Bay Natural Medicine – Your Natural Health Partner in San Francisco

Thank you for visiting the natural medicine practice of Dr. Minna Yoon, N.D., L.Ac. Dr. Yoon is proud to be a naturopathic and acupuncture doctor at Bay Natural Medicine, providing natural health services to the greater San Francisco, California area. Having suffered from her own share of bothersome health complaints, including allergies, frequent headaches, and eczema, Dr. Yoon is familiar with the limitations of modern pharmaceuticals.

She realized that, while medications were able to provide temporary relief from an ailment, they were severely lacking in their ability to offer a long-term solution that not only alleviates symptoms but also reversed them. Through her own journey to health, she has come to understand how natural medicine— working alone or when combined with pharmaceuticals — can accomplish just that.

Dr. Yoon was my doctor for about 6 years and was phenomenal, and she still would be if I didn't just move out of state. She's such an amazing listener and I always felt understood and heard. Unlike a lot of doctors, she was always open to help me try different treatments or supplements that I felt might work, and was a wonderful guide in helping me find what worked for me. I truly felt like I had full control of my health options and never felt that she was telling me what to do or turning down my ideas. I initially went to her for help with my hypothyroidism and she worked very hard to help me find the right dosage of my medication, which can be very tricky with thyroid issues. I also have sleep troubles that vary wildly throughout the months/years but she made a lot of really helpful recommendations over the years to help with all my fluctuations. Best of all is that she really gets to know you and tries to understand how different factors in your life (outside of medication/supplements) can be contributing to your health or health troubles. For example, she noticed that I always seemed happier and healthier after being in nature, and always encouraged me to find the right environment for me as she could see that living in spaces devoid of nature were lowering my health. Truly an amazing and empathetic doctor, I'm so lucky to have gotten to place my trust in her care over the last 6 years and would highly recommend her to anyone, but especially to those who are tired of not feeling listened to by other medical professionals. Thank you Dr. Yoon, and to Grace for all her speedy replies and help!

I’ve seen various acupuncturists over many years, and Dr. Yoon is one of the best doctors I've ever been to. One of the first things that struck me was how attentive she is to all aspects of life (noticing my breathing, underlying emotions, food sensitivities, skin, sleep, etc). During my time working with her, she helped me uncover (underlying and previously ignored) health issues and helped me heal. Her ability to bridge Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western medical institutions is genuinely incredible. She supported me in navigating medical ambiguity and was able to read my labs and doctors' notes, and provide a safe space for healing. She also has a breadth of knowledge about subtle lifestyle changes to support your body without restriction. Now that I have moved out to San Francisco, I miss her daily!

Dr. Yoon is a gifted and empathic practitioner. She patiently navigated me through a condition that I was told would not be treatable. She has taught me how to care for myself and I'm much healthier now than before I had this condition in the first place. I'm forever grateful that I found Bay Natural Medicine.

Minna has been great, improving my bone density through careful monitoring and optimizing of hormone supplementation. And now she's found ways to mitigate my post Covid health challenges. Effective and such a relief. Kaiser says they can do nothing but treat the symptoms some.

I left my visit with Minna feeling like she really listened to me and cared about what I was going through. She took the time to talk to me. I never felt rushed. I felt super hopeful after our visit.

Both my mother and I have been going to Dr. Yoon for our naturalistic health needs for the past two years. She creates plans to work with existing insurance and traditional medical doctors. Her focus is on improving lifestyle and long term health. That said it's a team effort. Her service wouldn't be successful if I did not do my part. She's worth the cost and time. I've recommended her with other peers, who have been seen by her too with positive feedback.

I had an initial visit with Dr. Yoon last week. In the time that I sat with her she was able to do something other doctors have not for my whole life; listen and care. Her knowledge on all the symptoms I came in for was shocking, and her treatment and diagnostic techniques made me feel comfortable and hopeful. I look forward to the journey of healing with her. Truly grateful I found Dr. Yoon!
