Ota Frank Y Acupuncture Clinic

Dr. Ota is the best! I also love the man who does the massage. I have also been given some fantastic herbs that have really helped me.

I have been going to Dr. Frank Ota for over 30 years and remain deeply grateful for his knowledge and expertise. He knows what he is doing and gets right to it as soon as he walks in the treatment room. In my opinion, there is no better acupuncturist in the entire Los Angels area. I drive almost an hour for each visit but I leave every time feeling so much better. Thank you, Dr. Ota, for still being there for me after all these many years.

I have had Acupuncture in so many cities around the world. Dr. Ota is by far the best I’ve ever encountered. Truly an extraordinary healer.

I suffered from an AV Joint Injury to my shoulder a few years ago.
Over a period of 16 months I went to 4 Orthopedic Surgeons who wanted to
do surgery or steroid injections.
When I went to Dr. Ota, he told me I could come 5 times and if I was not helped
I had to go back to Western medicine.
I went for acupuncture and at that time traveled internationally a lot for work.
Dr. Ota put the very small needles in my shoulder and off I went.
I was cured in 6 weeks.
I think the world of him and have referred him many patients.
He is what you would expect in a doctor: competent; kind; gentle and a healer.

I hurt my back about 4 years ago on a business trip to Texas. On this trip I was cramped up in a really tight area. This was the beginning of the worse type of pain I have ever encountered with my back. It would never be the same. Over the past years I had Kaiser Permanente for health insurance, which was a joke for any physical therapy. I tried everything to get this pain to go away. I spent so much money on massage therapy. My regular doctor from Kaiser at the time, kept giving me prescription for pain, but that was not the solution I was looking for. One of my best friends Matt referred me to a chiropractor office. Then I was introduced to Dr. Jennifer Ota. I started receiving therapy which there was significant improvement in the lower back area that had been encountering major issues. She is such an awesome and wonderful doctor. She is truly amazing. She was very gentle with me. I was terrified due to the pain. She talk to me and reassured me of any concerns or fears that I was having. I am more than pleased with the service I have received from her. I have been going to see Dr. Ota for my knee issue too. I’m able to run again This chiropractor office is a blessing to me and my family. I have sent family members, friends, and co-​workers to this wonderful place. Dr. Ota is the kindest and gentlest chiropractor I’ve ever been too. She is warm, genuine and passionate about her work. She an honest person and is very caring about her patients. I highly recommend this office. There is acupuncture and massage available at this office. Thank You Dr. Ota for giving me the opportunity to have an active life again. This is an awesome place to get massages from their massage therapist Suzie and Mr. Lu. I guarantee you that you will feel amazing after a massage from them.

So it’s not very apparent, but this clinic actually does several services: acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy. I started going here for chiropractic care because it was the only location I could find that would operate on weekends and later evenings, which is a MAJOR bonus for someone who doesn’t have very flexible working hours.
MAJOR THINGS OF NOTE:
–the office is open every day except sunday
–there is ample street parking on sepuveda as well as the neighboring area (I find bentley to be a decent alternative if you’re looking for non-​metered)
–the chiropractor is NOT creepy!
Chiropractic care by nature is a very up close and personal kind of treatment so I was happy to find that Dr. J was very respectful and takes great care in making you feel comfortable. I’ve had a couple in the past that would say somewhat inappropriate things and that is not a situation you would want to be in when someone’s handling your body.
It goes without saying that the care has been good. I went in for back pains due to bad posture (I work a computer job), and Dr. J set me pretty good. She also gave me a few pointers on how to strengthen my lower back muscles, which was also a good sign since it shows she’s interested in making you better, rather than just collecting on indefinite return visits.

Dr. Ota treated me after I injured my back in an auto accident. Professional, personable, and incredible at what he does! And his daughter works as a chiropractor in his office — very sweet and seems to know what she’s doing, although she hasn’t actually treated me.
Highly recommended!
