Dr. Daniel Ng is a dedicated and skilled acupuncture practitioner. I have been seeing him for many years. Initially I found him for pain management after a car accident; I have received needles to treat chronic allergies and for a variety of health issues. Generally the relief is immediate. I cannot recommend Dr. Ng enough. He is knowledgeable, kind, dedicated, and conscientious. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Ng for his expertise and knowledge. I went to him due to an Ulcerative Colitis flare up. He spoke to me about Spontaneous Healing and really by the 3rd or 4th appt, I experienced that. I am very grateful that I found him. He is very kind and very reasonable in his charges for treatment and any herbs/supplements. read more

Mr.Ng is very friendly and accommodating! He helped me with my headache ! Great service and clean facility!!

I've never done acupuncture before but I wanted to check it out. I heard great things about Daniel Ng and after seeing him myself, I can confirm they're all true! He is very sweet and walks you through everything very thoroughly. I've been dealing with a stress fracture in my shin and my acupuncture treatments always make me feel better. Office experience is smooth and efficient. I'll be seeing him many more times, and I look forward to each visit because of how caring he is, and how good I feel from the treatment! read more

The doctor and his assistant are pleasant, the review is 2 stars because because of the treatment quality/length. The doctor briefly asked me what he can do for me, but didn't take any notes, so asked me the same thing at the next appointment. The needles stayed in for 15 mins both times, so very short. read more

I highly recommend this business for your acupuncture needs. Dr. Ng is very professional and treats you with respect and kindness. The office is clean and he uses cupping as an addition to your treatment if needed. I will definitely be back for my future needs. read more

I've enjoyed Dr Ng's services for almost 4 years now; his practice is only a few blocks from where I live. His treatment of my carpal tunnel post-operative has been fine, as has his treating my chronic stress and pain issues. He's very professional, precise, and professional in our sessions. We've experimented with lots of addressing my challenging issues. I highly recommend his services. read more

Its been exactly 6 months since coming to see Dr.Ng and dr ng's acupuncture has became a big part of my weekly-biweekly routine. As im entering my 30's i noticed a lot of weird skin issues such as ezcema that would flare up due to LIFE (stress etc) no matter how much i work out, juice(juicing for 4 years consistently) nothing really helped my flare up behind my ear lobes was only getting worse and would start bleeding clear liquid, my barrier of my skin was so messed up. I thought it was borderline psoriasis. It even spreaded to the nape of my neck. Me and my homegirl made it a point to hold each other accountable to try dr.ng and we are SOLD. After our third visit with the herb cream dr ng prescribed tonus our ezcema completely disapeared i dont even need to use the cream consistently even tho i should. My skin finally healedand is smooth again (not crusty iykyk) my friends ezcema on her face is completely healed too. Trust me, im a esthetician and when i say nothing worked, nothing worked. I used the celluma light therapy, light stim everything i can think of although it helped aid the healing . Dr ng helped our symptoms vanished... Of course I continued going to dr ng for my overall health. My hormones, calming my body and mind so that it boost my immune system to aid my body in healing from outside stressors. My periods now are painless and being super irregular due to chronic stress ive seen my cycle regulated over the course of 6 months. Ive seen my period come more in the course of 6 months getting treatment vs a year of not getting acupuncture done. Who wouldve known a women's cycle is super important and could effect mood and weightloss etc. Dr ng is GOAT That 30 minute nap is like getting a massage without getting a massage. It is a one man show here but if you reallly want a nap and dont like noise i recommend bringing your headphones n listening to a meditation. I like coming in the early daytime or evening this way i can have a nice kick start to a chill day or a nice wind down for a chill night. Now i cant stop referring my clients to dr ng!!! Im so glad i found him. Will upload my before n after pic of my ezcema soon! read more

I saw Daniel Ng for acupuncture on Jan 15, 2024 and had a great experience. Called on phone once, couldn't get through. Second phone call spoke to him briefly and he made an appointment for me a few days later. During the appointment he asked about my health issues and we discussed for a few minutes. He described the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach and which points he would be focusing on. He placed the needles, which had some discomfort but within the range of other acupuncture I've had done. He was careful and asked me to tell him if the pain didn't subside. I was left for 30 mins to rest with the needles. He came back within 5-10 minutes to check on all the needles again, which made me feel cared for and safe. He removed the needles and we briefly discussed some lifestyle changes to try out. Paid cash to the front desk person. I've had acupuncture a handful of times: once with another place on Geary, and a few times at Kaiser. Daniel Ng gave the impression of someone who has done this work for a long time and is interested in helping others through acupuncture. read more

