Treat your body well at Tigerlily 1/7/2012

Douglas Rutkowski is one of the finest health professionals I have been privileged to know. His fees are so affordable, I wonder how he stays in business. His results are miraculous. After many years of suffering, my chronic stomach pain is gone. I would recommend him to anyone who is willing to follow his recommendations to achieve optimal health. more

I will NEVER go back 11/28/2011

I paid for the introductory session through Groupon. My needs were not fulfilled. I was not examined properly. Douglas Rutkowski might not be a bad person, but not a good acupuncturist according to me. First you need people skills to make the patient comfortable. He made few remarks which did not make me comfortable or happy. Everyone is different and I think Douglas should not make generalization and I think he should treat each one as an individual rather than assuming they would be a certain way because they are from a different part of the world. He told me that I had to take herbal supplements, but he refused to prescribe any pills on that day and told me that he would prescribe next time when I come there! Next time?... It just seemed to me like ""OK this is how much you paid for through Groupon, so you will get only this. Come here next time and I'll give you what you pay for."" I didn't think about it at that time and rescheduled another appointment, but then when I got home the treatment I received was not worth it. I was not happy and will not go back, and also would not recommend him to anyone. more

Can't get any better than this for acupuncture! 10/10/2011

Used a Groupon, which is getting to be scarier and scarier as some establishments are scheduling Groupon customers separately...not so here.\r \r I'll get right to the best part, the part of the story where you know these people are on your side! Aside from the neck and shoulder pain I came in for, I mentioned another condition in my medical history. Doug noticed it and told me there was another acupuncturist in town that was especially good at addressing this condition. He gave me a referal, at the risk of loosing my business. That sold me on Tiger Lily as a health provider I can trust.\r \r Doug is really good at explaining things...and showing you how the treatment is working. Before putting in a needle he had me move my head (ouch)...he put the needle in and asked me to move again...no pain. Got to see the impact of acupuncture in action.\r \r I'll be back! more

First time acupuncture 9/1/2011

This was my first time getting acupuncture and it was a great, relaxing experience. I was initially concerned that the needles would be painful but I didn't even notice they were there. The staff was very friendly. My only complaint is that they changed my appointment three times which got annoying. more

Great First Acupuncture Experience 8/16/2011

This was a great first experience with the art of acupuncture. I can't say that I had mind-bendingly amazing results, but I was pain free for 3 days. I suffer chronic back, shoulder, neck, and knee pain, so a 3 day respite definitely did my body and mind good. It was a VERY relaxing experience. To my surprise, I actually fell asleep with all the needles in my back, neck, and legs! I woke up feeling like a million bucks. I did have a few dizzy spells afterwards, but I can't be sure that was due to the acupuncture. I really enjoyed the staff. They were very hospitable and exuded a powerful sense of calm (this is always good when you're letting someone stick needles in you). Vanessa was very nice, and took the time to listen to my plethora of health issues. I feel like she took my complaints seriously, and did everything she knew how to fit into that session to help me. I would love to return. Give them a try! You won't regret it. more

Definitely a magical experience... 8/6/2011

Even with my strong dislike, and fear, of needles, acupuncture has always been of interest to me. All of the people I know who have gone had always wished they'd not waited so long to go. With a Groupon in hand, I almost chickened out on going. I'm so glad I followed my intuition as it's been life changing. As a beginner runner I was very frustrated with the pain in my left knee and even with a support band it was challenging. My first run after my initial consultation and treatment with Vanessa, I ran without the brace (honestly didn't even think about putting it on) and had absolutely zero pain. Amazing. On the initial paperwork I had a long list of things I'd like to gain from acupuncture and after 6 visits I definitely feel more like myself than I have in quite a few years. Vanessa has such an intuitive spiritual presence, she has a gift that has both blessed my life, as well as saved my life. The downward spiral of grief and sadness that had surrounded my path is lifting. I'm forever grateful to her. more

Peaceful and pain relieving therapy 8/5/2011

Very helpful in diagnosing treatment plans for muscle pain and other issues. Provides herbal remedies and advice. The needles don't hurt and it's very peaceful when they're working on your Qi! more

Hoping to get pregnant! 7/4/2011

I found out about this place through Groupon and decided to give it a try. My husband and I are trying to have a second child and hoping that this along with our infertility doctor will help us get pregnant again. Doug was very informative and kind in explaining how acupuncture works. He also recommended some supplements that I will be starting this week. I will be going back weekly and hoping for good results in the next few months. more

Really helped my back! 5/27/2011

I had never done acupuncture before and came to Tiger Lily bc of their Groupon, and man was it worth it. Doug Listened to all of my issues/symptoms, gave advice on how to address general life issues, and then performed acupuncture and cupping to restore circulation in areas of my back that have been causing me issues for months now. I'll definitely be going back, and recommend that others give this healthy form of relief as a way to improve their body, mind, and soul. more

