My friend and I have been clients of Dr. Chang for about 3 months now. I have severe scoliosis, and my friend has a seizure disorder which causes her to pass out and sometimes convulse (no western doctor has been able to diagnose her issue other than saying it isn't epilepsy). Dr. Chang has been able to help us both profoundly in a short time. My friend - who used to have multiple seizures in a single day - can now go for weeks without a seizure. My chronic back pain from scoliosis is much lessened. If you have intractable pain or other issues, please consider seeing Dr. Chang. He has a wonderful manner and is very skilled. His background in both eastern and western medicine gives him a broad perspective and therapeutic approach. He will help you. Very highly recommend. ~Jon Sitzman (2018 via FB)
I can't thank Dr. Chang enough for his services. I am a professional football player and I tore my acl last year, 2017. Post recovery from surgery I was dealing with bad patella tendonitis in my surgerically repaired knee and it was limiting me from a lot of certain workouts and moves. I lost a ton of explosion, speed, stability, and flexibility due to this patella tendonitis pain. I came to Nashville, August 2018, to compete in camp with the Tennesee Titans and came across Dr. Chang on Yelp, when looking for an acupuncturist in the area. After my first session with Dr. Chang i felt a dramatic difference in my patella and was able to compete at a high level in our first preseason game two days later. I returned to Dr. Chang the following week for another session before our second preseason game and I performed and felt even better during that next game. I was overly satisfied with the work Dr. Chang did for me as I had been trying to recover from my knee tendonitis for about 4 months prior and could not find a solution, even after trying numerous treatments and rehab programs to help cure my pain. I am glad I came across Dr. Chang that day on Yelp and even happier that I am back to my pre-surgery self again, as I thought I might never be able to compete at such a high level again. His knowledge of the Chinese medicine is what makes him special, as I've tried many acupuncturist before him and none seemed to helped.~Brandon Chubb,football player,(2918 via FB)
I'm auditioning to look like Michael Phelps! Jk. After weeks and weeks of foot pain and wearing a boot and my orthopedist telling me it will get better with time, I contacted Dr. Chang Gungli at Sandalwood Accupuncture and Chinese medicine (also the father of one of Jason's buddies) and he performed three treatments on me: accupuncture, sliding cup, and cupping. It looks nasty, but you wouldn't believe how much it helped my foot!!! I had gotten to the point where it hurt so much to walk and stand that by the end of the day I dreaded getting up from the table to walk to the dishwasher because I was in so much pain. And I wouldn't go upstairs to say good night to my kids because walking up the wooden stairs was excruciating. After one treatment I feel SO much better. It's not completely pain-free, but it's tolerable. And that is more than worth it. Plus I get to show off these awesome bruises to anyone who will look. Which is no one, because gross! So if you're considering a cupping treatment, I highly recommend it. It took the pressure off the tension on my tore ligament and actually, mostly, felt really good. ~Anne H. 2016via FB
I can not stress how talented Dr Chang is. More than once he worked on conditions that later two surgeons said "that's nothing short of a miracle". ~Reggie , Green Hill (2015via FB)
For the past five years, I've been dealing with muscle imbalance and dysfunction resulting from injury. The imbalance is L dominant / R weak and is through the whole body, but highly noticeable at the hip, shoulder, and neck. Dr. Chang has been working with me for 4 visits now and the results are noticeable; better balance, stronger, and better feeling. I would recommend Dr Chang to anyone based on his results, professionalism, and personality.

Dr Chang is brilliant. He was a western style doctor in Taiwan and so it's the best of both worlds. Two years ago I had a tummy tuck and it had post op very troublesome complications. Things were not getting better and you could measure the results scientifically and chart them. My surgeon said he had never seen such a lingering drainage problem. The numbers were always around 50 ml of drainage. From the first treatment the numbers started falling. Within two weeks I was normal and tube free.
Last week I came to him after western science again had failed. My foot was so swollen that you could not see the bones on top of my foot. And very painful. The very next day much of the pain and swelling was gone. Today I woke up and walked barefooted to the kitchen and when I got back to my room I realized I was pain free I just took a picture and you can see for yourself that my foot is almost back to normal.
Both these results are empirically validated by the measurements in the former case and the photo evidence in the case of my foot. I don't know if this web site allows for pictures.
This post is to thank Dr Chang and for all those who think Chinese medicine and Accupuncture is just placebo effect. Placebo is important and demonstrates the power of the mind to heal but it's also scientifically valid. See photo

