Nei Jing Eastern Medicine

This was my first visit to Dr Ramirez for acupuncture. Even though I had never been in his office, he fit me in on the same day, at the end of his day, and spent more than an hour with me. The acupuncture was AMAZING! I felt better right away, and a few hours later I feel even better! He was completely professional. I received excellent care! I will be back!

I just visited Dr. Ramirez last week, and I cannot wait to go again! I have a serious issue that only acupuncture has helped with in the past, and not every doctor knows how to recognize the right points that make these symptoms go away. Dr. Ramirez’ energy was so soothing and welcoming. I truly feel that he will been able to get me better.
His technique is very calculated, and he takes his time to incorporate other treatments that will support the overall result.
His knowledge extend beyond acupuncture– he prescribed herbs I hope will help too, and his logic behind choosing this kind made all the sense in the world.
I would highly recommend his practice– I seriously can’t wait to visit again!

This review is long overdue. Dr. Ramirez is fantastic! He actually saved my career. 6 months after shoulder surgery and I was contemplating retiring at the ripe old age of 42 as a Chiropractor. I couldn’t care for my patients without excruciating pain. One of my patients actually suggested acupuncture. So I figured what the heck, I’d tried everything else. After a few visits my shoulder was significantly better. Over the last couple of years I have seen Raul for various aches, pains, and just plain old tune ups. Raul’s personality is wonderful and his caring is sincere.
Thank you my friend…

Messed up my back so bad this morning I could hardly walk & had trouble sitting in the car. Had an hour before work so called to see if someone could see me. Dr Ramires to the rescue! After some acupuncture, light stretching & some other methods I was no longer in excruciating pain & back to 80% normal. 6 hours later while writing this review, there is no pain & am walking/​sitting normally.
Considering my state this morning, I would have to say this is a miracle.
Thank you Dr Ramires, I will see you again soon!

I found Dr. Raul Ramirez on Unilocal a few years ago after I was in need of an acupuncturist after my car accident. He treated the whiplash and back pain that I experienced from the car accident and I’ve been satisfied with good results ever since! I’ve come in for various physical ailments and every time I am amazed with how knowledgeable he is with the holistic eastern approach to medicine, the human body, and the ability for him to always find the root of the problem. He’s also a good listener, professional, and his office and treatment rooms are always clean.
One of my most recent issues was a cold/​cough which became a huge throbbing in my head that wouldn’t go away that I was fighting for a month by taking antibiotics. After going to Dr. Raul Ramirez for acupuncture, he was able to discover the root of the problem, and I was completely healed within 2 days.
Also, because of him, my husband was, after a week of not being able to walk due to all the stress going to his ankles, my husband was able to walk after 3 acupuncture treatments that week with Dr. Raul Ramirez, he was able to walk down the aisle for our wedding. So he was instrumental in making our wedding happen!
A few days ago, I sprained my ankle at work, and it of course swelled up and I was in a lot of pain. I went to the western doctor to make sure I got an X-​ray and didn’t have a fracture who prescribed me pain medication. However, I also went to Dr. Raul Ramirez that same day who, because of him, during my follow-​up appointment with the western doctor 2 days later, was amazed with how much the swelling has gone done. What was supposed to be a 3 – 4 week healing process, was now almost healed within a week! The western doctor’s jaw almost dropped. Haha.
I’ve recommended friends, colleagues, and family to go see him and they’ve all seen results.
So don’t wait until your stress or pain gets worse. Call NOW and call him TODAY! :)

I had a wonderful experience. I went in with a neck pain that I had for two weeks and also an emotional issue. Dr. Ramirez listened carefully and soon proceeded with the following treatment: acupuncture, electric stimulation, suction cups. I left renewed, my pain in the neck is gone (I am just a little sore but the full range of motion is back). My emotional issue is also improved.
He gave me also valuable guidance for a more balanced eating plan.
I highly recommend his services.