Unmanaged STRESS - finally relief! 5/13/2011

I guess I hadn't been dealing with my stress levels very well, and started to experience head to toe body pain. I know that diet and exercise would help but I was always too exhausted from the constant pain to do anything about it. After my first few visits, along with the Chinese herbs that Doug prescribed, I am now pain free, and have all the energy that I need. I also no longer feel the effects of stress. Thank you Doug! more

Great for my first acupuncture experience! 5/12/2011

Tigerlily off of S. Lamar was an informative and laid back experience. I had lower back and prostate issues. My first appointment was one week ago, I left the office with back pain relief and the pain has not returned. My prostate issues are improving as well. My second visit is today. Ron more

want results go to Tigerlily 5/10/2011

I highly recommend Tigerlily. It is a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. They re-scheduled my appointment two times without hesitation or complaint . Doug made me feel so at ease and actually took time to talk to me, listen to my concerns and read the information provided. He gave me additional resources for both me and my family . I actually could feel an improvment with the first session. more

You'll leave happy & feeling great! 5/6/2011

I can't even begin to express how wonderful Doug and his assistant are - they are just all around fantastic to deal with. I've been to many acupuncturists over the years and nobody comes close to Doug, now that I've found him I won't be going anywhere else! more

Great Service & Great Treatment 4/22/2011

I visited Tigerlily Acupuncture last week for the first time to address chronic knee pain I've been experiencing for the past 9 years. They were extremely helpful in discussing not only my knee pain, but my overall health and wellness, to help address several different holistic ways I can reduce pain and inflammation and improve my health. They were extremely professional and knowledgeable, and my acupuncture treatment was enjoyable (even for a first timer with nerves!) I will be returning this weekend for my next treatment. more

great first experience 4/17/2011

I got a Groupon for Tigerlily and I'm glad I tried it out. Douglas is very friendly and informative and made me feel hopeful about battling my year-long problems with plantar fasciitis. He recommended a lot of supplements, but made clear I was under no pressure to try or buy any of them. Going back next week. more

First Experience was Great! 4/11/2011

I had never tried acupuncture before but heard about it from friends. They all had good experiences. Coming off recent surgery for a herniated disc with nerve pain radiating through the left side of my shoulder, arm & neck.... I decided to try it. I felt immediate relief in my shoulder and the time alone in the room with peaceful background sounds during treatment was like a mini Yoga class. I'm an analytical guy and Doug was great at explaining why Acupuncture was beneficial for me. Great first experience!\r Bryan more

Tiger Lily Acupunture is amazing! 3/7/2011

I have chronic back pain even after 2 surgeries. I was grasping at straws for relief. I went to Tiger Lily with few expectations and a lot of hope. Well, I am happy to report that I feel like I am (finally) getting the help I need to move forward with my life!! I am very willing to be poked with little needles for as long as it takes to get better. Thank you, Doug for all your help!! Amazing!! more

A Great Experience 2/22/2011

I have all different kinds of therapy for chronic pain due to back surgeries including acupuncture, but can actually say this was different. As soon as he put the needles in the pain went away and I felt so comfortable and relaxed I just wanted to lay there and enjoy it, but then I fell asleep. Dr. Rutkowski is very witty and easy to talk to and welcomed my questions. I had a lot of questions and various things going on including stretches of insomnia. He prescribed a batch of herbs for me and explained what each one was for. I have never tried a regimen of herbs consistently and plan to ask him on my next visit ""which one of these is the euphoria pill?!"" I feel really good and I have had so much energy I don't even want to go to sleep. Luckily He gave me something for that too and it is really grounding and relaxing without making me groggy or feeling drugged. I actually have hope that this treatment will be more than just temporary relief. more

TigerLilly Acupuncture Works For Me! 2/17/2011

The idea of acupuncture always sort of scared me. Just the idea of sticking needles into one's body to relive pain or stress seemed counter intuitive. But, the reality of the treatment was so different than I expected. In addition to immediate pain relief at the time of treatment and significant long term reduction of recurring joint pain?the entire Tiger Lilly environment and experience is peaceful, nurturing, and very pleasant. I?ve had a couple treatments per month, for a few months now, and the results have been outstanding. more

Great... Great Acupuncture and Treatment 2/7/2011

When I started going to TigerLily 5 months ago, I was dragged into it by a friend. I am not one to seek out Doctors of any kind, since many just toss you pills and go to the next client. \r Having a few jobs and lots of stress along with Austin Allergies was not fun at all. \r \r I will be the first to say I do not understand why these treatments and supplements work, even though Dr. Doug explained to me many times. I choose rather to just pretend this is magic and I go with that.\r Allergies and other energy issues are far better after treatments. \r I have a Dell FSA account, that takes care of the costs and never have issues.\r \r I cannot speak to how good you will feel for days after treatment about life. Although Dr. Doug doesn’t require me to go in so often, I go in frequently to get as much benefit as I can.\r There is also a message lady at the same location, for a double benefit. \r \r I will continue to keep going for regular appointments for a long time.\r more
