Dale is wonderful! Acupuncture has helped so much with low back/hip pain. Do yourself a favor, book an appointment!

Dale was great! It was my girlfriend's first time doing anything of this kind. He ensured he made her feel comfortable and explained everything to reassure her if there was any doubt. He provided personalized treatment for each of us, making the experience very comfortable. Can't wait to go back and see him for another treatment. Thanks Dale! read more

Dale is great! He makes you feel comfortable and patiently explains everything to you as he's very knowledgeable in Chinese medicine. He certainly knows what he's doing because I always feel relaxed and relieved after my acupuncture sessions. I def recommend the services here! read more

Acupuncturist Dale Tope is simply my best find in Austin. I can't believe that he doesn't have a line of patients snaking around the block and while he and his partner have 5 star reviews on Yelp, Google and Groupon, he always seems to be available for a visit within a day or two. Nearly every review begins with the author explaining that he/she went in feeling skeptical and left impressed. Dale has helped me, family members and friends to such an extent that we are all quite astonished. And that's for $65 a visit! Dale is also a registered nurse. I know you'll be tempted to scoff at me when you read this but I think he's a medical magician of sorts. How's that for a recommendation? As far as I know, he doesn't have pills that can make you disappear like the Chinese herbalist that helped Mia Farrow in the 1990 Woody Allen film "Alice," but I wouldn't be so surprised. You don't believe me, right? Read on... My mother had been to the orthopedist and had four physical therapy sessions for "water on the knee" and she could barely walk. After her first visit to Dale, she went shopping at Costco, Ikea and Central Market in one afternoon... walking comfortably. She completely recovered. My cousin's husband went to see Dale on crutches (also with knee trouble) and left Dale to do some gardening that very afternoon. I have rheumatoid arthritis in both hands and was waking up in the middle of the night from the pain. I went to see him twice and haven't suffered since. And get this... you know those little notches that older people get on their finger joints? He can help you get rid of them. He also offers a spray that not only helps with pain but makes bad bruises go away much faster than normal. I can rush in feeling extremely TYPE A personality and within 20 minutes I'm asleep in the middle of my treatment. And Dale is easy to speak with... very understanding. Go. Really. read more

I pinched a nerve in my neck (C7) and it was causing shooting pain down my left arm and at the base of my neck. I had two appointments with Dale for acupuncture and he was able to relieve a lot of my pain. He is very knowledgeable and kind. I wish I went to see him a lot sooner! Thanks Dale! read more

Dale is fantastic and provides great care and service. We will continue to leverage him and his staff for preventative and corrective needs.

When I moved to Texas one thing I didn't realize how bad my allergies are going to act up, mind you I haven't had any before that. After struggling for three months without taking any allergy medication my girlfriend suggested I go see Dale at Pflugerville Acupuncture and he might be able to help me. Having no expectations and no experience an hour later I was allergy free! That is absolutely amazing! My sinuses were gone and I was no longer coughing, sneezing or crying every single day. And I'm even mowing the lawn without having any wheezing! Huge thank you to Dale for taking care of my now ex-allergies. I tell everybody to go see Dale who has allergies like I did. read more

**HIGHLY RECOMMEND** Dale is the greatest!! He takes the time to listen to everything you have going on, what result or relief you are looking for & then asks a few questions in order to achieve that result. I was having horrible neck and back pain for about 3 weeks after painting my ceilings. After just 2 sessions of acupuncture with electro-therapy, I finally felt normal again! I've also seen Dale for headaches and allergies. I get seasonal allergies that irritate my skin and he recommended some herbs which calmed my skin down in a matter of hours. I believe in all the benefits acupuncture provides, but combine that with Dale's former Army & nursing experience and you've got the best of the best at your service!!! read more

Dale was amazing and extremely knowledgeable in his field! I was pretty nervous about trying acupuncture for the first time but I'm very glad I did! I went in to try to alleviate back pain and tension headaches from stress and he made me feel very comfortable and I finally felt muscle relief for the first time in months! read more

