Seems like all Dustin's old patients are slowly but surely finding him in Westlake Village. I am another old patient going back 10 years to the West Hollywood days, when Dustin had a practice there. Dustin is a passionate guy. I remember first meeting him, and he had a sparkle in his eyes, especially with the herbs. I am the one who told him to put the word 'wizard' in his website, because I think that's what he is with needles & herbs. He later called his site acupuncturewizard.com. I will gladly take a little credit for that idea. Dustin seems to have the blend of knowledge, passion, and love. He also was the first person who taught me how to meditate, and I have been doing it ever since. His Westlake Village office is small but charming. Kinda like the way his old West Hollywood office was. He still only sees 1 patient at a time, and spends oodles of time with you. If you wanna get in & out quick, you tell him, and he seems to be good at reading your needs. When I first saw him many years ago, I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety. And I had fibromyalgia. The work we did together helped me feel human again. I saw him at least 1X per week for 5 years approximately. When I saw him recently in Westlake Village, nothing had changed. He might be a little older and wiser, but he's still the cute Doctor that I remember. And he spends a lot of time taking your pulse. And then seeks to balance your pulse thru the Acupuncture & custom herbal formula he writes for you. I would recommend being consistent. I got good results, but it took me being dedicated. Every week I went. And the herbs can sometimes get a little expensive, but Dustin always works with you. Just be straight forward with him. He doesn't do vitamins like a lot of other Chiropractors I have seen. He doesn't sell you on tons of supplements. He is strictly an herb and needle man. One last thing as I finish this novel review---it's so nice to have a Doctor that actually is reachable. He always is accessable, or he will call you back quickly. I felt very supported and nurtured during my days with him. I said he took a break from Acupuncture & Herbs for a little while. I can see how. He gives so much that he probably got burned out. Well he's back. And he is the Acupuncture Wizard, Dustin Siena of Westlake Village. read more

What can I say? This doctor is the real thing. I was referred to Doctor Siena three years ago by a college friend. I was suffering from a persistent cough. Having been to my PCP--and through a battery of tests--we knew it wasn't a potentially fatal condition, but there still was no explanation. My PCP just gave up and said I'd have to live with it. I decided to give eastern medicine a shot at solving my problem. That's when I first met Dustin Siena. I was really impressed with his knowledge. It wasn't just a bunch of mumbo jumbo, there was a lot of science and thousands of years of knowledge to back up this Doctor's brand of medicine. He asked me a bunch of questions and then examined my phlegm. After coming to his conclusions, he explained his thinking and compounded me up a custom herbal formula that kicked the cough right out of my chest within a week. Needless to say, I was sold. I've visited Dr. Siena a few times since then in regard to various medical conditions, and I'm pretty confident that his acupuncture and herbal treatments have really made a difference in my personal wellness. If you've never tried eastern medicine, you couldn't pick a better Doc to take you through the journey. I refer people to Dr. Siena when western medicine has left them wanting more. If you're in this boat, you've found the right doc. One thing I will say is definitely call ahead to book an appointment because the practice can get busy sometimes, but I've never had to wait more than two days to get squeezed in. FYI. 5 Stars for sure. read more

Dustin Siena is my favorite TCM doctor. Whenever I am visiting my family in California, I get treatments from Dr. Siena, who never fails to revive me from my chronic imbalances from stress. When I lived in California, he helped me through several illnesses by using acupuncture and herb formulas. I love his needle technique because it is gentle and calming. Dr. Siena is very thorough and personable and offers state of the art TCM treatments. When I moved to Oregon, he continued to offer consultations over the phone and I appreciate this so much. My health is so much better now and I am more aware of what "balance" is, and how important it is to use prevention to keep my health at it's best. I trust his advice because year after year he consistently identified and treated my imbalances and thus prevented permanent damage. He really cares about his patients wellbeing and is a gifted doctor. I will continue to be treated by him when I am in California and I whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone who takes their healthcare seriously. The level of medical treatment he offers is quite advanced and he takes great care to make each visit a positive healing experience. read more

