Applecare Acupuncture And Chinese Herbs Clinic's Online Review Report Card

YuPing is amazing! Over the years I have been to several therapists and doctors dealing with anxiety and depression. Therapists always seem to make me feel worse by asking me to continually rehash painful life events without any connection to the physicality of my condition. Doctors, after seeking more than one second opinion, told me over and over (with little more than a minute of conversation) that I needed to be medicated. After hearing this multiple times I figured it was my only option/treatment available, I went on the meds but was unhappy with side effects and the feeling of numbness and apathy it gave me was almost worst than the anxiety. Finally my mother had success with her treatment she told me I must see YuPing. Exhausted with always trying the next thing in hop of a cure I was reluctant but I finally saw her. She approached me in way that considered my emotional state as well as the physical and spiritual. I've never experience such thorough care as if I as a whole person instead of just examining my body as if the parts belonged to a machine. I am now medication free and coping with my anxiety in healthy ways. Thank you so much YuPing for genuinely caring for your patients! My life has changed for the better, I am now empowered to let my body heal itself:)

I don't know what took me so long to consider acupuncture! I had a gastro issue that persisted for over 4 years -- constant burping that only went away when I lay down. It was exhausting and my family was getting worried! I had consulted several doctors, tried herbs, supplements, probiotics, prescription meds, change of diet -- nothing helped! I had an upper GI scope done which showed redness and inflammation in my esophagus, stomach and duodenum. I knew that the inflammation over several years could lead to serious disease and I needed to find something that would help. I am not exaggerating when I say that on my FIRST visit with YuPing it went away. I went once a week for a few weeks and now go twice a month. Visits will continue to taper off as I heal. It was a condition that was with me for several years and I didn't expect to be completely healed in one visit. You will never feel rushed with YuPing. She looks at every aspect of your life to evaluate your condition. Her services are not only acupuncture but she also uses other techniques, herbs, and simple yoga positions. YuPing also suggests practices to add to your life that help with overall well being without being overwhelming. I tell people that a visit with YuPing is like a therapist, spa, and doctor visit all-in-one!

I don't know where to begin. YuPing is a miracle worker. I have been to many doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, specialty practitioners and several acupuncturists for hip, lower back problems, and now shin splints. YuPing is one of the best. With her extensive knowledge of herbs and various naturopathic techniques she is a healer. I would not hesitate to recommend her treatments to any of my friends and family members... All I can say is the sooner you go see her, the sooner you will feel better.

This is truly one of the best things I have ever spent my money on. The herbs and meditaion works not to mention Apples wonderful passion to heal. My first visit was very comforting. From the beginning I could feel Apple really cared about my physically problems and really listened to what I had to say. If your reading this you probably have similar problems as I did (stress, anxiety, deppression, maybe even back and stomach pain) and like me are really loooking for a genuine healing without putting all those pills and chemicals into your body. AppleCare Acupunture relieved me. I cant thank her enough.

This has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Before going to Applecare, I was in bad shape both physically and mentally. I've gone to a lot of acupuncturists in Austin who are supposedly the "BEST," but they have nothing on my girl YuPing. I'm sorry but if you're going to get acupuncture, you should probably get it from an Asian person because they've been exposed to acupuncture and Chinese herbs their whole life. I'm not saying that all acupuncturists who are not Asian are bad, but this is definitely more of a second nature to her. She truly cares for each and every single one of her patients and we've become good friends. She never rushes the sessions and I'm usually there for a good 1-2 hours. Yes, acupuncture is an investment but it's worth it.. I do have some word to say about the Yelper who gave the one star review. She obviously only went to one session so she never got to experience the benefits of how acupuncture changes you for the better in so many ways. It's a shame that her review has tainted the reputation of Applecare. If you read Apple's response, it's hard NOT to see how great of a person she really is. I'm really glad to have her as my acupuncturist and I'll definitely be going to her for a very long time.

