Meet the Business Owner

Billy Z.

Business Owner

Billy Zachary chose a career in acupuncture because he wanted to have a positive impact on his community. His martial arts background, family medical history, and interest in social justice came together to lead him into this hands-​on field, where he helps real people with real problems.

Physical pain and emotional distress are rarely isolated events. In his 17 years of experience in the traditional Korean martial art of Kuk Sool Won, which include 5 years of full-​time teaching, Billy has seen the mind-​body connection at work, and his mission at Medical Arts Acupuncture is to provide integrated treatment that takes this connection seriously. A martial arts instructor with over 15 years experience, Billy believes strongly that the power of mental and spiritual focus can be life-​changing. This belief led him in 2000 to begin studying acupuncture at the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin (AOMA).

I can say plenty of good things about Billy and Acupuncture Changes Lives. Here’s the most important: he genuinely cares about his patients and even people who aren’t his patients.
He’s generous with his time and knowledge and helped me make big advances on health challenges I’d seen a number of specialists for over 10 years.
His knowledge is broad and he has a great capacity to connect the dots well beyond just acupuncture — for him its ultimately about you getting healthier. He’s always taken the time to answer all of my questions and even help me identify new questions that I should have been asking!
So, the acupuncture he performed helped me but some of the biggest help came from the things outside of acupuncture that he suggested. Billy helped me connect the dots and make good progress on my health.

Billy helped me start a wellness journey several years ago by introducing me to acupuncture. It’s been a great way to relax and relieve stress, and learn more about how my body works. Billy is easy to talk to and his home is centrally located and very cozy. Highly recommend!

I should have posted a long time ago, but better late than never. Billy is a great acupuncturist. I’ve worked with him for years on various injuries and he has always been professional and knowledgeable with all of them. As a physical therapist my hands and forearms are overused quite a bit. Billy keeps me going and addresses the whole person (body, mind, spirit) and does a beautiful job! He’s one of the best!

I started seeing Billy recently for stress. My girlfriend used to go to Billy and she recommended him. I had never tried acupuncture before so I decided to give it a go.
Wow, I started noticing a difference after the first session. I felt like I was recharged.
Billy is very knowledgable, professional and comforting. If you are looking to try acupuncture for the first time, go to Billy. You will not regret it.

I have only started seeing Billy in the last couple of months and let me tell you, he has changed my life. I have seen numerous doctors, chiropractors and masseurs and most of the time with only minimal relief and lots of medication. In just the short time I have been seeing Billy, I have had amazing results and feel better than I have in a long time. Not only are my medical complaints easing up, I am sleeping better, focus better and just overall feel amazing. I am thankful a friend recommended me and my insurance covers his service. I was skeptical but now a true believer. Billy not only provided effective treatment, but has helped with dietary issues. You cannot go wrong scheduling an appointment. He truly is a healer.

Billy is awesome! He is very knowledgeable in his field. (And decades of martial arts makes him a «born natural» in this field.)
He is very close to U.T. making it convenient for our law students, faculty and staff to get the relief we desperately need.
I highly recommend him.

Billy is a great acupuncturist! I In addition to providing effective treatment, he’s also given me great dietary advice for boosting my immunes system. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get acupuncture (both first timers and old pros).

Billy is a true healer that cares very much about his clients and his craft. I have been going to Billy for over a year and am so glad I found, and added him to my quest for better health. I had never been to an acupuncture session before and wasn’t sure what to expect. After meeting Billy he was very thorough during the interview process, and explained some of the major differences between Eastern and Western medicine. He has treated me for allergies, high blood pressure, stress, insomnia, life in general, and a recent accident. I can honestly say he has helped me in many ways, and truly cares about the individuals he treats. Billy provides great advice and is on a quest to help anyone he treats.

I have been going to Billy for over 2 years. He has helped me to regulate my nervous system, resolved restless legs, helped with muscle aches and many many more issues. His integrity and genuine care is humbling. He treats his practice as an art. I recommend Billy every opportunity I have. His service is appropriately named; Acupuncture Changes Lives, he has radically changed mine forever.
Aside from that, he is very affordable; probably the most affordable in Austin which makes it viable to receive the care needed.
I can’t say enough good things about Billy, his demeanor is healing, he educates, one leaves his office feeling full of well being and this feeling lasts! The practice of Acupuncture is amazing and so is Billy.

I have known and received acupuncture from Billy for about 6 years. He always knows the thing to do to help me get back on track — with asthma symptoms, appetite, anxiety, etc. He’s helped me make it through some difficult times.