Ive been a patient of Dustin's for years. And I couldnt speak any more highly of him as a healer and as a person. Acupuncturists as I see it can really be broken down into two categories 1) technicians who simply know the basics (perhaps very well) and put the needles in the places the books and charts tell you to given the symptoms and pulse and tongue diagnosis. 2) Healers who use the medicine, charts and books as a jumping off point to get to root issues and blend the medicine with other healing modalities to find the best course of action... these practitioners are more intuitive. Dustin knows the medicine inside and out, but is so much more than what youre gonna find in the text books. Dustin is a healer. I too studied acupuncture and herbology, and along the way have been to a lot of different acupuncturists. Dustin moved out of my area some time back, but if he ever moved back, I would be his patient again in a heart beat. As it is, I check in with him now and again for his opinions and advice. If you have a chance to see Dustin or been thinking about seeing an acupuncturist, I strongly recommend giving Dustin a call. read more

This is an update to my last review. Recently, I started up Acupuncture treatments again with Dustin Siena, L.Ac. After living in Westlake Village, I can say that nobody spends more time than Acupuncturist Dustin Siena, L.Ac. What I really appreciated was this. Times are tough for me. I recently got laid off, and lost my insurance. He was so understanding and compassionate. Since I needed weekly treatment, he made it financially doable for me. Without his generosity, I couldn't be getting Acupuncture. The treatments are starting to work, and I am just so grateful to have found him again. He also taught me all about Fruit Trees. He says he is now growing his own food, and taught me which fruit trees I can grow, and their energetic properties so they can help my condition. Very cool bonus. I have learned more about fruit than going to a Nursery. But most importantly, he made it affordable for me, and I am getting better. read more

Met him at Lassens and realized he was down the street. His prices were very reasonable and during the first visit in his Camarillo office, and he spent almost 2 hours. Never had a Doctor spend so much time, and explain, and answer questions. He was very generous with his time. He went over all my supplements, medications, surgeries, and medical history, and made some very basic nutritional suggestions. He spent time feeling my pulse and going through each organ system. He gave me an Acupuncture treatment, ear seeds, a special clay heat lamp. His demeanor was professional and very energetic. He seems to love what he does, and it showed. In the coming weeks, he will prepare and design an herbal formula for me, but did not want to overwhelm me first time. It was incredibly calming & relaxing, and felt great for days. This was a pleasantly surprising experience. I just may continue with this if I keep feeling this good. read more

WOW! That's what I said after my session with the kindest and HONEST Dr. I've been to in years! A friend of mine suggested Dr. Siena last month after a car crash totalled my car and twisted up my back. I thought I was okay until a week later I had felt major lower back pain. I had acupuncture 20 years ago and it ended up as sour as sour gets. The needle locked me up and I panicked! It was my 10th time and I had loved everytime before. I promised myself to NEVER get acupuncture again! Well, NEVER SAY NEVER! Thank God! I have been to Dr. Siena for almost a month and never want to leave! He has given me TOTAL satisfaction from herbs to diet to helping me sleep at night! I have not had a REAL Dr. in over 10 years and have truly given up on them... but NOT this Dr.! BTW, He has also helped me to lose 15 pounds NATURALLY and helped me out with my severe gout! Cheers to Dr. Siena! read more

After being diagnosed via MRI with a lower lumbar disc protrusion and consequent nerve impingement I was directed by my Orthopedic MD to do Physical Therapy and have an epidural procedure. I did both with very limited results. The pain continued to persist and not wanting to go the route of prescription pain medications, I decided to give acupuncture a try. My research lead me to Dustin and I have seen him 7-8 times now. Results are cumulative with acupuncture and I am now have having more good days than bad days with Dustin's care. He is a rarity in the medical profession in that he takes time with you and listens to your concerns and answers your questions. His technique is simple and straight forward with a deep rooted commitment to the centuries old art of Chinese medicine. Dustin knows his craft well. read more