Dr. Ng was able to treat my son's eczema with just one session of acupuncture and a herbal cream he provided. From raw, even bloody eczema because he was so itchy that he would scratch to now having skin that is eczema free and being a happy child. All this after having gone to his pediatrician and being prescribed steroid cream which helps for a couple weeks before eczema returns again needing to use the steroid cream repetitively. read more

I found Dr Ng through yelp. He is a bare bones but super effective acupuncturist. 30 mins and you're done. I went in for stress (pretty generalized) and not being able to sleep; I came out the next day able to sleep for the first time in 2 weeks. I've tried at least 5 acupuncturists in SF and he's the best I've found so far. Efficient, effective, no nonsense, and very cost effective for SF. Will be back again. read more

I have successfully completed my treatment and I cannot stress how much the treatment given by Dr. Ng helped my recovery. I 100% recommend Dr.Ng for any and all types of acupuncture needs. I will continue to recommend my friends and family to this acupuncture clinic. If your searching for acupuncture treatment look no further you have found an authentic clinic. read more

I was referred to Dr. Ng's office through my doctor for my knee pain over a year ago. His office was the first location I ever went to for acupuncture. I came back today a little over a year after my last visit since I started feeling pain in the knee again. Dr. Ng is very friendly and welcoming. When I got there, he took my pulse and was spot on when he told me I needed to stop drinking cold drinks (besides hot coffee, I pretty much have been drinking only cold stuff). That's when you know he's a good and knowledgeable traditional doctor. As for the acupuncture, it didn't hurt when he puncture or pull the needle out. This was something I was scared about during my very first visit. Additionally, he also gave me a bottle of joint medicine for free today. His clinic is a bit small and located in a busy area. There is no parking lot, and it is street/meter parking. Make sure to feed the meters for at least 45 mins if you go that route since there are a lot of enforcers. Nice guy, would nonetheless recommend. read more

I've been enjoying the many benefits of acupuncture for more than 15 years, and have been treated by several acupuncturists, and Dr. Ng is the real deal. Not only is he a seasoned practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and herbs, he's also a Ph.D with professorial experience and credentials a mile long, and you couldn't ask for a more kind, caring, and skilled healthcare professional. I started seeing Dr. Ng after shoulder surgery to reattach three completely disconnected muscle-tendons in my rotator cuff upon a strong recommendation from a trusted friend. Thanks to his expert care, I had no swelling or pain of any kind during the recovery process, and my orthopedist was amazed at how quickly and thoroughly my shoulder healed after such a severe injury. Dr. Ng has treated me for a variety of conditions, all with excellent results, and he's an expert when it comes to problems with allergies and sinus, the reproductive system, hormonal balance, and injuries. I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Ng, and have referred him to many friends. can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Ng! read more

Daniel Ng Acupuncture Clinic - Acupuncture Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've tried many acupuncturists over the years. What I like was not only was my back much better but he explained what he was doing and why. He was very professional and the cost was reasonable. read more

I have been coming here for the past month or so for acupuncture through my workers comp. Dr. Ng and his assistant Helen are very welcoming and courteous to their clients. They wastes no time, they get you in and start your acupuncture right away followed by light massage. To show their clients appreciation they gave snack boxes for the holiday. read more

Just recently I had an excruciating pain in my whole body and I haven't had this much pain for a long time. I tried restarting and took some pain relief for a few days but no improvement. So I called Dr. Ng. Dr. Ng. gave me a prescription that quickly relieved my pain. About 20 some years ago I received acupuncture and acupressure treatments including Chinese herb medicine from Dr. Ng, all the treatments were very effective. read more

Dr. Ng was very nice and squeezed me in very fast. His office was very cramped and very busy. It was a one man show with his cell phone going off constantly and him running back and forth frazzled between two rooms/patients and making new appointments and taking money from the previous clients. Most upsetting was the acupuncture experience and his service. It felt like he was very rushed and sloppy just pricking me all over. It was unusually painful, and I didn't know it at the time but when I got home, I saw that I was bleeding everywhere. Even when he pulled out the needles, it was painful unlike any other prior acupuncturist experience. Then he massages my shoulder also roughly and hurriedly, and took the money. I couldn't get out fast enough. Maybe that was a bad day but from that scary experience, I cannot recommend him to anyone. read more

