so her approach and techniques are likely going to be very different than Western born acupuncturists.

came in for bad tension headaches from car accident. she charged me $85.00 for one needle in my wrist. she kept flicking it asking if my headaches were gone. when I said no she said "I give you herb, your chee is very messed up" then left me in a room for 30 mins. when my husband went to get her she was yelling at a bill collector that she'll pay soon. then she tried to charge me $ 120 for the herbs that I must take or else the needle wouldn't work. when I said no she got angry and said I'll never get better till I take them. then she told me my pupils are too big and I must return the next day and pay another $85 for a second treatment. lol she's crazy. I went to greer, sc paid $42 for a couple needles to be put in my neck and back. I felt such a release I threw up. I felt no pain for 3 days and had great relief from my pain. this lady is a thief.

Dr. Kelly said that she is experienced with infertility treatment and clearly is not. I have had repeated pregnancy loss and after several years we decided to go with a gestational carrier who delivered our first child and was WONDERFUL. Needless to say, this was a VERY hard choice. We tried Dr. Kelly for the second child since our first acupuncturist moved away. Dr. Kelly is very insensitive, telling the gestational carrier she should charge more money, is not healthy enough to have another child (even though she passed medical screening by 3 doctors), asking her how she can give up a child, and making comments such as that I (as the intended mother) did not try enough or that the Gestational Carrier is having a child for a family that will always use a babysitter, when she doesn't even know us. She added stress when she was supposed to be relieving it. I can only say, she just doesn't understand the infertility at all. Maybe is better with headaches and backaches.

I called to ask her a question about working with people on a sliding scale and instead of being a little polite, she said "whats that, what's a sliding scale" and when I told her she said no very nasty as if she was above me. Well guess what with that attitude she is going to sabotage herself if she can't even answer a question without being judgemental.

Don't waste your time with this clinic. I went in to ask if she worked with patients going to IVF (in vitro fertilization) and she didn't even know what that was. After I had to explain to her what it was she suggested we try acupuncture in conjunction with trying to get pregnant naturally.....well, we did IVF before along with acupuncture and it worked and I know I can't get pregnant without IVF so I didn't appreciate her telling me I should try it naturally - Doesnt' she think I know my own situation! Anyway, when I asked her about her prices and if she offered any discounts for purchasing a certain amount of sessions...she said if I couldn't afford acupuncture maybe I should be having children....THE NERVE OF HER! DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME! She is RUDE and OPINIONATED! Not to mention clueless about the infertility treatments!
