Yedam Well-Being Center

Dr. Chong is the best acupuncturist in NoVa hands down. I have been to many Korean and Chinese acupuncturists in my lifetime including the ones in Annandale. He spends time explaining your illnesses and the causes behind them. He has great bedside manners, is always smiling and is extremely empathetic, understanding & compassionate.

I have had acupuncture done here myself for my back pain by Dr. Chong- awesome! I have also been taking my elderly mother here and he has been the only one to make a difference in her health. She has bouts of dizziness, back pain and neuropathy in both of her legs and feet which are extremely painful. Dr. Chong has changed her quality of life. I bought 10 prepaid sessions and more for my mother.

We have tried other Korean acupuncturists in Annandale but Dr. Chong is light years ahead of the rest although his birth age is younger than the others. He is a 3rd generation acupuncturist.


Dr. Chong is always busy with patients that are Korean, American and many other nationalities as he is bilingual. Even though his schedule is usually fully committed, the receptionists will always squeeze you in. Front desk team is always sweet, courteous and very helpful.

If you want the best acupuncturist for your pain or illnesses, you should definitely come here!

Dr. Puramo Chong's medical practice is of a high order of sophistication and effectiveness. His methodology aims to directly tackle the root cause of illness - the root cause is more often than not to be found in imbalances in the "constitution." In my own case per Dr. Chong's constitution analysis, an intolerance to cold proclivity exists, leading to digestive/stomach imbalances and/or a slew of other symptoms such as chronic fatigue. I must report that his easy to consume herbal medicine treatments have much improved my overall health and sense of well being and have addressed various symptoms including digestive and fatigue related chronic conditions. I would strongly urge suffering folks to do themselves a favor and commence the journey into the world of Korean traditional medicine with this wonderful physician.

When you listen to good and honest people you get good and honest advice. In that regard I was doubly blessed. After having severe back pain where I couldn’t move, turn around or even sit in a car. A good friend of mine suggested that I go see Dr. Chong which was the first part of good advice that I received. So I called up and made up an appointment to see Dr. Chong. After two visits I was totally healed, pain free, laughing once again. And now, if anybody has similar problem I give them my honest and good advice and say go see Dr Chong.
