Dr. Liu is a miracle-worker! I suffered from chronic, debilitating migraines several 2-3 times per week. I had tried everything else and was on a lot of medication thanks to my neurologist. Nothing was doing much to help. Then I went to Dr. Liu, almost five years ago, and he was the only one to make a difference. I go for periodic maintenance treatments with Dr. Liu and my migraines are now down to one every month or two and are very mild (that may sound like a lot to some people, but it means I can hold a job -a lifesaver for me!). He is incredibly kind and caring. He took the time to find out my whole medical situation and always checks my current status when I come for a treatment. He is also genuinely concerned when I have a bad migraine and wants to do everything he can to help me, and when you're in pain and suffering, it's very nice to know someone cares! His wife, Zheng Zeng, runs the clinic with him and is just as kind and caring. She did a treatment for me once while Dr. Liu was in China and I was very impressed. I have nothing bad to say about them or their clinic and always recommend them to any friends or family who might need acupuncture. In fact, I am getting ready to move away from Austin and one of my first thoughts when I decided to move was "Oh no, I'll have to leave Dr. Liu!" I highly recommend Honeysuckle Acupuncture - you won't be disappointed.