I was referred to Dr. Ng by a spine specialist MD following an injury to my back at work. Dr. Ng is friendly and professional, and takes the time to explain the treatments he performs. His massage therapist is very kind as well. The office and treatment rooms are always relaxing and quiet, which is a plus as well. Thus far, of all the treatments that have been recommended to me to treat pain in my back, the acupuncture by Dr. Ng has been the most effective, and I am grateful it. read more

I wanted to wait after a few sessions to give my review for Dr. Ng since I had never done acupuncture before. TLDR: I cannot believe the progress I've made in just 5 treatments. This has seriously changed my life and I cannot be more grateful that I found Dr. Ng. Backstory: I had gotten on a high hormonal birth control implant (Nexplanon) for 2.5 months back in Nov 2020. I got it removed Jan 2021 due to horrible side effects (mental obsessing/looping, terrible insomnia, extreme fatigue, hair loss, rage, insane moodswings, intense period pains). The side effects ended up lasting until Nov 2021 (a whole year!). I even went to the ER back in April for blood clots and heavy bleeding. My medical team at Kaiser told me that the hormonal birth control and my out-of-control mind/body were unrelated and offered to get me on MORE birth control and anti-psychotics. One of my Kaiser doctors even told me "to get over myself - your mental issues are your own" which has made me reevaluate a lot about Western medicine. Anyway, I opted to ignore them since I know my body and turned to seeking natural treatments. After months of trying all different things, I was suggested cupping/acupunture for hormonal imbalance through a yoga studio in early Nov 2021. I had done my research online about acupuncture and saw several people talk about how there are usually multiple treatments needed so I knew I was in for at least 4-8 sessions before I saw any results. I found Dr. Ng through a Google search and called as soon as I could. He saw me the day I called, and I told him what happened. He not only believed me, he evaluated me with a lot of kindness, compassion, and skillfulness. He asked me a lot of questions about how I was feeling, I told him everything and he just started right away for hormonal rebalancing, anxiety, and insomnia. I just completed my 5th session (5 weeks in a row) and the change has been like night and day. I no longer have intense mental spinning, my emotions are much more controllable. I can control my thoughts. My body isn't fighting against me anymore. I feel way more balanced. I feel like myself again. I can't believe how much has changed in such a short amount of time. I cannot express enough how much I went into this not knowing what would happen, but the end results have been absolutely phenomenal. Dr. Ng is a true master, no frills, and incredibly humble. It has been an honor to get treatment from him. read more

I woke up this morning with stuffy nose, sore throat, major headache, body ache, all kind of cold symptoms. This sucks! because I really need to get to the office to finish some work. I have some deadlines. So I called Dr.Ng around 8:30AM and he told me to come around 10AM. I was very grateful that he can see me last minute! Went to his office, there were a couple of other patients in the different rooms. He checked my pulse and knew exactly my problems. He told me to lay down, and he put needles on my face (near the sinus area), my foot, my hands and my forehead for about 40 minutes. It was NOT painful, guys. So don't worry. It was very relaxing, I felt asleep. After he took off the needles, he told me to turn around so he can do the cupping. I must say at this point I already can tell the difference. My sinus was clearing up, the headache's gone. I was very relaxed. The cupping helped the body ache. I wasn't feeling horrible after my 60 min session with Dr. Ng. I felt A LOT better. I went to a nearby restaurant for lunch and had a bowl of beef soup. Went straight to the office feeling like a new person, ready to work. WOW. Dr. Ng knows what he's doing. I'm a firm believer of Eastern Medicine. And Dr.Ng reconfirm my faith. He gave me some herbal pills to take twice a day. He said I should be feeling 100% by tomorrow. I told him that I'm already 99% right now ;) PS: Oh, if it helps your decision: Dr.Ng's rate is very reasonable. Check out his website for the details. read more

I've been to many acupuncturists in the city but no one does wonders like Dr.ng. He is very kind and his soft energy is like a little oasis in the world of chaos. He checks pulse and pinpoints which part of the body needs attention. He puts needles to unblock the flow of energy in the body so it will function better. The next day is when the effects hit in the most . Feels really amazing. People go to acupuncture for many reasons-For me Going to his office is like a drug addict going to get some ecstasy. But So much better and healthier- not to mention what wonders it does to the body. Forget shrink or psychic ( although look out for crazy phychic next door trying to stop you for a reading) Dr. ng and eastern medicine will make u feel life is beautiful after all . Thanks Dr.Ng!!! read more

