He has gained a particular interest in pain management through a painful experience. He was diagnosed with spondylolysis as a teen and realized how pain could quickly devastate the quality of life. He couldn’t stand alone without a lumbar support band for more than five years in his teenage. This was part of the reason why he had decided to become a Korean Medicine Doctor specialized in pain management and started a journey of struggling to control pain and improve patient’s quality of life.
Speaking of his brief background, he received western and traditional medical education in Dongshin Univ. for six years. Then he completed an internship and residency at the National Medical Center in Seoul, South Korea. In addition to the experiences of in-patients in the general hospital, he had owned a private clinic in Korea from 2013 to 2018, specializing in pain management with a history of performing 100,000+ acupuncture treatments and treating 10,000+ patients. Through experiences in both western and eastern medicine, he sets it as a mission to bridge two fields of medicine together. He hopes the patient benefits from authentic integrative medicine. Besides, based on his commitment to the functional improvement of the human body, he got certified as a personal trainer(ACSM), giving him a chance to provide excellent care.
He has been teaching Systematic Acupuncture for pain since 2015 to thousands of Korean medical doctors across South Korea. He lives in the DC Metro area with his wife, a son, and a daughter. He has been weight-lifting for years, as well as he likes trekking, cycling, and traveling.
