Why Choose Dorothy Pang, L.Ac.?

Acupuncturist | Fertility & Pain Specialist | Laser Acupuncture for ADHD | South San Francisco, CA

Hi, I’m Dorothy Pang, a licensed acupuncturist who helps people feel better in their bodies—naturally, safely, and effectively.

Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, struggling with chronic pain, managing ADHD, or simply want to feel more energized and balanced, I’m here to help guide your body back to health. My approach is gentle but deeply effective, and always focused on long-term healing—not just short-term fixes.

Why I Chose Acupuncture

My journey into acupuncture began with two powerful realizations.

First, I watched a loved one suffer at the hands of modern medicine. My grandfather was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and while the doctors meant well, the aggressive, toxic treatments ended up harming him more than helping him. That experience left me with one clear belief: medicine should support the whole body, not damage it.

Second, I’ve always been fascinated by qi, the body’s natural energy. After years of practicing martial arts, I realized I didn’t have the ideal body type for that path—but I still wanted to work with qi. Acupuncture became my way to study and develop this life force in a way that helps others heal. Today, I continue that practice through my hands, my needles, and the trust of the people I serve.

Who I Work With

I love working with self-motivated fertility patients—people who want excellent care and are also willing to make everyday changes to improve their chances of conceiving. When patients are engaged and proactive, their results are often faster and more lasting.

I also find great joy in helping patients with pain management. The results can be immediate and visible—sometimes just one session brings meaningful relief. Seeing someone walk out of my clinic with less pain and more hope never gets old.

And last but not least, I truly enjoy working with children with ADHD, and  watching them experience laser acupuncture, which is non-scary and quite enjoyable.  I love hearing how their lives have changed through this gentle, quick and effective treatment.

What to Expect

First-time patients often tell me I’m a great listener, and that I explain things in a way that finally makes sense. I take time to understand not just your symptoms but the deeper imbalances that may be causing them. Unlike many medical professionals who rush appointments or speak in jargon, I aim to communicate clearly and compassionately.

My Healing Philosophy

I believe your body is wise—and that you have the power to direct it toward better health. Acupuncture can activate your body’s own healing abilities, and when paired with small but intentional changes in your lifestyle, the results can be life-changing.

I don’t just treat symptoms—I help restore function so you can thrive.

A Bit About Me

I’m a mother of three and a proud volunteer at my children’s schools. I grew up in a Chinese household as an American-born Chinese, which gives me a unique perspective on traditional Chinese medicine. I deeply understand its roots and meaning—and I know how to translate those concepts into practical, relatable care for my patients here in the U.S.
