We saw Brian for my son's sprained ankle and it was such a wonderful experience. It was my son's first time getting acupuncture so he was very nervous of all the needles, but we were in a desperate situation as we were leaving for a physically taxing missions trip in 2wks. Brian's fun stories eased my son's anxiety and he said he didn't feel any pain from the procedure. My son's ankle was completely healed after 4 sessions!! Brian was very thorough, kind and gentle and he is very knowledgeable! Highly recommend!! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Chang for over four years. He's helped heal my neck and knee pain and has been there for emotional and cosmetic concerns as well. It's reassuring to know I have a natural, risk-free alternative for whatever setbacks life brings. I'm a strong believer in the benefits of acupuncture and his expertise. read more

Dr. Chang is a very professional and knowledgeable practitioner of acupuncture. I feel confident giving him a 5 star review because he meets all the criteria in delivering an amazing experience. First, his office is very accommodating - even able to schedule same day appointments. Second, he is very personable and really takes a holistic approach to your healing. For example, he will align the healing regimen with your spiritual beliefs (even if not his own) to maximize its efficacy. Third and most important, he knows his stuff! After each session my pain is noticeably lessened (I go for a sports injury). Check out his website for an uber inspiring story. And check out his practice for an uber experience there and afterwards as he will speed up your healing for sure! read more

My rating is the 5 stars allowable multiplied multiple times over. He literally helped my come back from a horrific bicycle crash; took 2 1/2 years of mixed treatments and boy did he work hard with me and put in the time and effort that made the difference for me. Dr. Chang is AWESOME!!!!!!! A fabulous listener, has incredible bedside (table side) manner, has a very soft touch, he truly knows his craft and he truly cares about his patients. I first met Dr Chang at a local physical therapy office in Hoboken following a bicycle crash back in 2010. Being familiar with acupuncture I understood and was able to describe and partner in my treatment. He expanded my experience set with various types of treatments and principals from his extensive education. Dr Chang is a well educated man, surprisingly not just in his field of acupuncture, read his bio. He truly understands the stress of the job market and being in an office environment. Dr Chang as I said is very well versed and quick on his feet with sharing information and providing education to his patients. He also speaks English very well, actually I think Korean is his 2nd language; hence ease to speak with and understand. His office is immaculate, he is a stickler for cleanliness and rightly so. The challenge in my case as presented to Dr Chang was not just in treating the physical injuries including head, neck, back, and shoulder, but also the psychological impact of the crash; emotional treatments coupled on top of the physical injuries. For months I saw Dr Chang 2-3x a week then 2x and eventually 1x then a few times monthly to the point now where I'll back for maintenance or other unrelated reasons. Even my wife who was a non-believer and afraid of needles is a true believer and patient. Overall, he is so understanding, caring, and personable as is his spouse. My wife and I through my treatments actually become friends with Dr Chang outside the practice. He really means well and continues to amaze me when I present a different request to address. Acupuncture is not necessarily for everyone, at the very least give it a try and stay away from questionable "quacks". Acupuncture DOES WORK, you might be surprised. I am bike riding again and horsing around with my young nieces. I have also since moved on from the emotional impact of my crash mostly due to Dr Chang's efforts. Give him a try and you will be surprised. read more

