Austin Quan Yin

I can’t tell you enough how AMAZING Diane Duncan has been for me. Every visit Diane really listens to my needs and what is going on physically, mentally and emotionally for me. I have had health concerns with my gallbladder and digestion. She has helped me live a healthier life and has helped my gallbladder function better so I can keep down food. She told me things that I didn’t even know was wrong with my health and has helped me narrow down what the main problem is with my body. Not only is Diane extremely knowledgeable, but she is kind, genuine and down to earth! She doesn’t just get to know your health concerns but she gets to know you personally! She takes her time explaining things clearly and really has gotten to the bottom of what is going on with my physically. I recommend her 100% I feel good leaving my health concerns in her hands.

Love Dianne at Austin Quan Yin, she’s helped me with multiple pain management issues, (including fibromyalgia) and allergies. I don’t take any pharmaceuticals, love the Chinese herbal formulas she offers as supplements. I’ve been a happy customer for over 8 years.

Let me break it down for you. I’ve spent seven years feeling like I’ve been ran over by a truck. Spent over $ 15k spent on doctors, some of whom are considered to be great, who threw many pills and potions my way. I’ve tried EVERYTHING I could try and still felt like complete crap.
I made an appointment with Dianne and thank my lucky stars I did. Within maybe 20 seconds of flipping through the huge form I filled out, she told me I had an auto-​immune disease. I got the test and SHE WAS RIGHT.
This woman knows her s*#t. Seriously. She may be *just* an acupuncturist but she deeply understands the details of the human body and will help you balance the entire system… and get to the root of it! She is incredibly authentic, kind and a straight shooter.
As for the acupuncturist part, I sent my doubting smoker friend to her. After his treatment with her, he smoked two cigs in three days (down from 7 a day). He was amazed, as was I.
Trying not to think of what I could’ve done with the 15k I spent on useless MD’s…

I’ve been seeing Dianne for a couple of months now and she’s absolutely fantastic! I’ve gone to a number of doctors for some health problems I’ve had for years and she’s the first person to really sit with me and discuss what’s going on. She’s unbelievably knowledgable and kind. She always answers all my questions and she really listens to my concerns. She celebrates improvements and commiserates on problems (but then she talks through why I might be having the health problems I’m having).
I’d never been to an acupuncturist before, but she put my mind at ease and explained everything thoroughly before she started. I always ask what all the points mean and do when she’s inserting the needles and she’s patient in answering my questions.
She’s also helped me figure out the best supplements to improve my health. I had some blood sugar issues and she handed me knowledge on how to level myself out and the right supplements to help me get there.
I ask a lot of questions and I almost always have lots of questions after I’ve left a doctor’s office, but it can be a pain to get a response when I’m not sitting face-​to-​face with most medical practitioners… I know I can just shoot her an email and have a response within a day (usually within the hour!).
The only downside (for me personally) is that she has cats in the waiting area of her office. I love cats, but I’m also extremely allergic to them. I was worried about this in the beginning, but she keeps the cats out of her acupuncture room, so I haven’t had even the slightest trouble with my allergies.
All in all, I always walk out of there feeling AMAZING.

When I need to get myself sorted out, I head over to Quan Yin for a visit with Dianne. I’m a big believer in a holistic approach although I tend to be skeptical of many alternative healers. Although I’m open to new approaches, I’m pretty cynical when it comes to unsubstantiated claims and ambiguous cure-​alls.
It was important to me to find someone legitimate, with experience and credentials. Dianne is licensed by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners, has received her Masters from the Academy of Oriental Medicine in Austin, and is nationally certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology. While the prices are in line with other acupuncturists in Austin, Quan Yin accepts many forms of insurance making it even more affordable if your plan covers it.
Does anyone remember that TV show Marcus Welby, MD? With Robert Young and James Brolin? Dr. Welby was a good doctor who always had time to sit down and talk with his patients. That’s something that is seriously lacking with most of the doctors I’ve encountered but is present at Quan Yin. She really takes the time to sit down and talk to you about your health, your concerns, life in general. I mean really, who want to get poked by a stranger?
With her array of programs, techniques and extensive apothecary, you are sure to leave feeling better than when you came in.