A friend referred me to Dr. Siena. I emailed his practice to schedule an appointment. Dr. Siena called very soon afterward and spent a lot of time talking about my problem and what I had done in the way of treatment. In the end, he thought I would benefit from another type of treatment before starting Acupuncture. He went out of his way to find a referral for me and kept in touch by email. I was stunned that anyone would do this for a total stranger with no compensation other than a desire to make people well. I found out his education started at 8 years old, learning from his father who was also an acupuncturist. His honesty, generosity and passion for the art of healing were equally impressive to me. As my 5-star rating indicates, Dr. Siena is as good as it gets. read more

I first went to Dr. Siena when he had his office in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood. I must admit I was skeptical being more a traditional medicine kind of guy, but I went and in one treatment, Dr. Siena turned this skeptic into a believer. I was suffering from carpal tunnel and his treatment was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. In one treatment mind you, I was typing pain free and that is an important thing when you make your living as a writer. He is thoughtful and is very good at answering every question you might have. I am now and forever a patient. Whenever I have some carpal or back issue, Dr. Siena quickly gets me back in the game. Thank you Dr. Siena! I couldn't recommend Dr. Siena enough! read more

I'll keep it brief since I don't write many of these - I've been seeing acupuncturists and TCM practitioners for 30 years and Dustin Siena is up there with the best of him. He is extremely knowledgeable, takes great pride in his work, and has a great bedside manner. He works hard to stay current on the latest developments and isn't a slave to ideology, often a downside with alternate health practitioners. The reality is, though, there is nothing alternate about what Dustin does. It is straight up healing. read more

The previous reviews are true Dr Dustin does cancel appointments last minute with or without a groupon so take care when making appointments with Dr Dustin do not put off an important meeting in the case he does cancel on you time is precious. Patient care is #1 priority. Compassion & gentility is most important. Bedside manner as a professional yet caring human being is my highest priority all these are not so good for you if the Dr cancels your apportionment and does not know when he can reschedule you. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Siena for many years. And he has never failed to cure my woes. More importantly, he takes the time to get to know you as a human being; you aren't simply a number to him. That kind of personal healthcare is rare, and exceptional in the days of the impersonal HMO experience. I highly recommend Dr. Sienna to all those who seek a doctor who will cure you from the inside out. Thank you Dr. Sienna for being there for me in those moments where I needed a healing hand. read more

I have been going to see Dustin for approximately 2 months now and I cannot believe how great I have been feeling. I have a neck injury due to a trauma while deployed to Afghanistan. Although the injury cannot be healed, Dustin has given me my quality of life back without constant pain. Dustin is not just great at acupuncturist, he is a great person and truly cares about people and their health. read more

Dustin is a pure professional. He rises above them all in his hard-working expertise. Highly knowledgable, EXTREMELY compassionate towards me and my health, kind and considerate. He helped me in every single way and gave me hope and helped me feel at ease. There isn't another professional in his field I would ever trust but him. Thank you Dustin from the bottom of my heart!!! read more

Had a sharp lower back pain for many months after a car accident, but after seeing Dustin, my back hasn't hurt in weeks. I'm literally off the pain pills and bed rest and finally went dancng last night. I highly recommend anyone who needs acupuncture to come here ASAP. read more

Dustin discriminates against female veterans. I do not recommend if you are female or a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces. There have been several women trying to remove him from the VA/TriCare network with no success unfortunately. read more

Dustin is a compassionate healer with 15 years of experience in the healing arts. His knowledge of Chinese Herbs are second to none. His Acupuncture technique is very gentle. I definitely recommend him. read more

For many months I suffered from extreme fatigue. Not any more!! Traveled from New York to LA specifically to see him because I read a yelp review and I am so glad I did. Thank you again Mr Siena! read more