I met Dr. Chang at the Hoboken Wellness Crawl back in April 2018. At that time, I had just started medical leave from work due to a severe concussion I got in the summer of 2017 from a nasty fall. The concussion caused temporary paralysis, TMJ, epilepsy, headaches, severe mood swings, sensitivity to light and noise, and difficulty focusing. I was seeing the best neurologists and specialists in New Jersey, and had been prescribed various medications, however, my symptoms were only getting worse. The week before meeting Dr. Chang, my dentist told me that seizures were leading to teeth clenching and I had fractured 2 teeth. I knew something was wrong because I would often say it hurt to talk (my jaw would get tired). When I was told I had TMJ, I saw a PT but with no results. When I met Brian on the Crawl, he did a quick reading and within seconds told me that I clenched. All I could think was woah how did he know?! I had tried acupuncture once before for headaches, but with no results. I thought to give Dr. Chang a try. I was getting desperate to find any relief for my numerous symptoms. After the first visit I stopped clenching immediately! 10 months after the fall and I had no clue how much I was clenching my jaw and the pain it caused. I was on a daily dose of 800 mg Duexis (ibuprofen and famotidine) to battle, or more accurately, hide pain. I stopped taking it that day. I continued to see Dr. Chang who helped with headaches and my ability to focus. When I returned to work, I was shocked at how much easier it was to think! I teach students with disabilities and an aide in my room even commented upon my return how great it was to have the old me back. I asked him to clarify and he said that before I went on medical leave, it would take me a while to answer questions and I seemed "out of it". I have no doubt in my mind that it was the acupuncture and treatment I got from Dr. Chang which caused the old me to return :) read more

I went to Dr. Chang when I first started trying to have a baby. I also decided to get treated for stress and tension. After only a few treatments, I was pregnant! I was clear headed after each session and felt extremely calm. Dr. Chang made me feel very comfortable as acupuncture was new to me. He went above and beyond to make me feel supported and is truly an expert in his field. You can tell he loves what he does and cares about his patients. I will be back for treatments during and after my pregnancy! read more

Dr. Brian Chang is my first and often last stop for medical issues. He has helped me tremendously with stress-related issues, chronic pain (neck, shoulder, jaw), and more acute issues such as colds and muscle sprains. Dr. Chang is a warm, caring listener who truly wishes the best for his patients and always gives you his full energy and attention. When I arrive at his office, I'm usually stressed and seeking treatment for multiple issues, and I always leave feeling well-rested and healed. I would be a different person without his care. For a type A person like me, acupuncture is essential. I started treating with him for neck and shoulder pain caused by a car accident, but I quickly took advantage of his ability to help me with other issues. As a bonus, the treatments for my neck and shoulders also curbed my seasonal allergies. I'd seen another acupuncturist before who was not good at all; with Dr. Chang, I always feel and see immediate results during the treatment. No treatment is the same because he's very attentive to my needs that day. We don't always use needles; I like to take advantage of other services he offers like cupping, gua sha, ear seeds, and oils. I like his general treatments to boost your immune system or give you more energy. On occasion, I take advantage of an emotional treatment to help me cope with major stressors. He's very responsive to questions and always willing to explain his treatment decisions. He'll even recommend foods to eat or avoid depending on your condition. read more

If anyone had ever recommended me to see an acupuncturist, I always thought there was no way I would ever try. I had surgery on my left shoulder and bicep then began physical therapy and continued physical therapy for 6 months. I still had chronic pain which limited my performance and affected my daily tasks. I couldn't lift my arm above my head or carry any amount of weight. Couldn't sleep well bc of the pain waking me up every night. My co-worker and my daughter told me to try acupuncture. I found Sports Acupuncture and Family Wellness and now it's my first destination for any health or medical issue. My friend told me to check out Dr. Chang and so I went in for a consultation and discussed my goals with him. After the first treatment the pain was down dramatically and the range of motion on my left frozen shoulder was miraculous! I could actually lift my arm above my head which didn't happen after the months of physical therapy. I was elated! Dr. Chang has a Doctorate degree in acupuncture and graduated from Columbia University! He's truly amazing! He explained everything and is very patient! He treated my shoulder and arm with neurological acupuncture and also directly on the muscles of the arm. Then put points in my leg which made my arm move freely! Was mind boggling! Acupuncture has now become a regular part of my life. They also do Family Wellness which means they treat me when I have a cold or if I'm just stressed out or anxious. The cold treatment was amazing! Nipped it in the bud! Dr. Chang is a skilled passionate professional doctor! Great bedside manners! The office is serene and the rooms are very calming and quiet! The staff is also great! Welcoming and friendly! Upon leaving each treatment, it felt like I came out of a meditative trance and felt balanced and grounded like a Spa day! LOL I highly recommend you give acupuncture and Dr. Chang a chance, I'm sure you will benefit like I did. read more

