This is a very professional and friendly establishment. They are very polite and always greet you with a smile and make you feel welcome.

I started seeing Dr. Joukar for severe period pain that had been affecting my daily life for years, and the improvement has been remarkable. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in PMS, bloating, and fatigue during my cycle. I also sleep a lot better than before. Over time, my periods have become more manageable and less disruptive, both physically and emotionally. Dr. Joukar takes a holistic and compassionate approach, always listening to my concerns and tailoring each session to my specific needs. I now feel more balanced and in tune with my body, and I'm incredibly grateful for the care and relief I've received here. The receptionist staff are also very kind and accommodating with scheduling. read more

Acupuncture Help Center - Inside the room :) - Acupuncture Near Me - Glendale, California

Dr. Joukar will help you grow young! After over 20 years of experience and training, he can look at a person and immediately see where they need help. I have seen him 15 times now, and can attest that he knows exactly what he is doing. This kind of confidence is invaluable, as it lets me relax and let him do his work. I have been seeing him for help with pain in my right hip while I wait for a hip replacement, hobbling around like an old man. When Dr. Joukar inserted a needle into my left foot and I reacted, he replied, "This spot is to make you young!" I need all the help I can get! Dr. Joukar is a true master of the healing arts. The way he sets up his array of needles feels like someone forming chords on a guitar. It really is a tune-up! He deftly inserts the needles in a way that doesn't hurt. However, he also doesn't shy away from pinpointing areas needing attention. Often, right after he places the needles, I burst out laughing, as I feel a rush of energy move through me. I know the acupuncture is working, because when I take a break for an insurance authorization, the pain returns. I also notice how I enter my appointments hobbling, but leave feeling lighter, pain-free, and with a feeling of much more spaciousness in the joints of my body. Thank you, Dr. Joukar, for your excellent work! Thank you as well for your loyal support staff. Irma and Sofia up front are always professional and helpful. Roya in billing has gone above and beyond the call of duty to provide me with the documents needed to get my co-pays reimbursed by my secondary insurance. Make an appointment to see Dr. Joukar today! You will not be disappointed. read more

I had a really great experience with this acupuncturist. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, listened to, and truly cared for. They took the time to understand my concerns, explained the treatment clearly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the session. The space was calm and relaxing, and I noticed positive changes after just a few visits. All my hot flashes are gone and the pain in my neck and hip is gone too. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate acupuncturist and one thing very important is that it has to be done consistently! And you'll see amazing results! I'm so happy with acupuncture!!! read more

They are also flexible which I appreciate. I highly recommend. read more

I started getting acupuncture because I was tired of feeling inflamed in my back and traps all the time. For context, I lift weights 4-6 times a week and was also working with my hands forward a lot. I had a few people tell me to try acupuncture because it had helped them and so I did. A session goes by easy: I walk in and get seated, then the doctor comes in, pokes me with a few tiny needles, and then I lay there for 20-30 minutes - trying to focus on my breathing. Based on my research, it does take about a month or so to start feeling results, though sometimes I definitely feel a release in the areas that got poked. There's numerous benefits that can come from the practice: better energy flow, a more regulated nervous system, better gut health, etc. I've been going for about 2 months now and it's hard to tell if it's the acupuncture itself that is causing relief, or the changes in my life (working less, eating healthier), but I do feel less inflamed overall, so I plan on continuing my treatment. I like to think of it as meditation. Dr. Joukar and staff are very caring, and there's free validated parking. They do a good job so check this place out if you're thinking about it. read more

I would rate this Acupunture clinic a 10/10 if I could have. Dr Joukar has helped me a lot with my Acne I had severe acne and just in 3 months it was all gone like it never happened !!

I came in two months ago with such severe hip pain I could hardly walk. After 8 sessions of accupuncture my pain level has dropped 2-3 levels. This weekend I overdid it and was struggling with my gait again but the treatment has already helped. Dr. Joukar is very skillful and it is a relaxing and painless experience. read more

