I have been coming to see Dr. Yeung for a couple months for my shoulder and neck pain, irregular period, migraine and infertility. She is definitely the best acupuncturist I've met. I've been searching for a good acupuncturist around the area for some time now, and I was finally relieved to have found Dr. Yeung. She speaks Cantonese, mandarin and English fluently. She is very patient and very kind. I have had neck and shoulder stiffness on and off for about 5 years, after couple treatments with Dr Yeung, the stiffness is gone!!! I couldn't believe it!!!!! I then continued to see her for my irregular period and other minor issues. She been amazing and I highly recommend her! read more

Coming out of a COVID infection, my lingering cough was bugging me. The sticky yellow flem coming up indicated that there was still inflammation in my lungs. Jack prescribed me the most bitter medicine herb mix ever, but I drank it, and after only two applications on the same day, the flem is all nice and clear. Feeling confident that my cough will be gone completely very soon! read more

I was treated with acupuncture and cupping by Jack Chang on numerous occasions for about 4 weeks. After the second week, I noticed I was a lot more calm and felt at ease. He treated my liver and stomach. His cupping revealed where I had the most inflammation or lack of circulation. I subsequently treated it and truly believe I am on the road to good health. Jack Chang is patient and has an aura of peace and healing which I believe more patients nowadays need from their health care team. read more

I am 77 and came to Dr. Jack with several issues: Stress, depression, pain, poor immune system and severe fatigue. After a few treatments with each of his healing modalities I feel 20 years younger and was able to take on a 9-5 project producing an online TV show. My family and my doctor they could hardly believe the transformation. I have benefitted from ALL all his healing modalities: acupuncture, hypnotism supplement recommendations, biofeedback digital diagnostics, his medical intuitive distance healing and LAST BUT NOT LEAST, his little-known treatments that I'll now describe that benefit ANY ailments! I had been previously diagnosed by my medical doctor that many of my symptoms were brought on by Electro Magnetic Frequencies, now called dirty energy from cell phones, 'smart' meters, and too much screen time. I firmly believe that most people's ailments are either caused by these or worsened. Dr. Jack is one of only a few alternative doctors in the US who is trained in whole body Biosyntonie Treatments that put the body back into a self-healing state counteracting these damaging frequencies. read more

Jack knows what he's doing. I received energy acupuncture from Jack and I've never felt what an actual "energetic shift" felt like until doing a session with him. I was able to feel stuff moving through my body and after the session was very relaxed. read more

One of the best places to go for cupping and acupuncture. I have been coming to see Dr. Yeung and Jack for maintenance work from working out. Cupping is by far one of the best ways to loosen the shoulders and neck after a strenuous workout. I highly recommend them for any kind of sports related issues. read more

Dr. Jack has made me a total believer in acupuncture. I've been seeing Jack off and on for 5 years. I first went to see Jack after my podiatrist threw up his hands and said I don't know what to do to help you after we had tried everything to bring relief without surgery for a neuroma in my foot. I also had gone for two years for physical therapy for a frozen shoulder and for chronic lower back issues where my back would go out on me and I'd be in chronic pain and could barely move. During my first few sessions 5 years ago Jack was able to resolve the pain in my back, shoulder, and foot. Within about 10 sessions I was pain free. I've been in great shape for the past 5 years until quarantine started and I could no longer go to the gym. I've recently gone back to Jack since my back went out again. His course of treatment includes a mix of deep tissue massage, cupping, acupuncture and herbs. I believe he also treats women with infertility issues, helps people with allergies, relief from colds and flus, all levels of body aches, etc. Jack was referred to me by a friend and I highly recommend him. I'm addicted to my therapy with him and now see him monthly for maintenance, he does not take insurance but he's worth every penny and his prices are incredibly reasonable for the level of service and the number of services he provides in an hour to hour and a half session. read more

Good treatment at a fair price. Dr. Jack Chang treated me very nicely and kindly. My only suggestion is that a little bit of soft music while the treatment is given will go a long way. Thank you! read more

I have some chemotherapy-induced neuropathy that has worsened despite the last chemotherapy dose being more than several months ago.

