Restorative Acupuncture

I love that Gilian takes her time and genuinely cares about her clients. I go see her weekly and I have had a positive experience everytime.

I can’t say enough great things about Gillian. The Valley is lucky to have her. She has been extraordinarily patient with my thousand questions about fertility stuff. She is extremely knowledgable and knows how to navigate the uncertain and frustrating world of fertility trials and errors. I am grateful she has been in my life and would recommend anyone to go see her.

Dr Lata has a wonderful practice. She made me feel comfortable with acupuncture and her treatments have truly made a difference. I have chronic back pain and have tried everything-​chiro, massage, and however this is this first treatment that has helped relieve my pain. She recently moved into her own office and it is very clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend giving her a visit if you suffer from any of the above, she is friendly and professional and above all listens to her patients.

I recently went to Restorative Acupuncture for sciatica treatment. I had been suffering for weeks with pain starting from my lower back, down my right leg and not getting any relief from high doses of ibuprofen. I was desperate, and had never tried acupuncture before. I found this place on the internet and decided to give it a try. The actual building is a bit dingy, but don’t let that deter you. Inside, the place is clean and Dr. Gilian is professional. After 3 treatments, I was about 80% better. While I can’t say that this was the complete cure, I would absolutely try this again if I had a similar issue.

This review is a little late, but better late than never. I went to Gilian when my husband and I were trying to conceive. My first experience of acupuncture with Gilian was absolutely magical. I cried. I’m not sure what happen on that table, but I think a ton of stress just exited my system and it was somewhat of a spiritual experience. Gilian has a very warm, authentic, comforting persona and is very knowledgable about conception, miscarriages, and everything baby. She put my mind at ease all the time with her advice. I love meeting people so passionate about their work. Gilian is one of those people. Unfortunately, I can be a highly anxious person at times so my weekly visits were quite necessary. I also took the herbal supplements that are supposed to assist with conception and we got pregnant fairly quick (although it felt like an eternity in the interim). I admit her services are costly, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for. Just several months after starting treatment with Gilian I got pregnant with my little guy (now 4 months old) and the light of my life. If you need stress relief, try Gilian! I’m so glad I did!

I just have to write about Dr. Gilian. I have been dealing with migraines for 20 years and nothing has worked except Dr. Gilian’s treatments. I was pregnant with my second child and the migraines had me vomiting so much my 2 year old was always pretending to throw up in the toilet! I went in with one of those migraines to see Dr. G and left with NO MIGRAINE. Insane. Her treatments and herbal remedies definitely decreased the frequency and the intensity. And I have never found a natural relief so immediate and powerful as her healing. She is always learning more and sharing it and loves what she does. I just am so grateful for her and the incredible difference she has made in my life. Please give yourself a gift and see Dr. Gilian!

I came to see Gilian after two miscarriages and a biochemical pregnancy so I was at a pretty low point. My reproductive endocrinologist couldn’t diagnose my issue and said to just keep trying — even though I couldn’t face the thought of another miscarriage. Gilian was able to diagnose my issue through temperature charting and regular visits. While it took a few months to get my cycle back to normal, I was able to get pregnant and hold the pregnancy. I am currently at 20 weeks with a healthy pregnancy and have no one to thank but Gilian. While it takes longer than drugs with an RE, IT WILL WORK. Have patience and faith.

If my life long friend Dennis recommends this Doctor, Then I will follow his advice and drop by and visit her facility. Body USA Fitness follows the advice of All methods of healing and the modlities of all preventatave medicine’s.

