Therapy dog in training

Luna Louise “Lulu”

Say hello to Luna Louise, “Lulu” for short, our therapy dog in training. She's just beginning her journey and spends time in the office getting comfortable with the clinic as her training progresses. You may see her around, and she's always happy to say hello while practicing her manners.

For patients' comfort and clinical needs, Lulu stays out of treatment rooms and remains in designated areas of the clinic.

⎯ HOW WE WORK

What Sets Our Practice Apart

LGBTQ+ Owned & Affirming

As an LGBTQ+-owned practice, we use your name and pronouns and non-assumptive language about bodies and gender. From gender-affirming care to family-building, every patient is welcomed as they are.

Experience-Led

Peer-reviewed protocols paired with real clinical experience across Western and East Asian medicine—whether you're here for integrative medicine, primary care, or both.

Collaborative Care

Our two pillars work as one team, and we also coordinate with your outside providers. With patient consent, we share treatment plans and act as a trusted partner in your overall care.

Trauma-Informed

All care at our clinic is consent-based and trauma-informed. You set the pace, you can pause or change course at any time, and nothing happens without your okay.

Our mission is clinically grounded care, rooted in respect, transparency, and collaboration.

  • Google Review

    I came to Dr. Bustillo after experiencing pain in my lower back for years. After one session I was able to stand straight. After six sessions I was able to travel out of the country walk for miles and never experienced any problems. Later in the year I was told I needed to have surgery for a torn rotator cuff. I went to see Dr. Bustillo again and have not need to have surgery. I would recommend him without hesitation as one of the finest human beings I have ever met as well as a skilled and talented doctor in the field of acupuncture and wellness. He is leaving the Austin Area and if necessary I will travel to wherever he is. He is just that good.

    Anyone who finds themselves lucky enough to call Dr. Bustillo their doctor knows that he is the absolute best at what he does in so many ways! I came to him first for shoulder pain, and then for help with fertility needs. He is attentive, caring, kind and always made me feel like I was in the best hands for the care I needed at the moment. He is a gem of a person - as both an acupuncturist and a human being.

  • Patient Review

    During my first visit he listened to me and took my concerns about my health seriously. We made several adjustments to the supplements I was taking and the changes have all been positive. I've seen [Dr. Bustillo] for four visits and have seen a remarkable improvement in my health. He is kind, caring and positive and wants to make sure my health and well being is improving. I will make an appointment with him before I seek treatment through my primary care doctor.
