KUNDE – Tibetan Wellness & Healing Center

In the last few months Dr Kalzang has done a remarkable job in substantially reducing the pain in my arthritic knees through acupuncture and hot oil treatment. She also recommended a holistic approach like hot water therapy & massage oil to compliment the treatment. I also appreciate it that she takes time to listen to my concerns.

Umm– wow, just wow. First relief I’ve had for my (very) chronic migraines/​headaches, and I have tried a number of things. She is super helpful to talk to about health concerns. Will be coming here regularly. A find!
I discovered her because she accepts my insurance. (Always check with a medical office beforehand because many places that once accepted insurance no longer do, and insurance companies just don’t always remove their names from the list even with multiple requests.) Bring a checkbook or cash.
I never realized these medical offices were hidden up here (3^rd floor), so close to my cobbler (shoe repair) and tailor, and all the other stores…

Dr. Yangdron is a healer!
After trying everything I finally made it to Doctor Yangdron Kalzang for my lower back pains.
Most importantly it didn’t hurt at all…
She is genuinely enthusiastic and committed in helping her patients. She really cares.
It was explained in my consultation that treatments and recovery typically don’t happen overnight, so don’t expect results in one day but within a couple.
She is quite skilled with herbs, and will write an individualized prescription, giving you herbs that she has blended according to your individual needs. Her assistants do acupressure massage and cupping, according to what your condition calls for.
Trust her for acute cases and for preventative care, like immunity boosting. She knows her stuff and cares deeply about helping her clients. I am also trusting my mother’s health to her hands and knowledge. She has after stroke complications with her shoulder.
I really liked Dr. Yangdron as a person as well as a doctor.
Thank you Yangdron

Dr. Kalzang is an amazing acupuncturist ! She made my first Accupuncture experience a well worthy one. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis by two licensed podiatrist. The doctors made me foot soles and gave me several cortisone shots. I was seeing them for about 2 years at $ 25 a visit. The results were very minimal and got costly. So I’ve met Dr. Kalzang through a co– worker about 2 months ago. After the first session, I noticed a huge difference in pain level every morning. I no longer wear my foot orthotics and get up every morning with close to no pain. I’m so glad I’ve met Dr. Kalzang; nowadays I can play basketball, run, and walk pain free ! I see her every other week now and she is so flexible with scheduling. I never believed in alternative medication and treatment until I met Dr. Kalzang. I highly recommend her to anybody I know or don’t know, you will be very pleased ;just like me !
Thank you Dr. Kalzang !

Yangdron is the best acupuncturist you can find! I have been seeing her for various issues — and she always helps me.
It doesn’t hurt that she is one of the nicest people I have ever met.
Yangdron, you are the best!!!

My goodness it is almost impossible to put into words what Dr. Kalzang represents. However, as God begins to fill my heart the very first thing that comes to mind is caring. Dr. Kalzang is the epitome of what all doctors should be and she put the C in caring. Her strong sense of caring is unprecedented and unmatched. An example of this innate quality was when I first came to Dr. Kalzang my beloved cat Mercedes had just recently been diagnosed with cancer and during my treatment she asked me several questions about what it was my cat was having trouble with and I mentioned to her about her anemia due to blood loss in the abdomen amongst other things and she right away offered to make some herbs for her in order to stop the bleeding and had them prepared so I could take them with me at the end of my session. How thoughtful and I was just so touched by her kindness and generosity. Not to mention her skill. I was sent to Dr. Kalzang specifically for treatment for my lower back and neck, but I had a number of problems which included my knee and my Achilles. And during one of my treatments she noticed my feet were having problems and deemed it as a circulatory issue and plantar fasciitis explaining to me the entire process of what it is that she saw that made her arrive at that conclusion. She is extremely knowledgeable and consistently walks you through the process of what it is she is doing which gives you that sense of comfort. And her diagnosis was confirmed when I went back to my Orthopedist they did an X-​ray and come to find out they said I had plantar fasciitis as well. Also my Achilles which were so painful you could not even touch them and again were not on the doctor’s orders for treatment, but Dr. Kalzang began to work on them. Her acupuncture treatment along with her suggestion that I soak my feet every day which I did for 20 minutes in my home remedy of Epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda and then oiled them down with her famous Tibetan Wellness Massage Oil was slowly working. Then just this past week after my treatment my Achilles are healed Dr. Kalzang was able to touch my Achilles and to apply pressure having given me an example by showing her ability to rotate my feet of just how much pressure she was applying to them it is a miracle. My Achilles tendons as she described to me are now more flexible and are no longer tight and the inflammation has disappeared. I no longer have to wear ankle braces or use my Cho pat straps to protect my Achilles they are healed. Dr. Kalzang is my Acupuncture Guru and she is very patient and extremely understanding. She just not only listens to your problem, but she hears it. If you are looking for an Acupuncturist only then keep searching, but if you want the Total Package a Caring, Knowledgeable, Professional Acupuncturist, Herbalist, and Healer who is extremely honest and so gentle you don’t even feel the needles either going in or coming out & that will go above and beyond the call of duty and truly seeks to enhance the quality of your life then look no further. I highly recommend Dr. Kalzang for her expertise and her strong sense of caring for humanity.