My wife developed eczema all over her body all of a sudden last year. She went to the dermatologist who just prescribed her a heavy duty steroid cream after seeing her for 10 mins. She decided to stop using it, and she found some relief from some homeopathic gel she bought OTC. She spent a lot of money on OTC creams and lotions and tinctures. The spots would heal and a new spot would form somewhere else so nothing really was healing. Things kept spreading, and nothing was helping so she decided to try acupuncture. She saw another reviewer on here saying that Dr. Ng helped his son and decided to see Dr. Ng. My wife had one session with him (1st time with acupuncture). He prescribed some herbal medicine that she had to boil and drink and he prescribed some herbal cream. My wife said she felt instantly better, but she wanted to wait to see if she gets another flare. It has been a month since she saw Dr. Ng, and she has had no new flare-ups, and her old spots have healed completely. It is amazing! She was living with eczema for a year and wished she went to see him earlier. If something is wrong and Western medicine isn't working, give Dr. Ng a try. Traditional Chinese Medicine is safe and miraculous and it's been used for centuries. Thank you Dr. Ng for giving my wife a sense of normalcy again. read more

I was referred to Dr. Daniel Ng by my primary care physician to help alleviate pain from a injury that occurred on the job. As I am given a large supply of pain medication: the pills were not the most holistic method of treatment, and the side effects often out-weighed the benefit. Dr. Ng has been able to greatly reduce any pain or muscle cramping. His meek demeanor only hides his great knowledge of the body, and how to bring those rhythms into sinc through continued therapy. I can not praise this man enough for what he has done for me. read more

Dr. Ng is an experienced acupuncturist who takes the time to listen to your issues and carefully explains his treatments. He's been helpful with my digestive issues and my overall body health. I always feel revitalized after each appointment. My Mother has also been seeing him recently for her arthritis and back/leg issues. She's become a regular now. His weekly treatments has been helping her ease her symptoms in a big way. He's also versed in TCM and overall very knowledgeable. read more

Due to my dreadful schedule as a full time student, insomnia and stress were huge issues in my life. Sleeping pills didn't work, nor mediation with my racing mind. I thought I would never find balance in my life and was going to surrender as a moody person. That is, until I received therapy sessions from Dr. Ng. I had a couple of friends who performed acupuncture on me, but I could definately tell that their experience level was not even close to Dr. Ng's! His therapy and treatments immediately improved my sleeping habits within the first few sessions! Dr. Ng is a very professional and wise Acupuncturist. He is experienced with cupping, electro-acupunctures that melt those nasty knotty muscles away, moxa, qi-gong, and so much more! He is a great intuitative person as well. For instance, he can feel your pulse and tell you exactly what is in disharmony and gives you the perfect treatment and herbs specific to your needs. He is definately all about holistic healing and treating his clients as individuals. He is the best doctor, therapist and healer I have ever had and is totally worth trying. read more

Dr. Ng has helped me with my food & sinus allergies. His recommendations just by checking your pulse is amazing. If you're a first time patient to acupuncture remember to relax! Thanks Dr. Ng! You're the best. read more

I'd been going through a ton of job stress as a result of being a freelancer in a lousy economy. I had bouts of insomnia and emotional distress. I thought about giving acupuncture a try, and spoke to a couple of new age types that really turned me off. Then I decided to go to the source, and find an authentic practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Boy, am I glad I did. Dr. Ng is the real deal. I've been seeing him for several months now, and the insomnia is gone. We have moved on to neck and back issues, and I just feel calmer and more grounded after every visit. He is reasonably priced, and his medicine works. Take it from a science snob and a natural skeptic. Asian medicine may not work the same way as Western medicine, but it's been around for thousands of years, and they've had a long time to get it right. Highly Recommended. read more

I was referred to Daniel from a work colleague. Daniel is a hidden gem in San Francisco. I went to Daniel for asthma trouble and it has drastically improved since I started seeing him. He is very calm and easy to communicate with. He has also treated my shoulder pain and stress. It is a very relaxing experience better than any massage. My sister and my housemate have since attended him and were also extremely pleased with their treatment. I highly recommend Daniel. read more

