Dr. Perez was incredibly helpful - I had been experiencing a variety of health issues, causing me to have a lot of anxiety and not rest. Immediately, I was at ease with his level of knowledge and training, the treatment helped me instantly and continues to have positive impacts the week following. I am so grateful to have found this resource and trust his practice for my on-going wellness journey!

Dr. Perez was recommended to my husband and I by a friend for issues related to pain, hormones and general wellbeing. Dr. Perez thoroughly evaluated our histories with detailed questions and shared insights into Chinese medicine. The accupuncture sessions and herbs have provided lasting relief. We are grateful!

Dan is so incredibly knowledgeable. I've been thinking about Eastern medicine for a long time but it always intimidated me. I didn't think I would find anyone who could understand and explain both Eastern and Western medicine and how they can complement each other...until I met Dan (who happens to be a retired MD of Western medicine). I've taken 2 products from Dan that are awesome. I have knee pain because I spend a lot of time on my bike and he's got a tea that helps with the pain and inflammation. I couldn't believe it when I first tried it. And I've also been having difficulty sleeping through the night but there's another tea I tried for that and now I'm getting more sleep than I have in a long time. Thanks Dan!

This was my first experience with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbalism and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dan was very good at explaining the processes and reasons for placement. I was having some trouble sleeping and after a few treatments I was markedly improved. Highly recommend.

It has been the sole medical system in use for approximately 4000 years in China. However, Chinese medicine is not based on the medical concepts developed in the West. This makes it difficult to translate their ideas over, especially by individuals trained in only Western medicine. In time this will change. And helping that change along is Dr. Perez's motivation for founding the Yi Guan clinic.
Some acupuncturists are doctors. Their doctorates are in acupuncture and Eastern Medicine. The medical training of Dr. Perez, Yi Guan's founder, is different than the typical acupuncturists you might find in this area. Dr. Perez went to Western medical school, got his MD, and then got an additional Master's degree in acupuncture and Chinese Herbalism at the AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine here in Austin.
The body communicates with itself in two main ways: 1.) electrical signals through the nerves, and 2.) endocrine or immunological factors circulating in the blood. Through centuries of practice, Chinese physicians have figured out methods using tiny needles to change the signals flowing across these pathways. By influencing how a patient's body communicates internally, acupuncture can be an effective treatment for many conditions.
Yes. Acupuncture has very good results in alleviating all kinds of pain. By inserting tiny needles into specific places throughout the body, Chinese physicians can alter pain signals flowing across the body's two main communication pathways - the nervous system and endocrine / immunological system.
Yes. Acupuncture therapies show good results in treating anxiety and other emotional issues. It's thought the reason is because an acupuncturist can interface directly with the patient's immunological system and influence how that system interacts with the mind. Validity in Western science for this theory comes from a new field called psychoneuroimmunology - the study of how emotional states and the body's immune system interact.
Chinese medicine has two major components - acupuncture and herbalism. Acupuncture uses the immune system and the nervous system to send the body physiological messages. Herbalism uses biochemically active substances, coming from plants rather than a laboratory like in Western medicine, to influence physiological targets in the body. Using these two techniques, Chinese medicine can put a patient's health back into balance.