I went to see Dr Kalzang few weeks ago for tendinitis on both of my wrists. I couldn’t bend or move my hands without pain. After two treatments, the swelling and pain have significantly decreased. I’m on my fifth treatment and the pain on my wrists is almost gone. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kalzang for helping me. She is wonderful!

Dr. Kalzang is amazing. I came to her because I can’t lift my left arm. First time treatment, I can raise my left arm. After the second treatment, I can go to gym again and do my routine. She is the best acupuncturist that I ever known, very caring doctor and listen to your problem. And she has a nice smile too.

I moved down to the SouthBay so I stopped coming up to TWHC for about a year. My heartburn issue got a lot worse – to the point where I started taking PPIs. They’re pretty strong and have a weird effect on my digestive system that I don’t like. So I started making the trek up to Daly City once a month for treatment at TWHC. Symptoms have subsided again and I’m feeling healthy. Genuinely healthy. I don’t know how or why, but her prescribed combination of medicinal herbs and stress reduction therapy has really improved my well being. I wish that Dr. Kalzang’s clinic could be located closer to me!

She is great — very gentle with the needles — if necessary. Takes her time with clients, really listens. A great practitioner. I would highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Kalzang is an excellent doctor of Tibetan medicine and acupuncturist. She helped me with my problems with pain and headaches without all the chemicals that traditional western doctors prescribe. I started to feel so much better that I could even stop medications all together. I really recommend her to those who do not want to be popping pills all day long.

I deal with a lot of pain due to chronic disease. Yangdron has helped manage my pain. It’s hard to find an acupuncturist that works for me & she had help me a whole lot.

Ever take a sip of a cocktail on a night on the town, and find the sweat dripping down the middle of your back and pooling on your waistband while your body registers 110 degrees and you realize it’s a «hot flash» and I mean HOT. Well coming off estrogen, I decided I couldn’t live «a la natural» so I went to see Dr Yangdron Kalzang who right away got me on the table, gently inserted her needles, and gave me some herbs and tea to drink at night. Immediately the flashes diminished and I had one or maybe two flashes a day after only one treatment. I saw her again yesterday, my second treatment in two weeks, and have had only one flash in three days. Aah, relief.
Now i decided to lower my cholesterol and will continue to see her until that is lower, and I will be perfectly healthy thanks to Dr. Yangdron who is very down to earth, smart, gentle and dedicated to wellness and peace in the world. Thank you Dr. Yangdrong!

Dr Kalsang is wonderful. I took medications for bipolar disorder for 15 years, but now see her for acupuncture and herbal supplements and feel healthier and happier than ever. She is caring and compassionate, skilled in Eastern medicine, listens to my concerns and has been 100% helpful!