Oh my goodness, let me tell you something! Dr. Ramirez is an amazing man! I went to him today because I tweaked my neck and was in horrible pain and could barely turn my head. I went in and he did acupuncture with electric stimulation, suction cups and traction. On a ten scale my pain has gone from a ⁷⁄₈ to 2 and my range of motion is almost back to normal. In just one hour! Oh my goodness, the man is amazing!
I’ve also gone to him for really bad low back pain that I’ve been experiencing since I had my son and he’s usually able to take care of it all in just one session. I’ve spent thousands on chiropractors and massage but nothing worked as fast and as completely as Dr. Ramirez and his acupuncture. The man is amazing!!!

so i was told by my midwife and dr at 34 weeks that i needed to start acupuncture, moxibustion, because my baby was breech. i came on here and looked up reviews and seeing that dr. ramirez had literally all five stars i decided to make an appointment. he was able to fit me in the next day and he taught me how to do moxibustion, he sold me the moxa sticks, told me my husband could do it and seven days later at my next midwife visit, my baby moved head down! was so happy! i am very happy to have found dr. ramirez and plan on using him whenever i need to get acupuncture. i will also make sure to recommend him to any friend also in need. thanks dr. ramirez!

Dr. Ramirez is a healer in every sense of the word. I have been a patient of his for over 3 years and I go to him for everything!
When I was chronically sick-​he took care of me with herbs, acupuncture and diet suggestions and I was not sick in over a year.
When my husband and I were having difficulty conceiving, he did fertility acupuncture on me and we conceived within 5 months.
I consider him my only Dr and I feel so very lucky for finding him.
Oh, and he’s also an awesome person :)

After experiencing much pain on my sprained shoulder for over a month and having been to two orthopedic surgeons, this is the first real pain relief I experienced. Dr. Ramirez absolutely knows his craft and he truly wants to help you heal. I had never tried acupuncture before, but from now on, anytime I have a problem, you bet I will be exploring this alternative course of action. Had I known how effective and immediate were the results, it would have been the first thing I tried. Finding out about this healing method is certainly the silver lining to my injury. I highly recommend this place of healing and this wonderful doctor.

All I can say is amazing! Dr. Ramirez is a great acupuncturist. He is very knowledgeable and very understandable when it comes to listening to his patients issues. He did a technique calles cupping that worked wonders on my muscle spasms which I have been having for quite sometime due to a neck injury I have.
I highly recommend Dr. Ramirez for all your pains, injuries, stress etc. Trust me you will not regret it. I left his office after the first session feeling better than before. Not to mention he also told me about a muscle tape he applied on my back and which he also sells. This particular tape has helped relieve ao much pain that I was having. So glad I found him and will def. Be going in for more sessions to stay on the tract to healing and recovery!!!

Dr. Ramirez is amazing! I have been to many acupuncturists before, and have always known that acupuncture works wonders. I was looking for someone in the Culver City vicinity for my boyfriend who has really severe indigestion problems. After one visit, his stomach pain was lowered and he’s been able to eat a lot better. Not only does Dr. Ramirez fix the problem. He addresses the root of the problem and he has an answer for everything! I started going to the Dr. due to years of neck, shoulder, and back pain. Other acupuncturists have treated me for tension and what not, but the pain and tension returns in a couple of days. Dr. Ramirez was able to see that the pain was caused by my tail bone being out of place. Who would’ve thought! He adjusted it back in place right then and there, and my spine instantly felt straighter and longer.
Another thing I really like about the clinic is that they see one patient at a time. Dr. Ramirez takes his time with his patients and doesn’t rush and answers any questions you may have. The worst feeling is when you feel sick and the Dr. rushes in and then out, but not Dr. Ramirez! He really is there for the patients’ well being.