I have been injured for over two years now, with a career I love. Finding out about tendinitis in my shoulder and bulging discs in my neck in May of 2023, I immediately went on a healing path. It began with some PT for my injuries and deep tissue massage every 10 days for months until the therapist put pressure with her foot on my right hand and things got a lot worse. I was approved for some more PT and Acupuncture in November 2023, but due to moving, I had to get new insurance and this experience led me right into Dr. Joukar and his lovely team's office in July, 2024!! I actually had a summer cold and remember coughing so much my first visit. Within 5 minutes of lying there receiving acupuncture, I stopped coughing. On top of my allergies to mold and yeast, one month into acupuncture with Dr. Joukar combined with PT, I have began to feel less tense everywhere!! My joints are all popping with relief, releasing so many blockages both physically and emotionally. It has been such a blessing to finally be getting this therapy so I can heal. I appreciate having a Dr. which truly understands my injuries, has assured med it will take time but I will get better. I have been getting better and I hope to continue for as long as I can. Dr. Joukar has a lovely staff on hand and they are there to help. If you have the recommendation for acupuncture, find a Dr. you can explain what your injuries are to and they are able to help. Just know, depending on how long you have been injured, it can take time. Breath deeply and smile :) read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Joukar. In searching and researching for a skilled Acupuncturist, I was very fortunate to find Dr. Joukar. From my very first visit and treatment, he focused on my health issues and on my emotions. Dr. Joukar looks at the Body, Mind and Spirit as a whole. This totality of focus is rare with Acupuncturists. Dr. Joukar 's expertise in Acupuncture has brought me healing and balance to both my whole body and to my spirit. Twice I went in for treatment, I was having rather serious episodes with dizziness, and both times when he finished with me, I stood up and the dizziness was GONE! This made me really happy and I was feeling 100% better! Later, with another couple visits, my intense lower back pain was gone after being treated by Dr. Joukar. After seeing Dr. Joukar for some time now, as I enter into 2025, I have more energy, I feel more serene, I am losing weight and I really feel so much better thanks to Dr. Joukar's incredible gift of healing. I truly appreciate his focus on my whole body and not just one issue. And, when I do come in for treatment with pain or health issues, Dr. Joukar consistently resolves them quickly, often times with just one visit. I highly recommend Dr. Joukar for just about any physical and spiritual issues you might have. He really does care about his patients. He is the 'real deal' and he is truly amazing! read more

Dr Joukar is absolutely the best acupuncturist I've seen on the east side of Los Angeles. I came in with an injury and it has become exponentially better. He is kind, caring, and I feel significantly healthier since attending 2x per week. He has a method to the practice and I am always able to make an appointment with ease. I often see him staying late to care for patients and he is helping me feel empowered about my healing. read more

Dr. Mehrdad Joukar is an amazing partitioner. He is intuitive and skilled in acupuncture. I went for the first time a few months because I injured my foot and was unable to walk for a few days. After my first session I felt an 80% decrease in pain and was able to put pressure on my foot immediately after getting off the table. Acupuncture is a gift to mankind and I could not recommend it more to anyone searching for clean, healing, non-invasive medical care. read more

I started going to see Dr. Joukar a few months ago for wrist pain. Not wanting to take the invasive route, I decided try the wholistic approach of accu. He and his team are very knowledgeable and provided excellent care. Highly recommend! read more

End your search for an Acupuncturist here! Dr. Joukar, who I jokingly refer to as 'cousin,' is a one-in-a-million type of man and health care professional. I have an internal fight with myself as a part of me wants to gate keep this incredible team and the other part of me wants to share Dr. Joukar's magic with everyone. Upon my first visit, I really had no idea what to expect. I was nervous, had way too many questions, and I was a little skeptical about acupuncture and the wonders it can do for one's body, both physically and mentally. Dr. Joukar is so KIND and has the best bed side manor I have ever experienced with a doctor in my entire life. He does not rush you, he makes you feel heard & taken care of, he consoles you in the sweetest of ways during the emotional release of energy your body is experiencing, (yes this happens), and he always finds a way to put a smile on your face when you step in to his office. I always leave happier than when I arrive and that is saying a lot when visiting a doctor, especially one who specializes in needles. I unfortunately cannot share a comparison of Dr. Joukar to other Acupuncturists, because after I found him and started my weekly visits, my search ended there. One and done! What to expect upon your first visit: - Make sure to explain any pains or discomfort you may be experiencing, (back pain, neck pain, depression, issues breathing, anxiety, body swelling, acne, etc.). I would suggest taking the pamphlet Dr. Joukar offers and Email him a detailed breakdown of everything your body is experiencing using his target areas. I did this, and upon my next visit he had my email printed in my file and he was using it as a guide to target all of my troubled areas. I can tell he thoroughly went through everything because he highlighted specific areas where I described pain for his personal reference. And take it from me, it was a dense Email. - Is it painful? Answer: not at all. 97% of the time, you do not even feel the needle. I'm not sure if this is normal because I have no previous Acupuncturist to compare to or if this is a testament to how gentle Dr. Joukar is with his patients. Sometimes he will add pressure in three areas counting 1, 2, or 3, and he will ask which areas are the most painful and in return you tell him which number you felt the most pressure. This helps him determine where he will place the needles. - Once the needles are placed, BREATHE! - And try to stay still. Once the needles are placed, if you make sudden or big movements, you will feel a sharp cramping in the body part that you are moving. I recommend closing your eyes and listen to the music provided. If you need anything while you are in resting position, make sure to tell Dr. Joukar and he will assist you. You typically lay either face down or face up on a massage-like table with the needles in place for about 20-25 mins. Dr. Joukar will periodically check on you to make sure you're okay. - After your resting time is up, Dr. Joukar removes the needles (100% painless) and you will start to feel the improvements of your body over time. For me, I started to notice visible changes around 6 visits. The most noticeable being cramping/tightness in my calves and appetite suppressants. Yes - you can utilize acupuncture for weight loss. The last thing I want to touch up on is the efficiency and kindness of the office staff. These ladies learn your name and really make you feel welcome. Scheduling is painless, and insurance authorizations are swiftly taken care of so not to disrupt your healing journey. I cannot praise this team more. Experience it for yourself! Dr. Joukar takes LA Care for those who are on Medi-Cal. 1000/10 will recommend. read more

