I am so grateful I was referred to this place. I've been feeling so tired. No energy. Sluggish. Constant Brian fog. I was looking for a more natural approach to seeing what I can do to make myself feel better. When I met Dr. Anavim I truly felt like for the first time someone was Listening to me and wasn't dismissing what I was saying. We discussed my recent weight gain and lots of other things. He made some easy suggestions. He recommended B12 shots, weight loss shots aka semaglutide and peptides therapy. Two months later. I've lost Over 10 pounds. Feel like my energy is back. And overall I am thinking so much more clearly. I have my bounce back in my steps again. My best friend is who referred me. And I am raving about this place to others. The past two/ three years have been hard. But I am stronger now mentally and physically because of Dr Anavim and his great staff. read more

Been to acupuncture, chiropractor, pain mangament doctor for my chronic back and knee pain. Nothing was seeming to help. Was referred to Dr. Anavim by a friend, heard he was very helpful with pain managment. He used ozone therapy, petide theraoy and PRP to help my pain. For the first time in a long time I am pain free! After helping with my back pain, he ran some lab tests and has helped me lower my inflamation and improve my energy using various supplements and IVs. Linda, George and the whole staff are wonderful and pleasant. Highly reccomed. read more

I've been to the office quite a few times, during the pandemic & after and can honestly attest that Dr Anavin, Linda and the staff are amazing. Dr Anavin takes his time to get a clear understand of what your needs are. He takes his time while making you feel comfortable and glad you came in. There quite a few doctors in the LA & the valley so there quite a few options. However, low chance there is another doc with the expertise, belief system and true holistic care Dr Anavin and his team provides read more

I can't say enough positive things about this place and everyone working there to fully express my gratitude. I found Dr. Elliot after almost 2 years of dealing with traditional doctors who had no idea how to treat me. He was so compassionate and knowledgeable that I knew I was in great hands and fully entrusted him with my care. His treatment plan was gradual yet effective and was exactly what I needed to start healing. Linda is such a pleasure to deal with whether scheduling appointments or keeping you calm when you're about to do something a little frightening. George is a rockstar who makes getting stuck by a needle practically painless. I am so happy I found them! read more

I started my health journey with Dr. Anavim about 6 months ago and I can confidently say that ive never felt/looked better than I do now. Not only did he help me with my overall health/inflammation/gut health, he also worked absolute magic on my hair with a combination of stem cells and PRP. I feel extremely safe and cared for in this clinic. He takes his time to thoroughly explain everything and never lets you leave worried or confused. After many years of searching for a practitioner that cares AND delivers results, I can safely say that Dr.Anavim has exceeded my expectations and gained a forever patient. I've sent my family, friends and colleagues to Ascend knowing that they'll be in great hands. read more

I've been having issues with acne and not being able to lose weight, despite eating healthy and exercising regularly. I took a food allergy test to figure out what foods to avoid. The results were interesting and helpful! I strongly recommend this food allergy test for everyone so you know what foods to avoid. Thanks Dr. Elliot! read more

I went to Dr. Anavim at Ascend Integrative Medicine because I did not feel well. I was always tired all my doctors said I was depressed or it was my hormones. I went to Dr. Anavim and he was amazing. After I was treated by him I felt so much better! I recommend him to anyone whose doctor cannot figure out what is wrong with them. Very nice and very knowledgeable. IV therapy and Peptide Therapy are a must. read more

The low rating is warranted ultimately due to missteps in my care, that were frankly very irresponsible. I went for help regarding symptoms that matched an under active thyroid. While I appreciate him trying to help, I feel like I spent a lot of money, time and energy which yielded me no results. I feel like he doesn't probe/ask enough questions. He just goes through a pre set list of symptoms. Unfortunately, I think this doctor is out of his depth when it comes to women's health. If you're looking to come to this place, do your research. Ask a lot of questions. Nevertheless, the positives of Ascend include: (i) easy to make an appointment - no long wait times; (ii) they can draw labs right at the facility, which makes it convenient; and (iii) reasonable prices. Overall, I would not recommend this place. read more

Dr Anavim, Lynda and George are a great team. I've been going to them for about 2 months for Ozone therapy. They are very friendly and professional. The appointment reminders come clutch. Thank you guys! read more

I Would highly recommend Dr. Anavim to anybody I know!!! This doctor and his staff are phenomenal. I found him online and booked my first appointment, to begin bioidentical hormones for menopause. I have been on treatment for three months now and have a new lease on life! Doctor Anavim has me taking the hormone replacement therapy, plus several supplements daily, as well as weekly IV therapy and also lipotropic shots. The results have been life altering for me and I feel like a new person. Doctor Anavim is very busy, yet he always takes the time to explain everything very well and it's apparent that he really loves his job and making people feel better by improving their health. His practice is in a lovely office right in the heart of Encino. The building is very upscale and his office is beautiful and feels like a spa. This is my happy place! I believe that Doctor Anavim truly has a unique intuition about how to heal people. He seems to really love what the does and it shows. His demeanor is so wonderful and he is extremely intelligent and caring. Linda and George are also very competent and extremely friendly.