I found Dale through a trusted friend. They asked if he could help with some possible neuropathy pain. I exchanged some email with Dale on the subject and decided I needed to meet him. I have never met anyone that understood both the eastern and western medicine. I healed up so much faster under Dales care then in physical rehabilitation. In the end Dale knew more about me and my medical history than my doctor! I am all healed up now and am very thankful to Dale for all he has done for me. On top of the acupuncture work, Dale really helped me sort out my diet and my blood work is better than it has ever looked before. One time I walked in after I had a sports injury to my back. I had a ton of knots in my muscles. I had never experienced Acupuncture for this type of thing. Dale could do more in 30 minutes than any 3 sessions of massage/myofacial/trigger point therapy I have used in the past for this type of injury. I left not feeling like there was a bowling ball in my back and nearly all the knots had disappeared. I also had him work on my shoulder last time I hurt it and the results where fantastic. These days I always call Dale first for any type of sports injury! read more

IT WORKS AND DALE KNOWS HIS FIELD!!!! Was so skeptical before I went in here. I was recommended to Dale by my physician. I am going through a divorce and my stress had appeared in the form of insomnia (I LOVE TO SLEEP) and this burning pain in my neck and back. Myofascial massage had helped some but more or less a band-aid. I was to the point that I was getting manic and severely depressed. My internal organs were stressing in the form of hemorrhoids :-( I was a TOTAL HOT MESS. What did I have to loose by trying it....??? It was the best thing I could have done for myself and see him weekly as of now (still going through that divorce)... He suggested some Chinese herbs as well. I had tried exercise, yoga, meditation with breathing, walking the dog at dusk, Epsom salt baths and sleeping pills. Thank you Dale ;-) read more

First time doing acupuncture and could not have found a gem. Dale was amazing and took time to listen and just knew what to do. Booked my second appointment right away. Honestly cannot wait. Talk about relaxation. read more

I've wanted to try acupuncture for years to help with my migraines, but since my husband is a skeptic, I haven't been able to until recently. I snagged a Living Social deal and was pleased to see how close Pflugerville Acupuncture is to my house. When I had my first appointment with Dale, I was even more pleased: he has 18 years of experience in nursing, so he has a thorough knowledge of both Western and Eastern health practices, and he can speak intelligently on both sides of that fence. Dale took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on and how he could rectify the problem. He helped me with hot flashes, insomnia, and has done a great deal to help my headaches (although naturally, I'm not a standard migraine patient, so I don't get as much benefit from acupuncture as either of us would like). I referred a friend to Dale, who helped him with foot issues related to diabetes. Dale also has a thorough knowledge of Chinese herbs and is in the process of opening an emporium in his office so he can sell them to folks who walk in. I've been limping along on herbs only for several weeks, but I'm SO ready to get back in to see Dale! Acupuncture leaves me as relaxed as a sleeping baby. I am a convert! Dale told me he went into acupuncture so he could help more people than he could with Western medicine. I know he's been able to do that, but I'm happy to spread the word via Yelp. I love telling people about great service providers, and I have happily referred anyone that will listen to Dale at Pflugerville Acupuncture. Go see him! read more

I was an acupuncture skeptic for years! When I tore a disk in my lower back, I was pregnant and did not have too many options as far as treatment. I gave Amy from Pflugerville Acupuncture a shot and am so glad I did! Amy is extremely knowledgeable about the body, women's health and pregnancy. She knew exactly what she safely could and could not do with me as far as pregnancy goes. I go in for back pain, but she also helps with all my aches and pains. In the beginning of my pregnancy she helped with my stress, nausea and stomach issues. Now she helps with my knee pain, headaches and keeps my back feeling good. I went every week for 3 weeks to get me back where I should be and now I go once a month for maintenance. We even have a game plan for me once the baby is born because that is when she can really work on my trouble areas that are not safe to touch during pregnancy. I highly recommend Amy and Pflugerville Acupuncture! read more