He is compassionate about helping people feel better and I'm glad to have him as my acupuncture practitioner. read more

I came to see Jack as I have been having relentless bilateral hand eczema for the past two years. Previously having tried high dose topical steroids intermittently with temporary relief, I was eager to find a more permanent solution and to understand the cause of my skin issues. Jack was very knowledgable in helping me understand the gut and skin connection and with a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbs and adjusting my diet, I saw a drastic improvement in my skin in just a month. I would highly recommend working with Jack, as he offers a plethora of knowledge on how to repair the body and his treatments are effective! read more

My very first time visit Jack and it was really amazing. I was scared of cupping therapy but Jack made the entire process very enjoyable. I am definitely coming back as I instantly felt better when the cups were on my back. read more

I started seeing Jack in hopes to find a long-term solution for my worsening hives/eczema and terrible headaches. I've seen many western medicine doctors before, but all they could offer was more steroid cream for the eczema and tylenol for the headaches. This has been a battle for the last three years and nothing seemed to fully resolve the underlying issue. Then Jack came along. A couple of recommendations, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and education, and I am already seeing results!! It is mind blowing! I highly recommend anyone who is experiencing any kind of debilitating symptoms that have not been resolved by traditional medicine to come see Jack and give it a shot. He is extremely personable and knowledgeable about how the body works and I am SO thankful I found him. read more

This is my first review. I really love this treatment. I had a hard time sleeping and after treatment I am totally better. Thanks love this place read more

My 5 month old baby boy was suffering from constipation for 6 days. We tried a bunch of things - prune juice, hot bath, massage, coconut oil...nothing was working. Every time he needed to go, he would strain and cry out with pain. I contacted his pediatrician but she kept on brushing it off as a common occurrence and the only suggestions she gave were prune juice and liquid suppositories (which are hard on baby's system). Fed up by the pediatricians' apathy and no longer able to watch him suffer, I contacted Jack on the 7th day. Instead of trying to schedule an appointment, Jack gave me a few suggestions over the phone that I could try first, for the sake of minimizing my costs. I was already impressed. Then he called me back within an hour with more suggestions. He also asked me to give him an update the next day. Jack showed much more concern & care for my baby than any pediatrician we've seen so far. I called the next day letting him know that the suggestions didn't work - my baby was still constipated. He agreed to seeing my baby without missing a beat (note: most medical professionals don't feel comfortable accepting patients under 6 months of age for liability reasons) My son is a pretty happy baby and doesn't fuss very much in general - but I've never seen him as calm as he was with Jack. Jack showed me several acupressure massages that would help relieve the constipation, and even checked with a naturopath on what I should feed the baby. He took his time to explain everything and spent over an hour with us. When Jack performed acupuncture on the baby, he didn't even feel the needles - just continued playing with his hands as if nothing happened. At the end of the appointment, Jack gave me his email and asked me to continue updating him on my son's condition. A couple hours after the appointment, my baby had a great big bowel movement effortlessly - no straining or pain. It was day 8. Ecstatic, I emailed Jack the results. But instead of considering the case closed, Jack asked me to try a few more things, to determine whether there are any other underlying issues. Jack is very easy to reach, both by phone and email. With email, he replies very promptly, sometimes within the hour. I don't think my son needs a pediatrician so long as he sees Jack :) read more

Having a read a bit about hypnotherapy I thought I would give it a try. I had some on going issues and I read positive things about hypnotherapy. Jack Chang was highly recommended. Came to see him and made me felt very comfortable and listen to my concerns. We went straight to the session and it was great. Never experienced anything like this before. Came out the session feeling like a weight was lifted from my back. Clear mind and positive outlook to the future. I'm looking forward to my second session with Jack. Thank you! read more

I am suffering with Vitiligo and Dr. Jack has been instrumental in helping me with the treatment of my white skin patches. the herbal teas that he has prepared, has also greatly reduced the progression of the disease. the most wonderful thing about being under his care is the trust factor, where I truly believe I'm in his capable and kind hands. read more

I was in an awful car accident a few weeks ago in which I was the smashed car in the middle of a three car collision on the freeway. I've never been to an acupuncturist or chiropractor but it was highly recommended I seek medical attention after the crash if I wanted to recover quickly. Thus, I immediately booked a chiropractor and an acupuncturist within 24 hours of the crash. Jack came to the rescue and was very accommodating and agreed to meet me at 8 AM on a Sunday morning to begin my treatment. Before seeing Jack, I was having horrendous whiplash symptoms - an ultra stiff neck, back and headaches. I saw Jack about 4-5 times over the course of 2 weeks for acupuncture, cupping, herbals and some spine/neck adjustments. My recovery, given the accident I was in, was amazing and quick. What often takes others a couple months, took me 2 weeks. My mobility is back, the headaches are gone, and I feel very relaxed. Acupuncture isn't scary! In fact, it was super soothing and calming. The needles are so thin they really don't hurt at all. Jack is great for a variety of reasons - he's extremely accessible, extremely knowledgeable about Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is very accommodating. He was always willing to meet at early or late hours to accommodate my work schedule. Additionally, he truly cares about his patients - go see Jack! read more