I was having trouble getting pregnant at 39 years old and thought I would give acupuncture a try. I found Dr Gilian on Unilocal and decided to see her based on the reviews. I’m so glad I did!
I am now the mother of twin girls!
When I started seeing Dr Gilian in Nov 2012, I already had one 5-​year-​old daughter, but had experienced a miscarriage after trying for a second child which resulted in a D and C. After the D and C, my husband and I started trying again. After a year of trying with no success, I went to Dr Gilian for help.
Dr Gilian told me to give the acupuncture about 9 months to work. She had me chart my basal body temp and keep track of when I ovulate using an ovulation predictor kit. I saw her once a week. She also gave me herbs which I took 3 times a day. My cycles were too short when I started seeing her but after about 3 months they became regular. Six months after I started treatment with Dr Gilian, I got pregnant! I can’t say that all the credit of my getting pregnant should be given to acupuncture alone but I do believe that it was very helpful in my case. Dr Gilian was like a coach for me. She was there to listen to all of my concerns, taught me about the complex and fascinating subject of fertility and guided me through all the different options available in both eastern and western medicine to increase fertility. Dr Gilian was just as invested in my success as I was! I ended up taking clomid for 2 cycles, supplements like CoQ10 and pycnogenol and getting a hydrosonogram. All those elements, the weekly acupuncture treatments and Dr Gilian’s guidance is what finally lead to a healthy pregnancy and delivery at 36 weeks.
Thank you for everything, Dr Gilian! And good luck to everyone who is trying to conceive. Oh! And don’t wait to take action. If you’re over 35 and have been trying with no success for 6 months, see Dr Gilian right away! I wish *I* had.

I had started seeing Gillian in February of 2013. My husband and I wanted to get pregnant and even though we hadn’t tried before and didn’t know if we were going ot have challenges or not, we decided I should see her since I was 39 and my husband 45.
April 2^nd, just 2 months after seeing Gillian, we were pregnant. He have since had a beautiful, healthy baby boy.
I really believe that not only did Gillian’s prenantal knowledge help us get pregnant but also her positieve energy and support.

I have been struggling with my knees and weight gain. Gilian really paid attention asked a lot of questions and started a plan. My knees instantly felt better, and she was honest about acupuncture and hormones and set up a diet and exercise régime that have really helped. She is a no pressure person, very helpful, and I haven’t felt this good in years! I think she is amazing

I started seeing Gilian in December 2012 because my period hadn’t returned after coming off the pill over a year earlier. I wanted to approach my imbalances naturally, and was hopeful that Traditional Chinese Medicine could help.
Gilian made me a believer! After about two months of weekly acupuncture sessions and herbs (and some small dietary changes), I had a regular period for the first time in a long time. Then, two months after that, I learned that I was pregnant!
I enjoyed working with Gilian and highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, down-​to-​earth, and friendly. I appreciated her accommodating my schedule AND replying to my emails in between visits when I had questions or concerns.
Thanks, Gilian! :)

I see Gilian Neiditch Lata for restorative acupuncture here. She is wonderful! I was referred to her by a friend who was having many issues trying to conceive. She has a condition that makes it extremely difficult. She had IVF many times and it failed. She went to Gilian and with both acupuncture and herbal remedy, she was pregnant!
I started going to Gilian because I had chronic fatigue. With her mixture of acupuncture and herbs, my fatigue was alleviated. I was skeptical in the beginning but I am glad I tried it because it worked!
In addition, I was also trying to conceive and was having difficulties. I didnt get my period for months since being off birth control and was becoming concerned. As soon as Gilian changed her focus from my fatigue and started directing her care towards my fertility, within days of starting a new herbal remedy and acupuncture, I got my period! Three months later, I was pregnant!
Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is extremely personable and is always available to answer any questions and concerns you may have. Her approach is much more gentle and natural than western medicine. I strongly suggest you seeing Gilian for any type of health issues that you have not been able to resolve. She is amazing!
Thanks Gilian!