First I'd like to start by saying you will not regret receiving care from this practice. My office experience has been amazing from beginning to end from first call making my initial appointment to rescheduling in the case of an emergency (I do not condone rescheduling or canceling because it causes so many issues for all involved and I can tell you this from a hairdressers point of view). The acupuncturist is amazing! The type of care given are as follows, he listens, attentive to my comfort, he plays, and they offer a wide range of appointment availability during the week. I recommend to be consistent and follow through with instructions. I suffer from pain on my shoulders and back and usually get cortisone injections every three months and it's been maybe 6-7 months since I last had to receive one. This is a natural alternative that I recommend at least trying. read more

Acupuncture Help Center, Dr. Joukar, and his team are wonderful. I came into the office with tons of stress/anxiety/depression issues, chronic back issues, and lots of overall tension. The most concerning of my symptoms was definitely the mental health issues - and after just about 3 sessions, my friends and family already noticed a difference in my mood... and then I did, too. I always look forward to my sessions because I know mind and body relief is on the other side (plus I usually learn something new, too!). Dr. Joukar is incredible and an absolute expert at what he does; he goes above and beyond to give you the individual care that you need - he is very kind, friendly, and his bedside manner is amazing. Plus, if you ever have concerns, or are uncomfortable feeling something - he's very communicative and open and genuinely wants to know how you honestly feel each session to best serve your recovery. I'll be coming here again and again - and will be referring my friends and family. Plus they took my insurance - which was a huge help for me. And the needles are, I promise, nothing to be afraid of. A tiny pinch, if that (then you get instant relief). Dr. Joukar is so gentle with them and will guide you through the process each session. Highly recommend! read more

I have used this help center for a year and I love it. Dr. Joukar is really in tune with the practice of acupuncture. Contrary to popular believe not all acupuncturist or created equal. Some are cut above and go over and beyond, true artist that know their craft; uniquely in tune with their patients always innovating and adjusting their treatments to meet the needs of their patients everchanging body needs. Dr. Mehrdad Joukar is this. The office staff is amazing as well. A well caring wellness center is all around 5 stars I'd like to thank them in person and online for their help with my injuries. read more

Acupuncture Help Center - Acupuncture Near Me - Glendale, California

Full disclosure, I am writing this for my mother who does not speak English very well and asked me to write this for her newfound doctor. She is very happy and very appreciative of the help Dr. Mehrdad has provided her. She had 2 primary concerns: - Sleep Apnea - On-going pain in her legs Kaiser had provided her a list of potential doctors. She initially visited one, but later opted to go with Dr. Mehrdad. She has not regretted her decision. From the admin team to the doctor himself, she has commented very positively on the experience. The doctor takes a holistic approach and not only provides acupuncture services, but reviews overall symptoms and provides a comprehensive approach. For instance, he has provided supplements (vitamins) as well as the acupuncture services to my mother. The combined approach seems to have helped with the Sleep Apnea (firstly) and the subsequent acupuncture has helped my mother's legs tremendously. Based on her experience, she would highly recommend this doctor's services. read more