Not only does Dr. Chang bring warmth to his patients, he takes the time to truly understand the issue(s) and explains, in great detail, how to appropriately treat the issue. I saw Dr. Chang for the first time a few days ago and left his office feeling a sense of peace and complete relaxation. My visit was the first time receiving acupuncture and Dr. Chang throughly explained each step and continuously inquired about my comfort level. My entire experience was superb, from the moment of arriving in the office and seeing Dr. Chang himself cleaning and sanitizing surfaces, to the complimentary bottle water, to the treatment. Dr. Chang is an encyclopedia of information regarding the human body, traditional Chinese medicine, and holistic approaches. I enjoyed the conversation just as much as the treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Chang for any of your acupuncture needs. read more

So I obtained bunion surgery 2.5 weeks ago. The stitches are out but the pin is still in and sticks out of my skin. The pain from putting the boot on and it pushing the pin constantly into my skin had me walking around in just an ace bandage. I started physical therapy, pure pain, on Monday. Then I decided to see Dr Chang later that day for acu and heat therapy solely on my foot. As a result, about fifteen minutes after the session I DID NOT AT ALL feel the pin in my boot. Figured it was a fluke and walked to the car without my cane... No problem for the first time. I felt like I could run! But I didn't clearly. It's not Wednesday and the pain is still unavailable; just in time for physical therapy. Thanks Brian! read more

After my first visit with Dr. Chang, I knew he was the doctor I had been seeking. I had previously tried Acupuncture but felt that the complaints regarding my aliments were being ignored. I went to see Dr. Chang for anxiety and stress issues. With the first acupuncture treatment, I felt a hundred pounds lighter. Dr. Chang is a warm, kind, compassionate and knowledgeable professional. He treats the person's mind, body and spirit. He is truly God sent. read more

I moved to Hoboken a few years ago and was in search for a solid Acupuncturist. I cold-called Dr. Chang's office and to my surprise, he answered and spent about 15 minutes explaining his story, background and his process of healing and restoring. During a session, he is very thorough and takes his time to walk you through the details of your treatment. I've had over ten treatments, and each one has been just a little different to cater to my trouble area (stress, pain, or relaxation). He is very pleasant and responds very quickly for an appointment via phone or email. Highly recommend. read more

I was visiting Dr.Chang for my Neck, back and jaw pains for 6-7 months. He helped me to tremendously improve most of my symptoms to the level where I can hardly notice any pain. He is very friendly and very knowledgeable. He can fix the digestive issues in just 1-2 sessions. I am missing being treated by him as I had to move out of the city for my new job. I highly recommend Dr.Chang ! read more

Dr Chang is one of those rare doctors that truly cares about his patients and takes the time to understand the issue and how to best treat it. I have been a patient for 2 years and worked on a few issues with Dr Chang, but one of the most life changing was his treatments for my allergies. I had suffered allergies for 20 years and had to take medication every day. 2 years ago the medication stopped working and I was miserable. After 3-4 treatments, the symptoms improved and after 6-8 treatments, the allergies were gone. I no longer need to take medication. Occasionally, I have a flare up but with a few treatments it goes away. I continue to be amazed with Dr Chang's knowledge about the body and how to treat it using accupuncture. And the cherry on top is that he is just a really good guy. I highly recommend Dr. Chang. read more

I've been seeing Dr Chang for the last 2 months. He has helped me reduce my stress levels tremendously. I walked into my first appointment burned out and overwhelmed by my current job. I felt exhausted, emotional and irrational. Dr Chang helped to ground me - his knowledge, support and treatments helped get my mental and physical health back to a positive state. Love Dr Chang! read more

