That blend is central to the practice. Naturopathic medicine is approached through herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle-based strategies, giving attention to the broader patterns that shape wellbeing rather than isolating symptoms from the rest of a person’s health picture. Classical Chinese medicine adds another dimension, contributing techniques and perspectives that have long emphasized balance, circulation, and the interconnected nature of body systems.

Together, these modalities create a treatment style that is both comprehensive and individualized. Acupuncture is a core part of the clinical offering, alongside facial acupuncture and naturopathic medicine. The inclusion of facial acupuncture expands the practice’s scope while remaining consistent with its broader philosophy: using traditional techniques within a thoughtful, integrative framework.

Across services, the emphasis remains on care that is attentive, personalized, and rooted in established naturopathic and Chinese medical approaches. In Los Angeles, Dr. Patti Kim’s practice is defined by this synthesis of traditions—uniting naturopathic care with acupuncture and classical Chinese medicine to support patients through a more holistic and multi-dimensional lens.