I was given a referral last year by a Kaiser Dr. for acupuncture treatment to address neuropathic pain on several sites of my body. I was treated by 2 acupuncturists prior to scheduling an appointment with Dr. Gilian Lata at the Pain Relief Center in Studio City because I was not satisfied with the 2 previous referrals because they did not have any interest in hearing about my particular problem; they simply treated me in a ‘general’ manner, with no interest in the particulars of my individual and complicated case.
Dr. Gilian Lata WAS a Godsend. I have experienced tremendous relief due to my treatment with her. She took the time to familiarize herself with me and the reasons I was seeking her services. She DOES NOT rush you in and out of her office. She’s a caring, compassionate, empathic human being who uses those characteristics professionally, and has a breadth of knowledge about alternative treatment modalities.
I RECOMMEND HER WITHOUT RESERVATION. The symptoms I was experiencing were only part of a much more comprehensive medical condition, which impacted me both physically and psychologically in major ways. I am convinced that without her treatment intervention, I would not be functioning at the level I am today.
If you’re considering acupuncture, waste no more time; give her a call and schedule an appointment. While we all have personal needs, likes and dislikes, there’s seldom a «one practitioner meets the needs of all», I truly believe you won’t be sorry & will return, as well as refer others to Dr. Gilian Lata.

Six months ago I was in a very unfortunate motorcycle accident where I fractured my C-​1. Vertebrae. For three months I was in a neck brace 24 hrs a day hoping my fracture would fuse correctly. During those months i suffered through a great deal of anxiety and a lot of muscular stresses in my neck and shoulders.
Dr Gilian lata was incredible. I saw her every week for several months. The relief was immediate ! Her treatment literally saved me from what should have been a much longer painful recovery. I can not say enough about her warm professional expertise, superb treatments and caring sincere manner !!!
Today I am so greatful as i am active and mobile as I ever was, working full days, practicing yoga and swimming weekly.
She is amazing

Burned out physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually after more than a year of failed fertility treatments, I decided I needed a break and pursued acupuncture with Gilian Lata, LAc. I was skeptical that I would have any more success than I did with Western Medicine, but theorized that acupuncture would at least alleviate some stress and get my body in a better state of overall wellness before I was ready to jump back on the fertility roller coaster.
I was in sad shape when I first met Gilian. She initially addressed my frequent headaches and focused on tonifying my Qi. In addition to acupuncture she recommended a specialized herbal formula to take daily. Soon my headaches were rare and I had more energy. Gilian is down to earth and honest about results. She told me not to expect to see any changes or results (regarding fertility) for at least 9 months. Her approach is much more gentle than the aggressive approach of western medicine. Gilian explained that by tonifying my Qi she could then gently coax my body into what it should be doing naturally rather than forcing it to do something with harsh medications and hormones.
In less than 2 months of treatment, Gilian Lata had coaxed by body to have a natural cycle on it’s own. Something that I haven’t experienced in over 12 years! I was stunned. She changed her approach and had me take a new herbal formula that would help my body keep this process going.
Less than 5 months after starting treatment I am pregnant! I don’t think either of us expected such quick results. I certainly didn’t, but I am now a believer.
I continue to see her on a regular basis to help manage morning sickness, fatigue and other pregnancy related symptoms. She is always cheerful and listens carefully to my concerns and complaints.
My baby is due in June and I can’t thank Gilian Lata enough for her part in this miracle! Dreams have come true and my life is forever changed because of her work and expertise.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Dr. Gillian Lata is a miracle worker acupuncturist and that’s that. She’s nonjudgmental, she’s cool & down-​to-​earth and she actually listens.
I have experienced amazing results working with her — all the more amazing because she never promised me a thing — I’ve just kept waking up pain-​free for the first time in years. Amazing.

Dr. Latta is the acupuncturist at Pain Relief Center and is amazing! She’s very knowledgable and has really helped me with my chronic neck pain. I would recommend that you give her a try! Plus, she’s really nice!

I am not an alternative medicine kind of gal, but I had a great experience with Dr. Gilian Lata at this clinic. She treated me for my never-​ending elbow pain and I’m in shock to say that she actually alleviated the pain. I’ve been to doctors and specialists and I even had an MRI, but Dr. Lata had the magic touch and really actually helped me… finally.
THANKS!

I had a great experience with Dr. Gillian Lata. I received acupuncture as well as her own personal herbal remedy to help with fertility issues. It was definitely a success story and I was pregnant 2 months after starting the herbs. I had seen 2 other acupuncturists before and was not happy with their style and demeanor but I was very satisfied with Dr. Lata. She is knowledgeable and not pushy in the least. I would definitely recommend her to others.