Six years ago my health took a downward turn. I became tired and depressed all the time and felt like I had a lump in my throat. I also suffered from low back pain and felt bloated and constipated all the time. I was a mess. I visited several doctors and underwent numerous screening tests (blood, urine, xray, endospcopy, etc) but this got me nowhere. According to western medicine I was completely healthy. I needed relief so I began to experiment with alternative medicine. In 2009 I started receiving treatments from YuPing. I was skeptical at first because I'd tried acupuncture and herbs before with a different practitioner in 2007 and it didn't work. However, I decided to try one more time with YuPing. This time I noticed immediate improvements, both physically and mentally. I would come into her clinic feeling worn down and leave feeling relaxed and full of hope. Whatever she was doing with those needles...it really worked. Over the next year of receiving treatments from YuPing my health improved, and she helped me realize that I needed to make certain changes in my life to continue healing. I no longer receive treatments from YuPing, but she is still a dear friend to me. She has a very bright personality and she kept me hopeful that my health would improve, and it did. :)

YuPing Wu is a treasure. She is a medicine woman of the highest regard and a credit to her profession. Her knowledge of the body and its healing systems is deep. I've had the blessing of several treatments with her and she's correcting long standing energy imbalances from a spinal cord injury that is over 25 years old. I met YuPing ("Apple" to her friends) when she rode with my cycling group and offered insights as to how my restrictive lung disease, which gives me trouble climbing hills, might be positively affected by acupuncture to help relieve the effects of scar tissue in the area around my surgery site behind my lungs. I responded in all honestly with the story of a nightmare experience with a Chinese medicine doctor ten years early who sent me screaming from his office due to his insensitivity to neurological injuries that make me highly sensitive on one side of my body. Apple assured me that she would take my unique needs into consideration. Because I was wiling to try anything for my lungs, and I soon developed energy surges in my body similar to a Kundalini rising experience, I was confident that it would be worth the gamble to try it. From the first treatment, this gentle healer has listened to everything I've said, talked me through painful body memories as we treated the area right around my spinal injury, and shown sensitivity to my comfort and needs. Every step of the way she's shown insight, provided a gentle touch when needed to calm my overactive nervous system, and demonstrated her unique knowledge of what I was going through. The validation she has provided is unlike any I've received elsewhere. I will be bringing three of my children to see Apple very soon. The way her treatments have affected my feeling more at ease, sleeping better, and overcoming the awful energy surges of three weeks ago has convinced me that I should have tried acupuncture years ago. The thing is...if I'd known Apple, I would have.

I am so glad I made the decision to try AppleCare Acupuncture. After nearly 3 years of trying to get pregnant and trying infertility treatments, I decided to try acupuncture. YuPing was incredibly friendly and professional. She explained the purpose for each treatment and made adjustments weekly to get my body functioning properly. Her treatments addressed the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Less than 2 months after beginning my treatments at AppleCare, I found out I was pregnant! I now have a 6 month old daughter who is our pride and joy I would recommend anyone to AppleCare Acupuncture. YuPing truly cares about each of her patients, and it shows. She never rushes through an appointment, and she takes the time to listen and answer questions. She was also the first person to visit us in the hospital when my little girl was born. If you are even considering holistic medicine - go to AppleCare!

my menstrual cycle has been irregular since I was young, and I have always had acne problems. Went to different doctors, tried medications, nothing had worked well. And I seemed to always have negative response towards the medications from the doctors. I am 32 yrs. old now, for some unknown reason, my cycle stopped for almost three years after I started working. I have a friend who had a similar problem and tried different kinds of natural medicines and swore that acupuncture was the best thing ever for her. The problem is that she lives in NY, and I think its a little too far for me to go there for acupuncture treatments.. lol.. so anyways, I ended up talking to another friend of mine who has been going to this acupuncture place for a long time. I got the information about this clinic, did some research and made the appointment. Honestly, I was very nervous about going since it was my very first time. Soon after meeting YuPing, I knew I was in the right place. She spent almost two hours going through my medical history, explaining to me how acupuncture and Chinese medicine work prior to my treatment. I was really surprised and shocked because I did not know of any other healthcare practitioner who would spend this amount of time with anybody! The acupuncture treatment itself was not so bad. I was nervous about the needles but it really did not hurt. After the treatment, I felt so relaxed and I almost did not want to go home! lol. After two months of the weekly treatments, my cycle improved. I actually teared up when I got my period! I am feeling so thankful for my friends and yuping. I am going to continue eating better and living healthier! ps. I actually had convinced another friend of mine to go try acupuncture, we will see how that goes :D .