This review is for Dr Ng's superb professionalism and knowledge. I came to Dr Ng because I heard great things about his work for neuropathic pain. Just from my first visit I can see he surpasses many other acupuncturists I've seen. He is nice, calm, polite and seems very sincere. I like how he was very gentle with the needles and was very keen about comfort. He knows how to make you feel relaxed. He also explains very clearly what each point is for. I find this empowering since he doesn't leave his patients in the dark and his explanations makes me feel he is very knowledgeable. From my first visit I can tell he is also up to date with Chinese medicine. Although TCM is an ancient practice, the science is constantly being revised and improved on. Dr Ng sounds knowledgeable in both TCM and various areas of conventional understanding of biology and medicine. Overall I am pleased with my experience. He even sent me home with a free sample of bio freeze for my pain. read more

Daniel is the kindest and most knowledgeable acupuncturist. He is also very modest and asked me to tone down my previous review in which I was praising him too much - in a rather westerly way - I might add ;) His personality and knowledge aside (which I really value, but he won't let me comment on those) what really matters is that his treatment WORKS (oh, there I am going west again, capitalizing words!). He treated me and helped me rid my shoulder of pain after a decompression surgery. Just recently I went back to Daniel, after a 1970's Mustang flew into my lane, and left me concussed and injured on my left side. Now, two months after the accident, I am still going to ask Daniel to treat me. I go in dizzy and with a headache, and I come out clear minded and free of pain. As the the treatment progresses, the pain has gotten softer and softer, and I am hoping that pretty soon it will go away for good, just like my shoulder pain did. I truly respect and trust Daniel, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help in recovering after any kind of injury. read more

I went to Daniel Ng as a last resort. I had had terrible arm pain and regular medicine didn't know what was wrong let alone treat it- I'd been off work for 6 months with no end in sight. A friend recommended I see him and in 3 visits, one a week, I was back at work pain free. Can't say enough about how grateful I am and how good he is at what he does. See him and you are seeing the best. His rates are super low as well. Totally affordable! read more

I have been doing acupuncture for over ten years in different cities including NYC and Chicago. We recently moved to San Francisco, and Dr. Ng came highly recommended from a friend. He is just as wonderful as our friend told us. My husband and I both see him for any ailment that comes up (back pain, TMJ, neck pain). He fits us in promptly and is absolutely amazing. We are so happy we found him. read more

Yes, he even works on children! When you have ailments that Western medicine just doesn't seem to help, Dr. Daniel Ng works miracles. From anxiety to injuries to diseases, Dr. Ng is like the Eastern medicine equivalent of my ER doctor. I personally have gone to him with desperate last-minute appointments (which he kindly squeezes people in for) when I couldn't move my neck or body at all. I have always walked out of there pain free and rarely needing multiple appointments. Last week when my 9-year-old daughter was in critical condition from severe stomach cramping, constipation, chest pains and anxiety, she went to the ER twice, a UCSF GI specialist, several pediatricians, and other doctors. No one could do anything for her; it was shocking that so many doctors could come up with nothing, while my daughter was in severe constant pain for over a month. Dr. Ng took her in right away and even did acupuncture WITHOUT NEEDLES! He has a special digital pen that he uses for kids. He was the only person who actually affected her condition and the only person to step up to the plate and really try to address her health, instead of masking it with drugs. After a lifetime of trying to find real medical help, I am now a true believer in Eastern medicine and Dr. Daniel Ng's work. He is a true healer and the real deal. Highly recommend for everyone including children. read more

I went to Dr. Ng for my first acupuncture experience. I was having serious digestive issues and regular medicine wasn't helping. Dr. Ng asked me some thorough questions and then checked my pulse. After his evaluation, he told me what he was going to focus on to help me. It's now been two days and I am feeling much better. I am not fully back to 100% but I know I am on my way. I really enjoyed this experience and plan to go again. I'd highly recommend you go and try it. read more

Dr. Ng is the best Acupuncture doctor I have ever seen. I have been going to his clinic for more than 15 years. His friendly services plus his experience make him the best. I would highly recommend him to anybody. read more

I went to Dr Ng with severe shoulder pain (it turns out I need a partial shoulder replacement) and while he was not able to eliminate the pain completely, he was able to reduce it and boost my energy overall so I could get through the day. I have experience with other acupuncturists, and feel Dr Ng is competent and patient and overall I can recommend him highly to anyone needing acupuncture in San Francisco. read more