I have been coming here for about a year and a half and Dr. Chang is the best acupuncturist! Not only is he super nice, he explains everything in an easy-understand manner. His treatments do work. I broke my ankle last year and went to Dr. Chang for the first time and within 2 months I ran a 5k. The office is convenient to Downtown Hoboken and is a nice respite in a busy day. Even if you just need a mental reset, or a bolt of energy, Dr. Chang can help you. If you have any sort of health issues, even seasonal allergies, or any sort of pain, I highly recommend Dr. Chang at Sports Acupuncture and Family Wellness. read more

acupuncture is magic! After 4 days into the new year I was diagnosed with a mild case of Bell's palsy. I was unable to close my left eye and was unable to smile or move the left side of my face. As skeptical as I was I went to see Dr, chang right after my diagnoses and to my surprise I was fully recovered in 3 weeks. I repeat 3 weeks! That's how amazing Dr. chang is. My whole experience was superb. The office was serene from the moment you walk in and super clean which is a big plus. I was treated with professionalism and loved how friendly and warm Dr. Chang was from the start. He took the time to listen to my problems and was more than attentive then I thought he would be. He even spared some time to listen to my sister who was not even a patient of his and remembered her weeks later. Usually doctors don't even remember your problems let alone your name but he did. Overall, loved, loved, loved my experience! I cannot thank Dr. Chang enough for treating me. I have heard of people recovering months after their treatment and here I was fully smiling again after only 4 treatments. I will be coming to office again and I would recommend This place to everyone. read more

Dr. Chang is a fantastic acupuncturist! I'm a prenatal patient, and we're hoping to lure our baby girl out with a few varying induction acupuncture and acupressure techniques. Either way, I always leave his office feeling more relaxed, calm and rested. Dr. Chang is super knowledgeable and always recommends relevant reading material as well. Thanks for the zen, Dr. Chang! :) read more

Dr. Chang is by far the best acupuncturist and health care professional I have ever met. He has helped me not only in the office, but outside the office. He TRULY CARES ABOUT YOU. He needs a huge testimonial for his outstanding personality and knowledge. Thank you Dr. Chang!!!!!! read more

Here's the scoop on acupuncture from my personal experience... it totally works. I think it works for some and it doesn't for others but for me, it's so great for stress, my lower back pain and the dreaded allergies!!!! I have a VERY high stress job and getting treated twice a week keeps me sane and it helps me sleep like a baby. The dreaded needles: I hate needles, always have and always will. But, when I finally decided to take the leap and try out acupuncture, it wasn't that bad. I was desperate bc my allergies were terrible a few years ago so I found someone in NYC and it worked! But consistency is key. Who to go see: Here's the thing... there are so many acupuncturists out there. I've tried a few. Some have been pretty good but either their place was just disgusting or their location wasn't convenient for me to go on a regular basis. Then I found Dr. Chang in Hoboken. He's awesome! Classically trained from an 88th generation Daoist priest, which is kinda cool. Apparently, acupuncturists are trained differently. Most are traditional acupuncturists and very few are classically trained, which unfortunately is a dying breed. I don't know the details behind the technique and why classical acupuncture is dying but all I know is from all the ones I've tried, Dr. Chang is great. He's got that healing gift. The office space: His office is right by the path! AWESOME. It's really clean, peaceful and serene, he's really nice and very thoughtful. Listens well and attentive to detail, which I like. And he's ok that I hate needles so he'll take his time when I freak out sometimes. Again, I do this because it works. hahaha Negatives: Sometimes he talks a bit much and a bit disorganized but I don't care. He makes me feel better. LOL If you're looking for an acupuncturist or don't know what it is but curious.. check him out. Actually, check out other acupuncturists first and then go to him. Yes, he's that good. read more

Dr. Chang has changed my life in such a great way. I have been asthmatic my whole life; constant hospital visits, change of medication and I never was able to manage nor outgrow the irritability in my breathing. After a few visits with Dr. Chang, I instantly saw a change and reaching for my inhaler was no longer a need. His essential oil program has helped me managed my asthma and now I can run 3 miles without having to gasp for air. I highly recommend him, his knowledge and background has also helped me with a clean eating nutrition plan aiding with vitamin supplements. read more