I’ve been a patient of Billy’s for over 5 years now. He is fantastic. He has dedicated his life to healing and it’s impressive and admirable. I came to him originally because I could not get rid of chronic pain I’d been having for years from a car accident. After a handful of doctors, chiropractors, physical therapy and pain meds, I still had pain that only Billy seemed to be able to treat. It was remarkable. Since, I visit for general health because I am now a firm believer in acupuncture for health. The best thing about Billy is that he accepts insurance and is affordable for cash patients. Acupuncture is as relaxing as a massage and just as peaceful too. You won’t regret trying it if you haven’t tried it yet. It is not painful either. It looks like it could be, but it’s not. I’m a wimp and I can handle it.

I went to see Billy for help with a persistent problem, and the session and herbs he prescribed cleared things right up – it was like a miracle. He’s very warm and makes you feel very at ease with the whole process, and this is important when you’re going in for a treatment that is a little unfamiliar and requires you to relax and rest during the treatment. He’s also very knowledgeable and makes me feel confident that whatever problem I have is being helped.

I’ve been a patient of Billy Zachary for over five years, and I can honestly say he has changed my life through his acupuncture practice. His biggest strength, for me, has been his care and understanding. In my experience, he is highly intuitive, he can almost tell me what’s going on with my body and my life as I walk in the door because of his attention to my gait, body, energy, and who knows what else. He always has wonderful words of wisdom applicable to what is going on in my life. I have seen him for allergies, migraines, back pain, depression, specific and general healing, low energy, and even for relaxation/​stress. He has helped me on every single visit. Sometimes, because I have been open, he has given me wonderful advice on herbal remedies, which have been invaluable to me. I haven’t seen him for pregnancy, but I hear those of other sexes highly recommend him for that as well. I respect Billy in his constant pursuit of balance in his body, family, business practice, personal relationships, and his care for the community both locally and globally. I suggest him to almost everyone when health becomes a topic of conversation.

Billy Zachary has been one of my primary caregivers for about 5 years. He’s compassionate, skilled, and brings a warmth to his practice that I rarely encounter. He lives what he teaches when it comes to self care (diet, lifestyle) and has a strong sense of honor, integrity and respect for his patients.
I seek his help when I’m in pain, over stressed, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, and I consider him to be a major touchstone and resource when life gets the better of me. He’s genuinely dedicated to supporting his patients.
I also find it particularly excellent that he teaches self-​defense/​martial arts classes to his patients as well. There’s nothing like learning martial arts from your doctor, for those so inclined!
Everything about his practice is low stress, which is a HUGE deal for me when evaluating a healer. I come away from every session grounded and tranquil. Highly, highly recommended.

Billy has been my acupuncturist for 2+ years. Billy is a fun-​loving guy with a soulful heart and a passion for what he does! He is extremely knowledgeable in his field — if he comes across something he doesn’t know the answer to, chances are he will find the answer and shoot you an email by end of day!
His studio is convenient, relaxing and laid back. No big complex, no parking garages, no paid parking… and scheduling is simple; he uses an online calendar for customer convenience.
I highly recommend Billy for first-​timers. He explains what he is doing, where he is doing it, why he is doing it, and what it will feel like.
I also recommend him to an experienced needle-​getter because of his broad experience and array of techniques as well as his impressive ability to customize for every patient.

I started going to Billy a few years ago after he came to my company’s health fair. I was skeptical at first, but his work has always been amazing. I had chronic headaches at work, and Billy helped not only with acupuncture, but also with recommendations for changes I should make in my diet and daily habits.
From the calming environment he creates to the knowledge that he brings about both mind and body, I can’t recommend his services enough!

I’ve only recently started visiting Billy for acupuncture and was hesitant to write a review because I don’t have a lot of experience to compare his practice. Then it struck me, this is precisely why I need to write this review. When I first decided to look into acupuncture a few months ago, I was really quite intimidated: «How in the world does one go about selecting someone who is going to be good for them?»
I can say that Billy has made the whole process extremely simple, unintimidating, and fun. He is thorough in his questioning and is humble; he makes it a point to explain how his treatment can function in synergy with other types of treatment. His martial arts background helps him to provide interesting insight on the mechanics of the body as it relates to the mind. His clinic provides a great environment for healing.
If you’re looking for someone to help you look at your mental clarity, anxiety, physical pain, and/​or acute injury in the light of Chinese medicine, you should seriously consider a visit to Billy.

I first met Billy several years ago when they just started the downtown farmer’s market. He had set up a booth and if you put your name and number in a jar you could win a free acupuncture treatment. I got lucky and won. I’ve been going to him ever since. I go to Billy because he is really good at listening to what I need and respecting my knowledge of my own body. He was invaluable during my pregnancy. Due to some complications in my pregnancy, I needed to be induced two weeks early at 38 weeks. Billy helped induce me so I could have a natural childbirth with midwives rather than go to the hospital.