I was having random extreme digestive issues and felt tired and stressed, however i didn't have any life stressors. I got labs from my PCP and they said I was fine, but i felt like something was really off and getting worse. When i went into Pflugerville acupuncture I was told my body had remained in a state of stress even though life had improved. It made total sense. I was given a digestive remedy, acupuncture and an anti stress tonic. I saw a change in 3 days. It is now 4 months later (I now have some more life stress) and I still feel great and like I can handle anything. I have always been hesitant with acupuncture, but it was a great experience and i would recommend it!!! read more

I was recently diagnosed with post concussion syndrome after an injury I sustained about seven weeks ago. The symptoms lingered way past the time that anybody expected that they would and my quality of life was dramatically diminished. Through research I learned that Acupuncture was listed as a top alternative therapy so I decided to explore that option further. I interviewed three different acupuncturists and was incredibly impressed with Dale's interview of me. He quizzed me extensively about the traumatic injury, the diagnostics and therapies already received and a management plan, if one had already been established. His broad medical base was very impressive and reassuring. I am a retired nurse practitioner and certainly appreciated his knowledge and approach. I've had three treatments and am thrilled to finally see light at the end of the very dark tunnel I've been in! It is incredibly uplifting to believe that I am getting my life back again! read more

After battling chronic disabling sciatic pain for over 10 months I was lucky to find Dale Tope at Pflugerville Acupuncture. I had already done bi-weekly physical therapy for 3 months and been on pain meds, muscle relaxers and spent hours laying on heating pads and ice packs to no avail. My next "option" was a steroid injection in my back. Instead I opted to try something out of my comfort zone and I am so glad I did. After only 4 sessions of acupuncture and a round of chinese herbal formulas I am happily pain free. I have been able to resume my normal daily activities and am once again enjoying gardening, yoga, bike riding and gym workouts. I would highly recommend Pflugerville Acupuncture. The office is professional and soothing. Dale is very knowledgeable and put me at ease from the very 1st appointment. And while I still don't exactly understand how acupuncture and Chinese medicine work-I can truthfully say that for me it was the solution I had been looking for. read more

I had today my Second appointment with Dale, he is amazing . First he lessen carefully to everything I told him about my shoulder and neck pain, and he even gave me time to talk about weight loss and other stuff. After my first appointment I was surprise the pain in my back is gone, and now I already feel better about my neck and shoulder . I am a hairstylist and my work is always standing up so he even discuss with me how to sit down the proper way to don't heart my back . I enjoy talking to him, he is funny guy too. I will recommand him to my friend and family . read more

Experienced my first acupuncture treatment today, Dale is great, super knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything to you, doesn't give you that feeling of ughh another question, which is great being as though it's my first treatment and I had a lot of questions lol. I've had an annoying knee click from as long as I can remember and he was knowledgeable in how to help me with that and also with my allergies and help me with stress, you don't realize just how much tension you have in your shoulders until its gone, pretty cool feeling. I'll be back! read more

I'm worse than I was before I went. The amount of care he took to understand my situation was very superficial. He was more interested in being comedic rather than accurate and in depth. His head rest was cheap and caused severe issues read more

Amy was wonderful! I was scared to go since it was my first time but Amy put me at ease. She treated my pain from pregnancy and for the first time in 5 months I feel amazing! read more

As I was leaving my office yesterday I realized it has been almost 3 years since my very nasty car accident. I am to this day feel so very blessed to have met Dale. His work has really helped change my life. Still no heel spur! Still able to breathe well!! Still able to move my arms better. Even though I still have a ways to go....I will not ever be able to say enough or thank him enough for bringing acupuncture into my life nor all he has done. read more