Dr. Ramirez is simply fantastic.
I understand if you have doubts, I had them to. I understand if you are skeptical, I was too. But all of that was erased with Dr. Ramirez. You must be contemplating a visit if you are reading this review so all I can say is GO. One chance. Give it one chance. I am sure you will not regret it.
I had always been interested in Eastern medicine and acupuncture. Unfortunately, many many years ago, my first experience was horrible. Left in a room with needles in me and no idea what was going on I just did not feel comfortable. Nor did I reap any great benefits afterwards. I now see that this was due to that doctor and not the needles.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked into Dr. Ramirez’ office. Would the Unilocal reviews prove accurate?!? Accurate indeed.
The greatest thing is that Dr. Ramirez explains EVERYTHING. He will answer all of your questions, and answer them thoroughly. He will make sure you are comfortable at all times. I think he spent about 30 min during my first session just gathering information and asking me about my health and life.
After that first session which included acupuncture, cupping and moxibustion I could not believe how amazing I felt. Years and years of physical therapy for my neck and shoulder had not done for me what one session of acupuncture did. And that wasn’t even the main reason I had come in. Suffice to say that in just one hour Dr. Ramirez tackled many issues and I left feeling amazingly better and knew I was on the road to being much healthier from the inside out.
I’ve been going once a week since my first visit and I don’t think there is an ailment Dr. Ramirez will not be able to help you with.
Book an appointment. You won’t be sorry.
Oh — and parking is easy and always available. Huge plus for convenience.

I have always been skeptical about Eastern Medicine and acupuncture… until now. :)
My husband has been struggling with back issues for years. He has a herniated disk and had back surgery a few years back. It’s been a roller coaster recovery and he had been going to physical therapy for a few months. He was doing well, but still had random setbacks and one time leaving him mostly bed ridden one weekend. We finally decided to try acupuncture and made the next available appointment with Dr. Ramirez. He went in on a Tuesday afternoon and came home raving about how calm, friendly, and such a great listener Dr. Ramirez was. He had a very good consultation session and was feeling better but still a little skeptical hoping the feeling wouldn’t wear off. As the week progressed, he still felt great… better than he had felt in years. We ended up going out with friends that Friday night and he wasn’t in any pain and was actually able to truly enjoy the night. The following Tuesday he had a followup session with Dr. Ramirez and left completely tense-​free and relaxed. He’s been great all week and his physical therapist was even able to notice a difference. Watching my husband be in so much pain and now being able to do more normal things with just two sessions makes me a believer. Mind you, acupuncture did not cure my husband of his issue, but it was rather the remedy to undergo whenever his back would spasm. If you’re in a similar situation and don’t know where to turn, just make an appointment with Dr. Ramirez. It is really hard to find a good acupuncturist who actually knows what they are doing. A lot of people claim to be good, but Dr. Ramirez has actual training across seas and is highly recommended in this area. You will have more to gain than to lose if you go and see him.
Other notes:
–Reasonable prices
–They take PPO insurance
–Convenient hours/​days
–Free parking
–Very helpful staff
Thanks Dr. Ramirez!!!

I’ve never had acupuncture done, and I was a bit hesitant, but Dr. Ramirez made any hesitation go away. I had been going to a chiropractor every week for three months and had absolutely no results other than a lighter wallet.
I’m going on my third treatment of horrible sciatica pain from having a baby, but I’ve noticed significant decrease in flare ups, in addition to when they do flare up, they are absolutely tolerable opposed to how they use to be which was extremely debilitating.
I highly recommend Dr. Ramierz to anyone who is considering acupuncture. He has a wonderful bedside manner, and makes you feel extremely secure and comfortable.

Totally have been to an acupuncturist before. Totally had a crap experience and wrote it off. I love Chinese Medicine and I go to the chiropractor a couple of times a month to keep things in check so you would think this would be right up my alley but it wasn’t. UNTIL:
Within the past 3 days I developed this HORRIBLE stomach problem — everything I ate hurt my stomach. I thought I was having a horrible gallbladder attack with everything I ate or leaky gut or something. I eat very healthy so it definitely wasn’t my diet. But after 3 days of pain I just stopped eating. I couldn’t handle it. Out of desperation I Unilocaled «holistic» and I started reading some reviews. I love Unilocal.
I found this place — amazing reviews — and decided to go in. Made a call and got in 4 hours later. I was there for 1.5 hours and this Dr. Ramirez did acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion where they heat this stick that looks like charcoal and run it over the problem area. He was so full of wonderful information. I even learned what body type I have and that the biggest problem with my body type is being super prone to stomach and digestive problems. ALSO got a food list of what’s good for me to eat.
I left, price was amazing, but the real challenge came when I went home at the end of the day and made dinner. Oh the pain that was ahead… made dinner… ate slowly… and then, nothing. I waited some more and nothing. 6 hours later I’ve had NO SIGN of stomach problems. I’m amazed. I’m joyous. I feel like crying I’m so happy. No more pain!!! I’m a believer now.
A++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dr. Ramirez even fixed my old knee and hip problems. I will be back over and over and will refer everybody to go here.