I saw someone else mention his interest in getting insurance payments. This resonated with me b/c I had a similar issue. He was always billing my insurance for the most he could get out of them (the charges were the highest I've ever seen billed by acupuncturists), even sometimes for visits which I had canceled days in advance. Is that even legal? I any case, thought I would share b/c that rubbed me the wrong way. read more

Dr. Chang is a miracle worker. I decided to try acupuncture for the first time and boy do I wish I tried it earlier! He is very knowledgeable and intellectual and made me feel confident and comfortable right away. With a toddler at home and day job working at the computer all day, my hands were throbbing and inflamed and it then trickled down to the lower back. After just one acupuncture session, the pain was gone the next day. It was also a nice stress reliever - wonderful smelling essential oils and music to help de-stress during the treatment. He also gave some great advice and I am now an avid believer in dead sea salt baths and essential oils. Thank you Dr. Chang! read more

Over the past year I've suffered with terrible eczema mainly over my hands + fingers. I saw 2 different dermatologists as well as an allergist with no answers or relief. I tried multiple prescription and OTC ointments but was never able to get it under control. I am a nurse and am constantly washing my hands or using hand sanitizer which made the eczema always inflamed. My hands were often raw + painful. They would ooze, crack and bleed. All while being extremely itchy. I was desperate for a treatment and decided to try acupuncture. My first appointment with Dr Chang was amazing. He spent an hour just speaking with me and assessing my needs before we even started the acupuncture. He was attentive and caring. He explained his process and made me feel very comfortable throughout the treatment. After the first session I started to see a noticeable difference in the eczema. 3 sessions later 90% of the eczema was clear on both hands. All the symptoms were almost gone entirely. I will continue to see Dr Chang on a weekly basis for my eczema as well any other health issues that come up. read more

I have had problem for a while with my plantar fasciitis that seems to flare up every now and then. With the amount of soccer I have been playing lately it was no surprise that I needed to find some relief to keep going. My wife started to going Dr Chang and I figured I would give it a try. Right away after the first treatment I went from having to walk in pain to walking normal again. I still go to Dr Chang since he has helped me out with a few other things and the constant pain or soreness I get from playing at my old age of 41. I am really glad that I can go to him for some ease and comfort that he knows what he is doing. read more

I went to Dr Chang for my induction acupuncture and my experience was fantastic compared to the induction acupuncture I got from a different acupuncturist ... I felt the energy flowing and baby moving and little cramps here and there .. moreover his method was completely different from the other acupuncturist .. more thorough and researched .. he explained me the purpose of each and every acupuncture point ... apart from this he gave some Chinese heat treatment that relaxed me completely and he also prepared me psychologically for the natural birth ... he is a great human being and an excellent acupuncturist... worth every penny .. read more

Wow, where do I start? After almost a year of failed physical therapy that only made my back pain and spasms worse, I went to Dr. Chang as a last resort. The physical therapy made me lose neck and back mobility and was a complete waste of time and money. I decided I wanted to try another route to fix my problem when I noticed that all the physical therapists were using tools and needles acupuncturists use. I found out about Dr. Chang through Yelp and immediately set up an appointment after reading through his really great reviews. When I first saw Dr. Chang I was in lot of physical and emotional pain from all the back problems I was dealing with for over a year from a workout injury. During our consultation he was very kind and attentive while listening to my whole story. I honestly think he's a miracle worker. He's helped me not only physically, but mentally and spiritually. He's helped me recover from a progressed injury that lasted over a year in a few sessions. Give the healing process some time and go to a few appointments to really see great results. He has a bunch of methods for recovery at his disposal and it's just a matter of seeing what your body needs to heal optimally. If you're scared of the needles, don't be. It's not that bad and I actually think the needles are kind of cool lol. He's also introduced me to doing dead sea salt baths and it's really great for relaxing muscle soreness. I was wrong for judging acupuncture and I have so much respect for this natural medicine because of Dr. Chang. I'm so thankful for his help and please see him if you're having back problems! read more