Amazing acupuncture session with Dale Tope. His knowledge of his practice and the soothing environment are key in making your experience with him great. I've never had acupuncture done before so in coming here, I was a bit apprehensive and nervous. But he definitely made me feel safe and that he knew his practice very well. I kind of stiffened up on one of the needles that went in and it was kind of in an awkward position for the remainder of my time there... I would suggest you DON'T do that. Haha. So I ended up telling him that my neck was stiff and he placed a needle in my hand to fix the problem. Totally weird, but it worked! read more

I made an appointment for a 15 minute consultation with Dale over the internet late in the evening (around 7pm) because I get off work late. I called the day of to make sure that the time was okay, Dale answered and confirmed the appointment. He also reassured me that the consultation was free! Next day, I ended up being able to come around 6:30 instead and he greeted me. The consultation was extremely helpful and I could tell he actually cared about my well being rather than making money. I asked him if I needed acupuncture (for acne) and he was honest and said it probably wouldn't work. He instead gave me a holistic and cheap/efficient way of dealing with my problematic skin. He gave me some herbs and instructions on what to do as well as other methods and medicines I could try. I really appreciated that he didn't rush me or disregard my concerns because it was the end of the day for him. Great customer service!! read more

Went to have acupuncture for my chronic back pain and a pinched nerve in my shoulder. The staff was great and very professional, they walked me through the whole appt and explained everything. This was my first time at an acupuncturist and they really set my mind at ease. I didn't like that they were pushing their chinese remedies at the end of my appt but other than that it was nice. I can honestly say that I don't think the acupuncture has helped at all as my pain has not subsided or gone away. I'm not saying acupuncture doesn't work, it just didn't work for me. read more

I just had my first acupuncture treatment with Dale at Pflugerville Acupuncture. I am beginning my third trimester of pregnancy and feel fortunate to have found a source of relief and calm for pregnancy-related complaints and stress. Dale's knowledge, thorough explanations and confidence inspire complete trust in the process and validity of acupuncture, putting even a total needle novice at ease. After one session, I know I will be returning routinely (inviting my husband along as well). One note of warning: Be careful driving when you leave the office after treatment. I was so relaxed I had to pull over and regroup before continuing home for a nap! Don't hesitate to make an appointment with Dale; you'll be so glad you did! read more

This is the place you have been looking for. Real doctors of Chinese medicine. Real depth of knowledge on acupuncture. Stop the worthless drugs and get fixed. read more

Thanks Dale for helping with my health issues. I highly recommend Pflugerville Acupuncture for any condition that requires healing of the body and mind. Highly professional and knowledgable approach with minimally invasive procedures and herbal medicine. read more

Like many people, I am suffering there chronic back and sciatic pain, and I wanted to try something different, after searching Yelp and finding Pflugerville acupuncture with good reviews and close by, I made my choice. And this review is after three treatments, i can not stress enough how different and good I feel after these treatments. My body is feels 100 times better and mentally I feel better. Staff is very knowledgable in their craft and quickly soothed my fears of acupuncture. Looking forward on continuing my treatment and I will update my review after a couple more treatments. read more

Quiet, professionalism at it's best. Easy to schedule appointments - quick response from the practitioners. Amy didn't feel she was able to help me so she referred me to Dale. Dale listens. Dale cares. Dale helps. He knows his stuff - and it works! I would, without hesitation refer family and friends to Dale (or Amy) at Pflugerville Acupuncture. for long term, chronic pain - give it a try... there are reasons acupuncture has been around for thousands of years.......... read more

Had my first massage with Mario today and it was the best I have ever had! He focused on fixing chronic problems rather than just relaxation. I have finally found a massage therapist that I trust and will continue to see! read more

A few weeks ago a friend referred me to Dale at Pflugerville Acupuncture and I have had 3 sessions so far. I have several areas of concern I am dealing with (including arthritis, stomach, and pain from a prior injury) and each session has produced significant improvement. Dale is highly skilled, knowledgeable and professional. I have prior experience with acupuncture and Dale is by far the best I have ever experienced. Two of my family members are also seeing him now! Also, I love the online appointment scheduling and text notifications! read more

Dale is very patient with his patients. He has helped me so much with stress and my migraine. I would say this is the place to go.