A huge thank you to Doctor Elliot Anavim and his staff at Ascend Integrative Medicine!!!!!! read more

Service was awesome. I had Covid and felt like crap. I got in touch w Dr. Anavim and he offered to come over and do a house call at.9 PM! He came in prepared, put the needle in easily, gave me the solution, which took about 20 minutes, and finished up. Was a very easy process and I felt much better and had more energy. Very professional and would recommend him for Covid immune IV. read more

The future of medicine is here!!!! Wow!!! . Thank you Dr. Elliot. My mom has advance dimentia and her neorologist from another clinic pretty much told us that there is nothing she can do but to give her a medicine that is not making her feel better or helping her stop her condition. We then decided to look for an alternative medical therapy and found Dr. Elliot. His vast knowledge in New medicine made the perfect doctor for my mom. After only a few weeks under his care and an armament of therapies such as Ozone and stem cell, she is more aware of her present and positive changes are starting to happen. We are very hopeful now that we are seeing moms mind biggining to improve. Im so glad that we found him. I defenetly recommend him. read more

This past Saturday I came to this place that I got I recommended to by a friend & let me just say.. I've been feeling great.. I hadn't been feeling good since I suffer from sever migraines & so I came in for a consultation with Dr.Elliot & he recommended to get an IV done.. it was a great consultation. He took his time to explain to me why would an IV help my health issue & what I need to do to minimize my migraines. Right away I agreed to get an IV done & the nurse who helped me was very friendly & explained everything clearly on how an IV worked.. this was my first time getting one because I'm afraid of needles but he was very gentle & put my fear away.. it's been almost a week & I haven't got a migraine. I can't wait to go back & continue receiving IV's for my health. Thanks Dr.Elliot & George for taking care of me! Definitely recommend this place :) read more

I feel very blessed to have found Ascend Integrative and Dr. Anavim. My husband had stroke several months ago which caused him to have aphasia and lost his ability to speak. We started getting ozone and peptide therapy and within only a few sessions, I started seeing a tremendous improvement in his communication skills. Two weeks ago he had stem cell therapy as well and I'm starting to see even more improvements. Thank you Dr. Anavim and staff for always being helpful and available for all my questions and concerns. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Anavim since my first iron infusion last December. He's honest, straight forward, & what I appreciate the most is he does not over- promise anything. Seeing him for PRP, peptide therapy, iron infusions. George is also wonderful & the environment is calm & cool. He seems to care more about my iron & levels more than Doctors in my own network. Lol. I am happy, & I do see improvements. Will update in a few months but he's a great human being &'very knowledgeable. Thank you Dr. Anavim read more

I've been suffering with Lyme disease and mold for many years. If anyone is familiar with this, it is a bad combo and have caused a fluke of problems. I initially went to Dr. Elliot for a different problem but after meeting and talking with him I genuinely felt his sincerity to want to help. Dr. Elliot wanted to make sure what we were dealing with, so he ordered updated tests and after results customized a plan. I've had a lot of ups and downs and intermittent unexpected hiccups and through it all doctor has seen it through with me until I've been able to gain balance again. Dr. Elliot is such a caring person and has always looked at research I've brought to him, past tests etc and never rushes. He always gives his honest opinion and researches the best possible medicinal formations for the problem at hand. On top of all that Dr. Elliot and George are a great team! Sometimes the needles scare me and they always do the little thumping thing next to where they are going to inject to distract me from the initial poke! I don't even have to remind them, they get familiar with their patients and what helps them because they care! Thank you Dr. Elliot and team for all your care and support. read more

Dr. Anavim has been a savior! I've been in pain for so long and haven't been able to find relief despite going to more doctors than I can count on my fingers. MRIs, Xrays CTs didn't show anything. Dr. Anavim was able to diagnose and teach me why my pain has been so persistent. His prolozone injections and peptide therapy minimized my pain substantially in less than one month! I highly recommend Dr. Anavim for anybody looking to help their chronic low back pain. read more

By far the best service you can ask for!!!! It's worth every penny. Elliot took amazing care of me for my PRP micro-needling facial. My skin has completely changed after one day. I 100% recommend coming here. read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Anavim and his kind and welcoming staff! At first I was hesitant to look into Naturopathic medicine, but I'm so grateful I did! Dr. Anavim was super busy seeing many patients at once, but had time to sit down with me patiently and truly listen to my needs. He met my needs and exceeded them! I came in dehydrated and in pain, and left the office feeling rejuvenated and pain free- it was a crazy yet thrilling feeling! Looking forward to coming back again soon :) read more