I went to my usual doctor to have my rotator cuff checked out. I've had past issues with tendinitis & a shoulder dislocation a long time ago and I haven't been in this much pain ever. My doctor wasn't of much help and would only suggest physical therapy after 2 months of consistent pain. I've had acupuncture and cupping treatment before and have been searching for a long time because I was hesitant to try a new place outside of my usual acupuncturist in SF who is also aging and cannot hit my pressure points as well anymore. I was very lucky in finding Jack. Within the first session I was able to regain quite a lot of mobility in my shoulder and was not in nearly as much pain as before. Jack is very knowledgeable about your body's alignment and staying healthy. After a couple of sessions I have full range of motion with very minimal pain in certain areas. With a combination of stretching at home and going to a few more sessions I expect to make a quicker recovery than what my doctor suggested. Although it was not my first time receiving acupuncture/cupping, Jack explained everything he was doing and why, it made me feel very comfortable and would definitely suggest Jack to anyone who is a first timer to acupuncture or cupping. read more

Dr. Jack, is a very caring individual. He is extremely knowledgeable in Chinese herbal medicine.

After walking around San Francisco for an entire day, I had a sore lower back and started limping from left ankle pain. For many years, I've had a problem with this ankle from bad sprains due to basketball injuries. Since I was staying at the San Mateo Holiday Inn, I decided to look up an acupuncturist because some friends told me that it'd work wonders. I gave it a try and Jack was amazing! I felt no pain as he carefully inserted a needles into my hand and when he moved the needles, I felt my ankle muscles spasm! After 15 minutes, he retracted the needles and I felt fantastic! For my back, he performed an ancient cupping technique that increased circulation in my lower back. My back and ankle feel great and now I am a believer of acupuncture. read more

I don't go to Kaiser anymore! Jack can fix anything!!! I trust him and his knowledge from biology all the way to psychology. He knows what he's doing, he explains what he's going to do to help you and it actually works! read more

I just wanted to update my review by saying that Jack has been very accommodating and flexible about scheduling times and frequencies. Sometimes it is hard for me to continue various wellness or treatment programs due to schedule conflicts. This has not been the case with Jack. If for some reason, there has to be sometime between your treatments, he gives you "homework" to make sure you stay on the right track to wellness until the next appointment. Just another reason to give him a try for whatever ails you. read more

After getting into a fender bender, I was recommended by a friend to see Jack just in case I had any issues. I had a stiff neck and a slight headache but I wasn't sure how big of a deal it was. Jack has been extremely caring and knowledgeable when it comes to treatment and making sure I was thoroughly informed of what he was doing. On top of that, he not only helped with my neck but also made adjustments to straighten my spine! With a combination of cupping, acupuncture, and soft tissue manipulation, it's only been a few sessions and the stiffness in my neck is nearly gone and I feel I've been able to stand taller and more comfortably! I would definitely refer a friend his way for acupuncture and soft tissue manipulation! read more