Dale is very knowledgable and personable. I learned so much during my consultation, he answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable from the start. I felt as I wasn't just another patient he really took his time. It was my first time getting acupuncture and it was amazing!!! After the treatment I felt so much lighter in the sense of stress, the tension on my shoulders is gone and to be honest i felt better after accupuncture than a deep tissue massage! He started me on a Chinese herbal treatment so I'm excited to see results! I will post an updated in a few months regarding results on the Chinese herbal medicine. read more

I've had fantastic results from Dale dealing with the chronic pain from a herniated disc in my back. I highly recommend Pflugerville Acupuncture for results at a reasonable price! read more

My husband went for his first treatment today with Dale and was very impressed with him. He is very knowledgeable and patient and really listens to you. My husband has had severe neck/back pain for many years due to nerve damage from disk problems. He thought surgery would be the answer, but after 2 surgeries he had no relief. He's tried steroid injections with no relief, so acupuncture was his last chance to getting some pain relief. After his first treatment, he feels so much better. He's not pain free, but we are hoping with continued treatment, this will be the answer. read more

the experience at Pflugerville Acupuncture was educational as well as healing. I highly recommend Amy and Dale

I am a nurse who works long shifts and I deal with chronic knee pain (I need a knee replacement) and I have been seeing Dale for a few months now. I'll admit I was a skeptic at first, but I decided to give it a try. Dale is very knowledgeable and has been able to help me deal with this chronic pain. He was also able to put me at ease on my first visit. I knew acupuncture was helping me, but until I got sick and missed 3 weeks, I didn't realize just how much it was helping me, because I was in so much pain I was in tears by the time I got well enough to go back and see him. Without a doubt, if it wasn't for Dale's knowledge and help I wouldn't be able to walk or do my job (which I love). I know I will still have to have the surgery, but acupuncture is definitely buying me some more time and keeping me from having to take pain medicines that I don't want to take. Thanks to Dale I can keep working and I feel much better. read more

Unfortunately, I can't agree with all the good reviews about Dale. I've been getting acupuncture for over 20 years to treat various conditions I have. Since moving to Austin 3 months ago, I've yet to find a practitioner who will actually listen to what I want or don't want in my treatment. I thought Dale was listening to me - especially when I specifically stated that I didn't want the needles in for more than a certain amount of time. He not only ignored my specific need/requirement, but didn't tell me that he was doing so. I had a feeling that the time on the table was much longer than it should have been and specifically had to ask twice how long I had needles in me before he admitted that it was much longer than the amount I said was my limit - and then he gave the 'chi has to have 30 minutes to work' excuse. That's not accurate - I checked with my practitioner from my previous city. Even if it was - I specifically stated that i did NOT want those needles in longer than I had asked. The result? A major headache that night, along with muscle pain. I can't recommend someone who not only ignores a patient's request, but then lies about it. That totally breaks the trust factor that is needed between a practitioner and patient. read more

Amy has such a sweet spirit. The practice is also super affordable which is really important when you have a chronic issue and have to go frequently. I love that there's not all these hidden addendum prices (don't laugh because I totally saw it at "unnamed practice"). I also love that that they have online scheduling. It's just so convenient when you don't have time to call in during business hours, just want to check on availability, or simply just hate talking on the phone. The Saturday availability is gold for the full time worker. Amy can treat all types of stuff, but she loves helping people with fertility problems. I wasn't seeing her for that, but I thought her passion for it was kind of cool because I know people with fertility problems can face such despair and difficult mainstream treatments. There's really not much out there in Pflugerville either so the clinic is a gem. I'd highly recommend coming in to see Amy! She took good care of me while I was in the area. :) :) :) Now that I've moved, I'm realizing just what I'm missing trying to find a new acupuncturist. :( read more
