About Dr. Aaron Lee, DAOM, Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)®, L.Ac, CMTPT/DNAc
Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist,
Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist and Dry Needling Acupuncturist
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine officially came into my life during my third year at the University of Texas at Austin while pursuing my Bachelor's of Science in Microbiology. I was stressed during midterms and was taking Claritin due to seasonal allergies. A friend of mine introduced me to South Austin Community Acupuncture during this time and after my first treatment, I instantly felt relief. I felt more calm and was able to think more clearly and the symptoms of my allergies such as runny nose, itchy red eyes, etc. were greatly reduced.
Seeing and being taught the limitations of Western Medicine and Pharmaceuticals during my undergraduate career, I realized that Traditional Chinese Medicine and its holistic view of the human body was more in line with my passion for helping others. However, I firmly believe the each medicine complements the other and the integration of both can greatly benefit every patient.
Combining my interests and hobbies of fitness, food, meditation, and helping others, I furthered my education by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified Primal Health Coach, Certified Medical Qigong Practitioner, and Certified Sports and Orthopedic Medicine while here in California.
I enjoy helping people achieve their health goals by integrating nutrition, movement, meditation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine into my treatment plans. A good life is ultimately about balance and I hope that I can share that knowledge with all of my patients.
Dr. Aaron is treating on Saturdays and Sundays 9 AM-5 PM and Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 AM-6 PM. Dr. Aaron is fluent in English and some Mandarin chinese.

About Dr. Eric Sun, DTCM, L.Ac
Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist
Dr. Eric has a love for healthcare and fills his practice with kindness, compassion, and understanding. He strives to help his patients through their healthcare needs with holistic open-mindedness and empowerment of his patients in taking control of their own health.
Dr. Eric graduated from the University of California, Davis with a degree in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior with a minor in Asian American Studies. It was during his time in undergrad that he learned the importance of cultural and socioeconomic context in the science and healthcare fields. While exploring ways to help people with a harmonious balance of both, he became enamored with modern Chinese medicine and thus launched his acupuncture career after graduating with a doctorate in traditional Chinese medicine.
The treatment style Dr. Eric practices heavily emphasizes a deeper understanding of wellness through a mind-body approach and seeks to balance both mental and physical aspects of his patient’s health. He specializes in treating patients with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trouble concentrating, and stress-related pain.
Outside of his practice, Eric can be found watering his herb garden and enjoying a dark roasted oolong tea with pineapple cake. He enjoys activities that help hone his hand dexterity such as arts and crafts, cooking, and video games.