My name is Patricia, one and half months ago I was serious injured in my shoulders and arms. I couldn't even move my fingers due to the pain. I also suffer from not getting enough rest at night and it's caused discomfort to my upper body.
My daughter had suggested to me to visit an acupuncture doctor in town. What a great blessing in seeing Dr. Gung-Li Chang. I started visiting him four weeks ago, he is using the traditional Chinese acupuncture and cupping, I am now 90% recovered!! I am also able to move my fingers and rise my arms, moreover I'm having a good nights rest.
Dr. Chang is very penitent and have always took his time to explains my symptoms with me. Thanks to you Dr. Chang *^
Dr. Chang is a master at his craft. I never had acupuncture before. When I told Dr. Chang that my back had hurt for years and nothing would help, he took my wrist and told me my back problems stemmed from my wrist being uneven. He fixed my wrist and my elbow, and my back doesn’t hurt anymore. The needles are painless for the most part, and the soothing music and gentle demeanor of Dr. Chang make Sandalwood Acupuncture and Chinese medicine a wonderful experience. Try the hot cupping to get the energy in your body unblocked.(2019 via Square feedback)
I have been seeing Dr. Chang regularly for some time. He helps me in so many ways. I am a 68-yr-old female. I have issues with my back, neck, allergies & tinnitus. He does some chiropractic-like adjustments that have my back & neck feeling way better. Also I get fire-cupping occasionally - when my allergies act up. As well as traditional needles, Dr Chang does acu-massage. Tinnitus is slightly improved. I also feel calmer & more at peace. I believe that when your pain goes mostly in the background, then you're not thinking about that all the time & you have more energy for other interests. And I feel happier, and you can't beat that! ~Helen Boyer (2018 via FB)
Dr. Chang was very attentive to my issues and directly worked on those with great success my first visit. I’m amazed how much better I feel and I will definitely going back if I have other issues. ~Carlyle Carrol (2018 via FB)
Very knowledgeable and addressed all my concerns on my first visit. Thank you for your help, Dr. Chang!~Kristin ~Allen (2018 via FB)
Dr. Chang has been my go to guy for a few years now. Whenever I have a sickness or my body is out of alignment he is the first person I call and see. I can be sick for 10 days with conventional approaches or sick for 2 days with Dr. Chang. As a business owner, time off is expensive and Dr. Chang has always been magic for getting me back on track.
I have been to plenty of general physicians and chiropractors over the years but nobody can get my body straight like Dr. Chang. He knows what your body needs and will tell you straight. He is also one of the most polite people I've ever met in my life.
I have referred plenty of my friends and family to him and will be a returning client for years to come.

I moved from Santa Cruz, California over a year ago and had not visited a acupuncturist since I left. When I was there in Santa Cruz I went about 6 times to a very renowned acupuncture school. You could choose the level of expertise you wanted, from a student assisted by senior student to a teacher with lots of experience. I normally chose a middle of the road acupuncturist. I visited Dr. Chang last Thursday, the 14th of January with pretty severe congestion and stiff neck..... I had the acupuncture and fire cupping treatment and some herbal medicine.....well the next day I woke up and while my congestion was still there, I could breath 50% better and no stiff neck, now I know why you go the best acupuncturist you can find. The most interesting thing for me was how much better I felt all around. I don't really know how to explain it.... I felt like I was ten years younger and had slept for a month..... I felt amazing! I will definitely be back monthly for routine maintenance. Thanks, Dr. Chang.

I broke my ring finger years ago. It's obviously deformed and was always painful. I never mentioned this to Gungli cause my other problems when being treated were more serious. Then about six weeks ago it was aching while being treated. He needled the area and I swear on my life that the pain left after two treatments. This is not placebo or imagination. It's gone.
Dr Chang I want to thank you so much for helping my friends. You are a life saver, I am very grateful. My friend Anthonia was cured of her medical condition and feels super great. So many other friends do too! Thank you Master!
钟医生我要感谢你这么多帮助我的朋友们。你是一个生命的救星，我很感激。我的朋友安东尼被治愈她的医疗条件和感觉超级棒极了。因此，许多其他的朋友。谢谢各位高手！~Rosie Navarro,TN (2015 via FB)

I recently receive acupuncture from Dr. Chang Gung-Li. The treatment was for sleep and for energy. The next day I slept till the alarm went off and then I exercised for two hours with great energy I highly recommend Dr. Chang. He was a medical doctor in Taiwan and so he combines both Western and Eastern Medicine. This makes him very very special.
