There were 3 people ahead of us and they just took in the 3:15 appointment. It could be 30 minutes, it could be 45 minutes. "Depends if the people ahead of you have a lot of questions or need an X-ray." Um, are you hoping for people who ask no questions about their own medical condition? No explanation of how they were going to see us well after their closing time. No "sorry," which I guess would've been hypocritical anyway. By that point, I had checked Yelp and found it was par for the course, and sure enough, it was just another day of grossly overbooking the place at the expense of patients' time. We canceled soon after and left without being seen for a painful injury. Wish I could send them a bill for our time.

So I sought a second opinion. The second Dr. did a much longer, thorough physical exam, and explained that he thought it was a torn labrum, but that it should be definitively confirmed with an MRI. An MRI definitively confirmed that I had a torn labrum, a completely unrelated condition to tendonitis, which is treated completely differently. Is Dr. Reynolds grossly incompetent, or simply criminally negligent? I can only speculate, but that question will be answered in a court of law.

He treated me twice before telling me I needed surgery. When I told him I only had Medicruz, he flipped and said I should ask my parents for the money to pay forr the surgery. I told him I was 22 and that I was an adult and my parents did not support me. He then commented about the Los Angeles Athletic Club sweatshirt I was wearing and how I could afford a membership there, I should be able to afford his bill. It was my roommates sweatshirt. He ended up doing the surgery, but we never spoke again from that day until recently. I had broken my arm and saw two Doctors who said I needed to be patient. I reluctantly went to him and he said I needed surgery and his associate would do the surgery. The associate did a fantastic job. When I went to Fogels staff to get a note asking that my "Domestic Partner" justify with his employer why he needed two days off (unpaid), his staff said to write up a note and that they could get him to sign it for me. Once they saw that my "DP" was a guy, they told me he didn't, nor did his associate sign off on these for "anyone". They then proceeded to tell me they thought I was asking for a note for myself, not my partner. They also tried to tell me that I would not need ANY assistance after the surgery. When I bypassed Fogels staff and went to his associates head nurse, It turns out that his associate had no issues with us being gay and signed off for two weeks of FMLA for my partner. It seems Fogel's staff needs to be enlightened that FMLA is something the Government put in place for this very reason and that it isn't up to the Doctor to choose who he feels is worthy of qualifying for FMLA.

Forty years ago I experienced acupuncture for the first time, and have been utilizing acupuncture services ever since to enhance my body's healing process for many conditions. So I have seen a number of practitioners over four decades, ranging from practitioners I would not recommend at all, to master practitioners I fully trust putting my well-being into their hands, and would gladly see others assisted by them! Lishanna Tryllium, L.Ac, at People's Integrative Medicine & Acupuncture is one of the latter, a profoundly gifted practitioner. Recently I suffered a bout of horrendous, painful sciatica in my left leg; never before in my life had I felt anything like it! It lasted months and months. I was seeing a physical therapist, but a friend recommended I also consider doing acupuncture with Lishanna. I did, for 5 sessions, and am now convinced she is "fully assisted by revered ancestors". My experience was deep, restorative, and I am now fully recovered with no pain whatsoever. The sciatica was resolved a while ago, but I scheduled an appt with her for yesterday. When I arrived, she asked what was I needing to address in the treatment and I said MOOD. I was feeling incredibly stuck emotionally; and not able to make sense of a particular interpersonal problem, because of the emotional charge. "Okay, this is what we will do... " and she proceeded to needle me. Today, 24 hours later, I feel like I am much more gathered in, less dispersed, and what was so hard to perceive (why something happened the way it did) for the past six months is filled with clarity today! I highly recommend her as a master acupuncture practitioner! read more

i found Lishanna at People's Integrative Medicine through a Groupon and I have been a loyal patient ever since! She started treating me for general health and some stress relief treatments almost 2 years ago. Last year I found out that I had to have an urgent hysterectomy because there was a possibility of Uterine Cancer detected. Lishanna treated me before, during and after my surgery and is now in the process of needling my scar from 22 staples. I recovered faster than most according to my surgeon and parts of my scar are now flat and almost non-visible. The results are amazing and I don't think that it could have been as successful without her help. Not to mention mixing the acupuncture with her Medical Qi-Gong abilities really helped to clear my emotional blocks and PTSD. The clinic itself is clean, professional and very similar to a Western medical office. Featuring multiple rooms for treatments, massage, skincare, a community treatment room (sliding scale), personal coaching, and more. The staff is professional and the decor is cozy with soft music and hot tea. I really feel at home when I go there and thanks to the sliding scale prices. I see Lishanna from 2-4 times a month! Treat yourself to self-care and good health and try this clinic out for healing and acupuncture...you won't regret it! read more

Several months ago I received a terrifying and potentially deadly diagnosis. While I waited to be seen at Stanford I did a bit of research and decided to begin seeing Daniele Uzes at People's Integrative Medicine and Acupuncture. Daniele researched the problem(s) and came up with a plan she presented to me. While I work with a couple of other people,she is the key player and designer of my treatment and my test results show I am making great progress and have postponed (hopefully indefinitely)the heavy duty chemicals that have been proposed to me by traditional Western medicine. Daniele is very wise, very perceptive, dedicated and utterly kind. She is fresh and eager, keeps her word, and has more than her share of compassion. I appreciate her so much it is difficult to find the words to express it. Of all the gifts she has given me, the greatest of these is hope. Thank you, Daniele, and staff. read more

I've been coming here for only a couple months and already consider it a saving grace of my long, stifled journey of restoring my many health issues. It is a calm simple, tasteful atmosphere and the practioners are competent and thorough. I feel like I have their undivided attention when i come in. I've had much better luck with acupuncture treatments here than with other places. But my real praise and appreciation is for the Qi Gong treatments I receive weekly from Lishanna. I've received many similar treatments throughout my life and this has worked the best for me. It has helped with a range of different health problems (insomnia, ligament damage, depression etc.) I strongly feel that these treatments can and should be used for even more dire situations and further progressed illnesses (cancer cases in particular). Please go see her! read more

I had been suffering from depression and mild to severe back pain for many years. It's hard enough to get up and deal with your day when you're physically injured, but the mental fatigue drains you the most, by far. After some forceful (yet loving) deliberation from my wife, she insisted that i visit her acupuncturist Sandra Subotich. I have to say i was very skeptical, but just after our first session i felt something strange. It felt like waking up for the first time. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it but i guess you could say i felt young again. I've had several sessions so far and my back pain has subsided considerably and my mind is clearer than it has ever been. Sandra has dug me out of a deep hole and i cannot thank her enough. I know who i am again, and that in my opinion is one of the greatest gifts one can get. read more

The treatments were incredibly healing for my soul, and of course the soul and body are connected :) So, the interns started focusing on helping me with digestion and pain. By choice, I've had only interns, with the supervision of licensed practitioners working with me. A supervisor and a licensed practitioner, Maria Mitchell (a GENIUS!) has been especially helpful. These sessions are $27 and last more than an hour. Try getting that at a traditional doctor's office! The sessions are very thorough...lots of questions to find out how I'm doing and about my body's good and bad indicators. To be left in the room with needles in place, quiet and in the dark as is my preference, is transformational. Three years out, I feel so much better about my body's ability and capacity to heal, all with the guidance of these wise young interns and their supervisors. My weekly visit is such a wonderful treat to myself. I consider it part of my regimen, just as I exercise and eat right, to keep my body healthy.