As a smoker of about six years I suffered from a chronic cough and along with acquired other symptoms. My back ached, my hands and feet felt cold yet sweat, my sinuses were haywire, and I had anxiety from living this way. It got a lot worse this spring, when my sister so kindly passed her bronchitis onto me. I was coughing up some grossly dark looking lung butter(definitely from all the tar that the smoke left).My upper back grew into one giant knot from coughing so much and I was told by a massage therapist that I needed cupping done. I had no Idea what she was talking about so I looked into it and after doing a cost/benefit analysis I decided it was worth a try. I looked up 'cupping therapy' here on Yelp and found a promising practitioner nearby. My 1st session with Jack set me down the road of recovery at a quick pace. I quit smoking five days prior because I simply could not inhale smoke with all the phlegm blocking my air and I decided it was time if it was causing me more harm than good. Jack poked some acupuncture points in my toes and ear and I swear I coughed up twice as much phlegm the next couple days. I could start to hear it breaking apart and felt it moving up my trachea. Sounds gross I know, but there was a lot of it. Jack also provided pills to cease the cessation of smoking and it really helped. I stopped getting cold sweats and when I would crave smoking the craving would last no more than a minute. The 2nd session was the main event. Jack applied some more acupuncture needles and had me relax for a little while. He came back in the room and removed the needles and then decided to help break up the knot in my back and put 6 cups on for 2 series of 15 minutes each. I could feel the tension in my face, neck, and back loosen up immediately and he complimented the treatment with a truly glorious back crack. That day I hit the gym and felt immediately better. by the end of the 2nd week my back was almost free of tension and my sinuses and lungs felt 90% better. By the 3rd session Jack was helping me with things that I hadn't even noticed like my posture and the way I walk. We continued on the acupuncture and It I haven't had irregularly sweaty hands or feet nearly as much as I used to. Like Jack was fond of saying, It's all connected. Throughout the healing experience Jack was very knowledgeable and encouraging. It seemed like he had already experienced what I had been going through and knew exactly what to do, it was uncanny. I recommend him to anyone who feels like they're due for a rebalance in mind, body, and spirit read more

June is here and losing and keeping 10 lbs off this last month with Jack's help is undeniably the best thing ever. The treatments for pain, metabolism and general well being plus his generous time in consulting have really given me the edge I have been looking for. The goal is now achievable as I start losing 10lbs at a time. Can't wait, meanwhile staying with Jack's treatments and advice and getting more energized keeps me a loyal fan and client :) read more

I had some pretty severe gout going on in my right middle toe. Bad enough that I couldn't walk without crutches, so I went to Kaiser to see my doctor. She prescribed Colchicine. It helped a little, but the prescription was only for three days (because of the toxicity) and the pain still was there. A week later, I got a second severe flare up that crept up into my ankle! Twice the pain. Quickly, I found Jack on Yelp, and made an appointment. He took me in on a Sunday! He helped relieve some of the pain via acupuncture on the first visit.. maybe by about 20-30%. Two more visits later, almost all the pain was gone. But the difference between my Kaiser doctor and Jack is that he really stressed the importance of eating a healthy gout diet (he printed out foods I should and shouldn't eat) and drink a lot of water. He highly recommended that I read the book "Your not Sick, You're Thirsty" by Dr. Batmanghelidj. I read it (and you should too). Damn good read. Since then, I've quit coffee/caffeine because it's a diuretic and drink a lot of water. I now have way more energy than when I drank two cups of coffee a day. Jack also got me on a low carb, low sugar diet and I've lost 10 pounds. I don't feel the need to eat as much as before. I supplement my diet with pharmaceutical grade vitamins and minerals Jack recommends. I definitely feel my stress level has decreased... not so angry while driving in the city and I sleep better than before. I was struggling with my physically demanding work in 2015, but I can confidently say, 2016 is looking just fine. Gout pain is a bitch, but it was worth getting it to meet Jack who helped change my life for the better. Thank you Jack. read more

I found it deeply healing and relaxing. read more

I took my 14 year old son to see Jack after visting mutliple physicians for a neck injury that was not improving. Prior to seeing Jack my son had been unable to turn his head for 5 days due to an injury called "torticollis" which means twisted neck muscle. The physicians said he needed rest and he would recover in time, however, his immobility was so bad he could barely sit upright and had missed a week of school. He was having frequent muscle spasms which muscle relaxants did not touch. A colleague at work recommended Jack since she knew my son was not improving under the care of his physicians. I am a nurse by training so I was a bit skeptical about acupunture, but my son was willing to try anything for some relief. When I called Jack and told him about my son's condition, he arranged to see us within 45 minutes of the phone call. He did a really thorough evaluation and confirmed that the neck was very inflammed and spasming. After the first treatment my son had an immediate improvement in his range of motion and could actually turn his head more from side to side without having muscle spasms. I took him for a second treatment the next day and at the end of the treatment, he was able to completely rotate his head in all directions with no pain and no spasms. I would have been happy with pain relief and what we got was almost complete recovery in two treatments! I am a total convert. My son is playing Lacrosse again and barely remembers how bad he felt for an entire week. Jack is a remarkable practitioner. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I had that option! read more