Western medical science is beginning to reach the conclusion that the health of the body and mind are inextricably linked.
For example, Elizabeth Blackburn at USCF won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2009 for her work on telomeres, structures at the end of DNA strands. Telomeres are like the tips of shoelaces — when they decay, the DNA sequence becomes similarly frayed. This apparently produces aging effects in cells.
Dr. Blackburn has been studying the effects of psychological effects of stress on telomeres and accordingly on cell health. Her findings suggest that mental well being may have profound effects on human health.
Dr. Yangdron’s expertise is in a branch of medicine that has recognized this connection for a very long time.
Based on that expertise, she treats the whole individual. Her treatments include massage, acupuncture, and even meditation classes for those interested.
Her approach is utterly refreshing — when you walk into your office, you’re family. She cares deeply about your health and well being, and will do everything she can to help you get better. She successfully treated me for back pain; others here on Unilocal can attest to other positive outcomes.
The meditation classes are particularly useful. Classes are taught by highly trained practitioners with decades of experience, and are a nice introduction to these very old practices that have led many to a new outlook on life.

I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea in 2009. After taking traditional Tibetan medicine prescribed by Dr. Yangdron Kalzang, in a matter of days I am free of sleep apnea symptoms. For me, traditional Tibetan medicine is the best treatment for my sleep apnea; much better than using an air pump with a mask over my face!
Dr. Kalzang also used acupuncture, herbal oil and heat massage to treat my knee, which was sore months after an invasive surgery by an orthopedic surgeon. My knee feels much better after receiving treatment from Dr. Kalzaang. She is a very accurate and gifted healer, and we are fortunate for her presence in the United States.

Dr. Yangdron Kalzang is a gifted healer. I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for her professional expertise in Tibetan medical procedures, acupuncture, and Tibetan herbal care. The recent illness that I experienced was both physically and emotionally stressful. While my allopathic physician was unable to diagnosis or treat my severe dermatological condition, Dr. Kalzang’s Tibetan medicine and acupuncture treatments were able to transform the bleakness of my condition and enabled a positive outcome.
Dr. Kalzang is a living embodiment of compassionate and competent healing skills. She has been a bright light for me when I was facing a dark and troublesome time.

Meditation, acupuncture, massage and Tibetan medicine are offered by Yangdron Kalzang, who is a doctor of Tibetan Medicine as well as a licensed acupuncturist. She is a very kind, knowledgeable and healing professional. Monthly meditations on Thursday evenings, also add to the overall well-​being of the patient.

During the first trimester of my pregnancy, I was plagued with chronic headaches, tension in my neck and shoulders, and severe constipation. My OB advised me to take over-​the-​counter pain pills and other synthetic medicines for relief. I felt uncomfortable taking chances with my baby’s well being (it was suggested I ingest a concoction of pills every 4 – 6 hours 7 days a week for what could be months – yikes!) I began looking for a natural and holistic remedy. A prenatal masseuse recommended Dr. Kalzang.
Dr. Kalzang quickly became one of my important caregivers throughout my pregnancy. In addition to the care I received from my OB, Dr. Kalzang provided the holistic remedies I could trust. Luckily, I began seeing her in the early months. As my pregnancy progressed, so did the pain and discomfort throughout my body. Dr. Kalzang was able to provide continued trust-​worthy relief for my pregnant aches and pains with dietary modification recommendations, massage, and acupuncture. She even provided me with massage oil my husband and I used to ease the pains during labor! I definitely recommend Dr. Kalzang’s healing therapies for anyone woman who is pregnant and who plans to become pregnant.

Dr. Kalzang is an excellent Tibetan doctor!
She has been treating me for multiple health issues and I have obtained relief for all of them, including the low back pain associated with three crushed discs. In fact, I went to see her because I was having a severe flare, and I was totally out of pain within a month. If this sounds unimpressive, know that this problem has left me unable to walk several times… so this was a big deal!
And importantly, she treats the patient as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms and syndromes. We have used Tibetan herbal medicine, acupuncture, hot oil massage and dietary prescriptions in treating my chronic illnesses. This makes treatment much more synergistic and effective.
I am trained in Western medicine and I would not hesitate to refer any patient to Dr. Kalzang.