Excellent, knowledgable and thorough. I highly recommend Brian. He helped me with terrible foot pain (I could barely put pressure on it to walk) and the emotional release treatments are awesome. (five stars!) read more

I couldn't ask for a more patient and compassionate doctor for someone who is absolutely terrified of needles. I was on disability for issues related to chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, and Dr. Chang helped me get back to work! He always fits me into his schedule when I need to come. He even does a treatment that instantly makes my swollen glands go down... read more

Hi my name is Dee, I'm from Chicago, Illinois, I met Dr. Chang while visiting my sister and brother-in-law in New Jersey. I decided to go with them on a visit for their appointments. Little did I know I would also be seen that day by Dr. Chang. First, I must say one word describes my results. MIRACLE. While treating my sister she asked him did he work with patients that had a torn meniscus? Yes was his response thinking she needed treatment on her knee. She proceeded to inform him that it was her sister. He told her I will take a look at her and help her with the knee problem. To make a long story short, he asked a few questions about my injury and my level of pain. He explained how acupuncture technique works and how he would address my pain . My pain at the time was at a level of 5 on a scale from 1-10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being intolerable. However during the night hours is when I experience my highest level of pain ranging from 10 and no lower than 5. I have been going to physical therapy for 3 months. I have had two injections within one year to help with pain management. Doctors suggest surgery as a final solution with only a guarantee to develop arthritis. Within 5 minutes Dr. Chang began acupuncture and I began walking up and down a flight of stairs in the hallway of his office miraculously experiencing zero pain. This is when I knew my prayers were answered. Not only has my pain level decreased after day three I am still pain free only experiencing light discomfort at night. Dr. Chang not only helped me physically, also his office presents an aroma therapeutic clean smelling atmosphere. When you walk in Its very calming with soothing music. My only regret is that I can't see him regularly because I live so far away. I asked him please come to Chicago. I highly recommend Dr. Chang, he has a wonderful staff and genuine compassion for his patients, making sure they are satisfied and healed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Chang. ~Dee~ read more

After my partner and I did extensive research, we decided to get try our first acupuncture experience with Dr. Chang. One of our best decisions ever. After a skiing accident nearly 3 years ago, I woke up with neck pains every single day. Today was my first treatment and I already feel so much better, I'm able to move my neck towards my shoulder and it's not pinching! Aside from the magic he does, he's a really nice, laid back person who not only tries to help but tries to connect with you and understand your needs. read more

Dr. Chang is wonderful and I highly recommend him to anyone. I was a bit nervous to try acupuncture (and honestly a bit skeptical!). He walked me through the whole process and has a very comfortable and pleasant approach which is helpful. After the first procedure, I was hooked and have been going frequently ever since. The reason I went to Dr. Chang is a long time issue with teeth grinding - he addressed that but the acupuncture also made me sleep better and helped me feel less stressed (despite planning a wedding and facing a busy time at work!). He's awesome, bottom line. If you are thinking about trying acupuncture, go to Dr. Chang! You won't regret it. read more

I actually called Sports Acupuncture & Family Wellness seeking a Chinese medication for my dog who was recently diagnosed with cancer (I'm considering all options to help her). I knew it was a long shot as this place is for humans, but with nothing to lose, I called anyhow. Left a voicemail explaining what I was looking for. A day later I received a phone call from Dr. Chang, who unfortunately would not be able to supply what I was looking for, but instead he gave me some very useful names and places I could go to to help my dog (he has 2 dogs himself so clearly understood how important our pets are)! He also provided some helpful info on holistic treatment for her which I greatly appreciated. Needless to say, I would never expect such kindness from a complete stranger. I've never stepped foot into this place, yet Dr. Chang took the time to call and give me valuable information for my pet. He is clearly a compassionate person. In general I got the sense that he is a very responsible doctor with integrity which is not easy to find these days. If I ever seek out acupuncture or holistic therapies I will definitely be going here. read more

