About Bay Natural Medicine

What is Bay Natural Medicine?

Bay Natural Medicine is a naturopathic medicine practice in the Inner Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco, at 919 Irving Street. It is run by Dr. Minna Yoon, ND, L.Ac., who has more than 20 years of experience in naturopathic medicine. The practice's main services are naturopathic medicine and acupuncture, and it treats a range of concerns including digestive health, thyroid and autoimmune conditions, and chronic complex cases. Hormone balance and menopause care, including Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), is one part of what Dr. Yoon offers, built around lab testing and individualized treatment plans rather than a standard protocol. The BHRT program can include topical creams, capsules, patches, or other delivery methods, with dosages adjusted over follow-up visits and lab work. The office is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.

What does it cost?

Bay Natural Medicine does not publish prices for consultations, hormone testing, or BHRT treatment on its website. There is no stated consultation fee, no monthly or program pricing, and no information on whether insurance is accepted or how cash-pay patients are expected to handle billing. If cost matters to your decision, you will need to ask directly before booking.

What should you ask before you book?

Since no pricing is listed, ask what an initial consultation costs and what is included, such as any lab work ordered at that visit. Ask whether hormone medication is billed separately from office visits, and whether the hormones used are compounded or come from another source. Find out whether BHRT follow-up visits and repeat lab testing carry their own fees, and how often those are expected. It is also worth asking whether insurance can be used for any part of care, such as lab testing, even if the office itself is cash pay, since this is not stated anywhere on the site.

In its own words: "Bay Natural Medicine takes an individualized approach, ensuring each treatment plan is tailored to your unique physiology, health history, and wellness goals."

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for a naturopathic doctor who treats hormone symptoms as one piece of a broader, lab-driven approach to health, rather than a clinic built solely around prescribing hormones quickly. It may not be the fit if you want published pricing or a straightforward hormone-only program before you ever pick up the phone.
