Alex is incredible and does amazing work. I had the opportunity to see him when I was in town, and this was my first acupuncture experience. He talked me through his process and I learned a lot during my time there. I went over the course of a couple weeks and saw real results with my anxiety. A big thank you to him and his work!

I have visited a variety of acupuncturists/healers of this type for about 30 years. Alex is one of the best I have ever been too!! He's very knowledgeable. I'm relaxed and comfortable being around him and he's great with the needles. His other techniques are quite effective too. He's got an amazing knowledge of physiology and is wonderful at explaining what's not working right in the body , how to heal it, and so much more. He's patient, kind, and a great listener. I have many friends who see him too and I have heard only wonderful things from them as well.

I have been visiting Alex at the GWC for about a year now, and he has been a miracle worker for me! He takes the time to ask thorough questions and then gets to work in a methodical and efficient manner. He is my go-to for lower and upper back pain, typically starting out with massage/acupressure and then finishing with acupuncture. While I have tried other acupuncturists in the area, I have found Alex to be most effective in providing significant relief. If you are looking for alternative healing, Alex has many treatment offerings. Give GWC a try, and let the healing begin!

Alex is my brother so, I may be a little biased, however having grown up with TCM and having been treated by many practitioners including the Chinese masters, I must say that Alex is quite gifted. He has a gentle touch and a deeply rooted knowledge that gives him unique insight into health and well being. Highly recommended!

We have not personally been to the Golden Wellness Center but we can certainly vouch for the character of the owner, Alex Tuggle. Alex and his wife April were our clients and we found them to be of good character, warm, kind, soft spoken and intelligent. We are sure they treat their clients with kindness and respect and always strive to make sure they are happy with their service. We highly recommend them to our other clients looking for a different approach to pain relief and other ailments.

DR. Alex is amazing! He gave me my life back, and got me better! I had been battling adrenal fatigue from copper toxicity for 2 years. He truly healed me. He is an incredible healer! I had been to doctor after doctor over the years. I am just so happy I found him! Have faith, and trust in him. He will get you better if you follow what he says, and have patience.

I have been going to Alex for sometime now for a pesky low back/left hip problem. I went through all the x-rays, mri's, spine specialists, pain management, chiropractic, and physical therapy, etc.. and was unable to get relief. While my pain/issue is not 100% resolved it is for sure way better. Alex has been working so hard with me, making sure he doesn't miss anything. We have made a lot of progress as he is always staying on top of my signs and symptoms making sure not to miss anything. I am so grateful for Alex and his experience, and his caring attitude. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone

Alex is WONDERFUL! I found him a few years ago through a Groupon and haven't bothered using another masseuse since. Although my first contact with him was for casual massages, I was in a traumatic car accident a year ago. I was suffering from severe whiplash and lower back pain. Alex's expertise in manual therapy and acupuncture, in addition to all the other amazing things he knows about the human body, has helped me regain my life again, literally. Besides being extremely proficient in his work, he is a genuinely kind and compassionate person. I not only enjoy our sessions together, I look forward
