Doctor of Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine
Tiodoso Bear Bustillo, DAOM, LAc
For over 15 years, Dr. Bear Bustillo has supported individuals through a blend of East Asian and Western medicine. While his treatment strategies are rooted in East Asian medicine, combining both methods enables him to evaluate conditions from different viewpoints.
Dr. Bustillo has treated a wide range of conditions, including preventive wellness, pain management, mental-emotional issues, and digestive disorders. He is very interested in ob/gyn, fertility, pain management, and holistic dermatology. Dr. Bustillo is a cosmetic chemist and formulator, blending botanical expertise with cosmetic science.
Before moving to Eugene, Dr. Bustillo co-founded and served as the clinical director of the integrative medicine department at Baylor Scott & White Healthcare (BSWH), the largest non-profit healthcare system in Texas, for over eight years.
In this role, he collaborated with various specialists, including family medicine, neurology, pain management, physical therapy, endocrinology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and dermatology. He was an expert on herb-drug interactions and educated physicians on the uses and potential side effects.
As a senior-level staff member, he served as the clinical supervisor for family and internal medicine physician residents during their rotations in the integrative medicine department.
Beyond his clinical practice, he was a faculty member at AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas. There, he taught internal & physical assessments, integrative medicine treatment strategies, and supervised master's and doctoral student clinics.
In his personal time, he is a group fitness and personal trainer. His interests include drawing, yoga, qigong, weight training, and long hikes with his husband Sean and their beloved 17-year-old dog Helio. Claire, the cat, tolerates everyone once she is fed.