The first acupuncture session I ever had was with Dr. Ramirez, and he came highly recommended by my boyfriend, whose family has been treated by the doctor over the years. I did not know what to expect, but I approached the process with an open mind and attitude.
I relaxed on the table while he felt my pulse and placed needles in varied areas — my arms, and my upper back. No pain, but a sensation that I cannot describe (it was pleasant). He used suction cups on the areas of my back that were sore and stiff. During this whole process, he answered questions I had (I had a ton!). I lay on my stomach and relaxed for a while, being aware and vigilant of any sensation I was feeling.
I have always had stiff, tight, knotty shoulders and neck… and after all this was said and done, it felt like I had an hour-​long massage. The dense weight of my shoulders felt free, and I could move my neck with no problems. It was pretty incredible, and put to rest any skepticism or nervousness I had about the process. Many people debate over the validity of acupuncture, and to folks on both sides of the fence I say this: try it, and your body will tell you if it works or not. It’s that simple.
If you are thinking of trying it for your first time, don’t hesitate to come see Dr. Ramirez! He is very cool and will be with you every step of the way. Good luck!

I was recently in an automobile accident and was referred to Dr. Ramirez for treatment for a nasty case of whiplash. I was in a lot of pain and couldn’t get out of bed for a few days. After my first visit I felt so much better it was almost like night and day. I didn’t even need the muscle relaxers that the Dr. s in the ER prescribed me. Its been a little over 2 weeks since my accident and thanks to Dr. Ramirez’s care, I have healed so much faster than my regular Dr. expected.
Not only is he amazing as a Eastern Medicine Physician but he’s patient and thoughtful. He takes his time to listen to you before he makes his diagnosis. He genuinely cares about his patients and wants to make sure they receive the best treatment possible.

I’ve been going to acupuncturists on and off for 10 years for various problems that include back pain, sleep issues and stomach problems. I had mixed experiences with acupuncture until; t didn’t always to seem to be of benefit. Immediately with Dr. Ramirez I experienced clear and noticeable benefits. He does amazing work and explains the treatments and theory very well. The treatment takes close to an hour and he spends a lot of time talking to find out what the issues are.
He is by far the best acupuncturists I’ve experienced! As I continue to go to him, I find that he’s able to treat a wide range of issues that include sports injuries, muscle pulls and sprains, colds and flus, and more!
He does cupping and moxa in addition to standard treatments. He has a PhD in acupuncture.

I could say great things about Dr. Ramirez all day. But I think it will be more effective if I let anecdotal evidence speak for me.
I had a snowboarding accident a few years back that resulted in excruciating pain going from my neck to my shoulder. It would later turn out that this accident actually caused a condition called Winging Scapula. More on that later.
I was in so much pain that I literally went several days without sleep. It just wouldn’t go away. Long story short is that I tried to go the Western doctor route, i.e. through my «regular» medical avenues. By the time I had gotten finally approved just to see a someone to get an x-​ray (and this would simply get me the okay to have someone else try to treat the ailment), Dr. Ramirez had already gotten rid of 95% of my pain. He’s amazing.
Now the Winging Scapula. I’ll save you what the condition is, but if you look it up, it is claimed to be «untreatable». Only by going in and sewing the scapula down to anchor it, is it possible to function normally according to Western doctors. Well I have never been cut open and my scapula never sewn down, and I am back at 100% after having gone through a series of treatments with Dr. Ramirez.
It was then that I knew I had found a doctor for life. I go to Dr. Ramirez for EVERYTHING I might go to any other doctor for. Sickness, sprains, HSV-​1 outbreaks, allergies, you name it. If it bothers me, I go to him. And he has yet to let me down.
