Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Lim and Dr. Mike are Amazing doctors. They are very knowledgeable and really take the time to listen to one's concerns. I feel seen and heard here. I would recommend them in a heart beat to anyone that is serious about getting healthier! I've been under their care for two months so far and I've seen a HUGE change in my symptoms as well as my mood. I feel like a different person! The Chiropractic care as well as their Holistic Approach to excellent Health is on point. They have brought back hope into my life as I've always dealt with Acne, Mental Fog, Hormonal Imbalances and other stuff, All this has significantly gotten better already! The Staff is also a pleasure to work with! Overall, I give them a 10. I am very satisfied! Thank you SYNERGY Team!!

Dr. Hoon Lim and his son Dr. Michael Lim having given me a renewed sense of mind and body alignment through Synergy Integrated Health. Having relocated from the east coast and in need of repair from competitive sports training, I visited the Balboa office location for the first time in December or a free chiropractic consultation. After a full evaluation with X-ray imaging, I expected to get right to "cracking" but I soon learned his functional medicine technique offers so much more than just the physical manipulations (although I have never received a compliment in my life on my posture until this second month as a weekly patient)! Understanding spinal health in the context of my diet and active lifestyle was crucial to not only feeling better but staying better and perform my best under the pressures of an athlete. Dr. Lim provides exercises and self-care practices and will hold you accountable, which is why I look to him as a chiropractor and a coach.

I took the 3 month program with Dr Mike and his dad. My problem was too many years of insomnia; it was so bad I was always nervous about laying down for the night; knowing what was in store for me starting at 2:00 in the morning as if an alarm clock is going off in my head. During the program, he was able to determine how my diet and adrenal glands were out of whack. I have made considerable progress; and instead of getting a 5 or 6 hour night of sleep about twice a month, I am now getting about 3 or 4 nights per week of at least 5 hrs sleep but more important, I notice the trend is even getting better than that ! Dr Mike is tuned into how your system works; interesting also when comparing to other medical people who "talk the talk" but are horrible examples themselves with their obesity; Dr. Mike actually "talks the talk and walks the walk"; he is in good shape himself, as he looks like he has been a gym rat over the years.

Got great news today. Since starting the program my mother has been doing great. She is a 75 year old woman diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, Cholesterol and high blood pressure taking 8 different medications which include 2 different insulin pens. After seeing her primary physician and looking at the labs done in June 2019. Glad to report not only is she losing weight but her A1C went from a >14 to 5.4 and Glucose from 364 to 112. Thanks Dr. Mike for guiding her in the right direction to a happy, health and medicine free life.

Dr. Lim is the best! His knowledge of functional medicine is incredible! I had no idea that the medications I was taking to "mask" my pain was actually making things worse! Dr. Lim helped me to address and treat the actual source of my pain, eliminating all medications, and now my pain is almost completely gone! I definitely recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Lim ASAP! You won't regret it!

My husband and I met Dr. Lim at one of his seminars. We started his program and in 4 months had lost over 40 pounds, felt great and our labs were much improved. My husband is now off of his blood pressure medication. We highly recommend Dr. Lim and his alternative treatment. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. Thank you Dr. Lim.

Dr. Lim has guided me through reversing Type II diabetes and more. I have been off insulin for about six weeks, with good control of my blood sugar. Some unexpected bonuses include also being of my blood pressure med and off Prilosec (for esophageal reflux) for weeks. I have also lost 35 pounds and feel energized. I feel like the aging process is in reverse.

I've had many chiropractors and many chiropractic students at Life University adjust me over the years and Michael is one of those rare gems. He listens. He cares. And he has that intuitive connection, knowing what adjustments my body needs in that moment. Schedule an appointment and experience for yourself.