It was my first time having an acupuncture treatment. Dr. Chang put me at ease, examined me and immediately knew several things about my medical condition that I didn't tell him. I also saw immediate good results in my neck and shoulders. If I had to summarize, I'd say he's safe, very knowledgeable and has a sincere desire to free people from pain. Very worthwhile. read more

Per the recommendation of one of our employees, I sought out treatment with Sports Acupuncture & Family Wellness. Pros: - Dr. Chang responded quickly to online outreach - The insurance coverage was investigated and communicated clearly - The initial consultation was thorough, not rushed, and felt like I was heard - Expectations were set that were realistic and not over-promising - Being the first time doing acupuncture, Dr. Chang explained the process, checked in frequently and adjusted as needed - Dr. Chang is easy to connect with and has a good bedside demeanor - Best part is that the pain level has gone from a 6 (on a 10 scale) to about a 2-3 Cons: - 5 appointments in and none at this point read more

Dr. Chang helped me with my sciatic nerve pain from a herniated disk. I now know going to acupuncture is an option instead of a cortical steroid epidural. He is very knowledgeable in this healing art and works to your personality. I liked to have conversations sometimes and other times just enjoyed the therapy session a bit quieter. I would like to recommend him to the Yelp community. read more

I came to Dr. Chang after being in a fairly serious car accident, suffering from whiplash and a concussion. He took me in, treated me (suggested I come in 3x/week) and manipulated/took advantage of my fragile mind/body in a time of great vulnerability. Dr. Chang called my personal cell phone 1-2x/week when there was pushback from the car insurance for coverage, desperate to be paid. Instead of being patient and waiting to be rightfully paid through the car insurance claim, he needed the payout *immediately*. His impatience for being paid and need for personal gain casts a great shadow over his potential knowledge of eastern medicine. In addition, his office is not nearly as welcoming as that of other acupuncturists' offices - it is hardly a place to relax. There are other acupuncturists in Hoboken, and I strongly suggest you take the time to find one that suits you, and seek medical care there. read more

After reading all of the reviews I visited Dr Chang. The session started off nicely - very informative. Downhill from there. The walls are so thin - I could hear the session next door as if it was the same room. Not relaxing at all. When the session was over, he started giving me religiously charged advice. Da fuq? And then he threw in some cupping which was way too agressively done and I couldn't turn my head for a week afterward. It's been several months since my appointment and I frankly couldn't even write about it until now. Buyer beware! read more

I have been having major back issues since January and have done absolutely everything to try to fix it. Finally someone recommended Dr. Chang, and literally the FIRST time he worked on my back was the first time I could bend down in 5 months. He's absolutely awesome! He's incredibly professional and he always manages to help me with whatever is ailing me that week. I definitely recommend him! He's amazing! read more

Where do I begin...Dr. Chang is the gold standard of patient care and bedside manner. I began seeing Dr. Chang a few weeks ago for general stress relief/relaxation to assist with fertility. I hadn't attempted acupuncture prior to seeing Dr. Chang, and from the moment I walked into his office, I felt completely at ease. My very first appointment began at 5:30pm, and I did not walk out of the office until 8pm - he truly makes you feel like you are the only patient in the office, and sits with you to understand your areas of concern and the things you hope to gain from treatment. He also recommended a few supplements to begin taking, and wrote down the names of several books that he thought I would benefit from reading. Quite honestly, I felt like the appointment was so much more than "acupuncture" - it was so spiritually therapeutic, that it also felt like a mini therapy session! Not only is Dr. Chang such a great listener, but he also provides truly sound and actionable advice. Just after my first appointment with Dr. Chang, I discovered that I have a complex cyst on one of my ovaries (which had been causing me persistent pain for quite a few months), in addition to finding out that my thyroid had become underactive. When I informed Dr. Chang, he went straight into action mode and tailored my acupuncture treatment to help with these issues. I'm thrilled to report that since beginning treatment, my pain level has become so minimal that I can barely feel the cyst any longer! Likewise, my energy levels have certainly improved and I generally feel more relaxed and less anxious. I truly can't say enough great things about Dr. Chang...he's simply a wonderful human being. read more
