Care that feels like it was made for you.

"Our mission is to offer clinically grounded acupuncture and integrative medicine, rooted in respect, transparency, and collaboration."

We treat the whole person — bringing clinical depth to conditions that are often dismissed, complicated, or simply not given enough time elsewhere. You don't have to navigate this alone.

⎯ HOW WE WORK

What sets our practice apart

Evidence-Informed
We utilize peer-reviewed protocols and integrate Western clinical frameworks with East Asian medicine — particularly in reproductive & hormonal health, pain management, and functional medicine.

Collaborative Care
We collaborate with your current providers, not replace them. With patient consent, we share treatment plans, coordinate care, and act as a trusted partner for referring physicians.

Affirming & Trauma-Aware
All care at our clinic is consent-based, trauma-informed, and employs non-assumptive language about bodies and gender. Every patient is welcomed as they are.

The people behind your care

Doctor of Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine
Founder • Clinical Director

Dr. Bustillo helps people feel better in their bodies—especially when symptoms are complex, long‑standing, or affecting daily life. Rooted in East Asian medicine and informed by Western clinical frameworks, his approach looks at concerns from multiple angles to create treatment plans that feel clear, collaborative, and grounded.

He has treated a wide range of concerns, including preventive wellness, dermatologic and digestive issues, with a particular focus on reproductive & hormonal health, fertility support, mental health, and chronic pain—care for bodies that have been through a lot.

Before founding Meaningful Clinic in Eugene, Dr. Bustillo co‑founded and served as Clinical Director of the Integrative Medicine Department at Baylor Scott & White Healthcare, the largest non‑profit health system in Texas. There, he collaborated closely with family medicine and specialists across multiple fields, advised on herb–drug interactions, and supervised physician residents during their integrative medicine rotations.

A dedicated teacher and mentor, he has served on the faculty at AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, where he taught physical assessment, integrative treatment strategies, and supervised master’s and doctoral student clinics.

Outside the clinic, Bear is a cosmetic chemist and formulator, group fitness instructor, and personal trainer. He loves yoga and qigong, kettlebell training, drawing, and long hikes with his husband, Sean, their 17‑year‑old dog, Helio, and their cat, Claire.

    I've had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Bustillo for acupuncture since 2018, and I couldn't recommend him more highly! He has helped me with everything from preventative care and pain management to overall wellness. What sets him apart is his genuine care and attention to his patients. He takes the time to listen and truly understand your needs, and his approach is always solutions-oriented and preventative. — April Peters

    My experience with Dr. Bustillo was exceptional. Not only is he highly skilled in his field, but he also shows a genuine care and compassion for his patients. He is truly an outstanding person to have on your healthcare team, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for acupuncture. I am incredibly grateful to have been his patient and wish him all the best in his move to Oregon.

    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.

    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.
