Paul L Reller, MS, L.Ac

I have been seeing Paul for years. He is the best acupuncturist there is. He is devoted, spends lots of time with his patients (appointments often last 2 hours so be prepared!) and so knowledgeable. He does a combination of acupuncture, myofascial release, tui na (sp?), herbs and advice on lifestyle changes. He truly has a holistic approach to healing. A life saver!

Paul is incredibly knowledgeable about acupuncture, physical manipulation, herbs, myofascial release and more, and incredibly generous with his time. Although he couldn’t save me from getting a hip replacement, I felt so much better after his treatments that I considered not having the surgery. And, because of it, I went into the procedure stronger and more flexible than I would have otherwise.
But, don’t be a baby. Expect to feel strong sensations from his needling and physical work in some cases – it’s well worth it.

I found Paul to be a caring and knowledgeable provider. It’s hard to know if my particular health issue improved due to his work, but my overall experience with him was positive.
The initial diagnostic visit was about an hour and a half long and involved a lengthy intake. I’ve never had an acupuncturist inquire so much about my health history. Paul’s technique includes massage and stretching before the needling. He also uses cupping. For this reason, the sessions ran longer than I was accustomed to – 45 minutes to an hour long.
He has a gentle and friendly bedside manner and is quite chatty. My only complaint is that he’s a little time management challenged. Sometimes my sessions would run over by as much as 20 minutes. Then again, that doesn’t sound like a bad thing, does it?

I have been to several acupncturists over many years and I can say confidently that Dr. Reller’s knowledge and expertise is impressive. The treatment that I received for my many issues has been very helpful and has relieved my aches and pain entirely. Now we are working ailments that have bothered me for many years. I will keep Unilocal readers updated on the progress of those issues. Overall, an oustanding practitioner of Chinese Medicine.

Paul is the superman of acupuncture! I have Type 2 Diabetes and had a spike in my glucose due the side effects of taking Prednisone that was given to me by a MD (medical doctor) to treat my Asthma.
I developed Diabetic Retinopathy and was blinded for a few months. As my eyesight started to return, the MD’s said that I may or may not get back my full vision! I was having good sight days and bad days… nothing that was compared to my original eyesight before this had happened to me. The MD’s were saying that there was not much that they can do for me.
I knew about Paul and went to see him about my eyes. He said that he would be able to help me so we began treatment. After the very first treatment, I had definite improvement in my eyesight and after about 10 treatments, my eyesight was returned to normal and better then ever!
Paul is AMAZING and if weren’t for him, I would not be enjoying the excellent health that I have today!
Thank you Paul for saving my eyes!

Paul Reller has helped me for other issues but I was so impressed with my recent treatment. I had the unfortunate occasion near the end of 2010 to contract Bell’s Palsy. This is something that many people take several weeks at the earliest to several months to run its course. The Western doctors only treatment was the standard steroid and anti-​viral medicine. The rest of their advice is to just wait it out.
While before this incident, I had no idea what Bell’s Palsy was. After speaking with Paul, he assured me that this was common and well documented by Traditional Chinese Medicine. Paul put me on an aggressive course of acupuncture, herbs, and natural appointments. In literally 10-​days, I had 85% of my facial movement back. By week 3, I no longer need to go.
Paul is incredibly well-​read and does his research. You don’t expect a Westerner to be this good, but he has been trained by some seriously good teachers.
I am a fan of acupuncture and using natural treatments when possible. Many health problems emanate from imbalances in your life and diet. Paul is the right person to help you address these ailments.

Dr. Paul is an amazing healer. i’ve gone to him for my back and have always left feeling like a brand new homosapien.

I can’t recommend Paul Reller highly enough! I saw him a few times a week for 3 months for issues I was having with my back.
Paul was quite thorough in my intake & diagnosis. My first appointment was over 2 hours. Ultimately, his treatment did solve the root cause of my back pain and wasn’t just a superficial treatment of my symptoms. I really liked the approach of blending acupuncture with physiotherapy.
Unlike most doctors I have encountered lately, Paul actually connects with his patients. He is quite empathetic and responsive to his patients individual situations.
Give him a try! You won’t regret it!

Very thorough. Very knowledgeable. Very reasonable. Cares. Passionate. A bit of a quirky guy but then he sticks needles in people for a living so it comes with the territory. Go — you will feel better. And like the other folks say, he doesnt pressure you to see him more than you want.

Paul is the best acupuncturist I’ve every been to (he is the 6^th — and last — in my adult life). For the past 10-​years, I have been using acupuncture to treat computer related ailments (tight hips, strained neck, aching wrists, etc…). Paul is the most comprehensive therapist I have been to. He treats every facet of my body that is causing the pain (muscles, nerves, blood flow, etc…). One session with him is better and longer-​lasting than getting a massage. He is also much better informed about my body as a whole than my MD!
Also, I appreciate that he doesn’t put any pressure to schedule multiple appointments per week, and charges very reasonable amounts for the herbal remedies he prescribes. And, he is very judicious in his use of needles (sometimes acupuncturists put too many needles, or not enough in the wrong spots).
In short, I strongly recommend Paul. He is fantastic. Even if he wasn’t sticking needles in me, I would go just for the acupressure he performs prior to the acupuncture.

I have seen Paul on several occasions for some chronic pain issues. Most recently I threw out my back and was in such a state of agonizing pain that I had never known before. I got to Paul’s office where he greeted me, showed me to the treat room and did a physical exam to determine what was wrong with me. All the while he patiently answered my questions and helped put my frazzled mind at ease.
He clearly explained what was wrong with me, how long it would take to get out of this initial stage of spasm and into a more stable state. He used some topical salves that felt great right away, heat therapy, acupressure, acupuncture and cupping. I walked in limping and walked out with a normal stride and with pain way down to a tolerable level. I took the herbs he prescribed which helped ease the pain until my next appointment. I just had my second treatment and I am 90% better! I have a new set of herbs to take to get me out of pain completely. And so far so good.
I have to say my experience with Paul was great. He was patient, explained everything he was doing, gave me a realistic treatment plan and educated me with stretches and exercises to help accelerate my healing process. He was very generous with his time and his rates are affordable, especially considering the quality of care I received. I’d recommend this guy to anyone!

I’m no stranger to acupuncture since I first started going more than 6 years ago but Paul Reller is one of the best. He is friendly and has a library of knowledge in his brain that he is more than willing to share. I went to see him for tightness in my neck as well as other places in my body and the acupuncture is opening the channels. Furthermore he is an expert with Chinese herbs and knows what to prescribe. For anyone who is afraid to try acupuncture but curious about it try Paul Reller because not only does he do needles but also acupressure and massage.

I’ve been a fan of acupuncture for many years and am so happy to have found such a great practitioner in the city.
Paul was great — he asked a lot of questions and truly listened to my answers. I felt like the treatment was really directed at my problem and felt better even after my 1^st appointment. He mixes acupuncture with a little massage and other relaxation techniques — a very holistic approach.
I went 4 – 5 times and stopped once I was back in good shape. I loved that once we had addressed the problem, I felt no pressure to continue making appointments although I go in for a «tune-​up» every few months.
