Meet the Family Behind YSC Acupuncture
At YSC, we aim to help you prioritize your health and bring balance back to your life. Traditional Korean Medicine is about putting the human touch back into medicine, because health is a human issue, and an emotional one, too. Instead of relying on machines, we use our eyes, ears, and hands to find the root cause of your symptoms. Every treatment is tailored to your constitution, because we're focused on the whole you, not a category.
A Multi-Generational Legacy of Healing
Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), a distinct branch of Traditional Eastern Medicine, is the foundation of everything we do at YSC. Our practice was founded by Young Choi, LAc, who carries forward wisdom passed down through three generations: her grandfather, her father Grandmaster Choi, and now Young herself. Together, this family's knowledge spans more than 100 years, brought to every patient who walks through our doors.

Founder
Young Choi, LAc
Traditional Korean medicine has always been part of Young's life. Her first experience with acupuncture came at age five, after spraining her ankle during a TaeKwonDo class taught by her father, Grandmaster Choi, who treated her injury himself. Since then, Young has turned to East Asian medicine for nearly every health concern she's faced.
Continuing a long family line of healers, Young founded YSC Acupuncture to bring that legacy of care to Midwood, Brooklyn, combining her own clinical training with the wisdom passed down from her father.
Young holds a master's degree in Traditional East Asian Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Sciences in New York City, where she completed her clinical training. She also interned at Housing Works, working with underserved communities. Her focus areas include women's health (PCOS, fibroids, hormonal imbalances), complex chronic conditions, and physical pain management.
