I want to begin by saying that I very rarely write reviews, but it is no understatement to say that…read moreDr. Shiva Lalezar has truly changed my life. In 2022 I was diagnosed with endometriosis by another doctor after suffering unheard for years and underwent surgery and received an IUD. Some of my symptoms improved, but I was still experiencing debilitating digestive, hormonal, and sleep disturbance issues that were severely impacting my quality of life and my ability to function normally. Enter Dr. Shiva and her staff. From the very first phone call in spring 2023 I felt so heard, welcomed, and cared for, and that has continued to be my experience every visit since. Dr. Shiva asks questions I had never been asked before, and was so thorough in her developing her understanding of my problems. She diagnosed iron, b12, and vitamin d deficiencies with a full panel blood test immediately. Not only that, she diagnosed my sibo shortly after and the treatment plan she gave me was successful. The most important aspect of my care, however, has been my hormone therapy. I was suffering from a vicious cycle of severe estrogen dominance that not only was contributing to my endometriosis pain and inflammation symptoms, but was also disrupting my sleep, thinning my hair, and giving me terrible anxiety. She immediately knew what to do- the excess of estrogen in my body was causing me to produce near negligible amounts of my own testosterone, and I was put on bio-identical hormone pellet therapy. Within a matter of a few weeks I felt like a completely new person. I lost weight, my hair and nails got stronger, my insomnia disappeared, and my stress levels plummeted. When we combined the testosterone with a short course of ultra low dose tirzepatide, I lost ten pounds of stubborn fat and inflammation that had bothered me for years and have maintained a healthy weight on my own ever since. I truly cannot thank Dr. Shiva enough for what she has done for me, and I cannot recommend her services more highly if you are not receiving the care that you deserve from another practice.

I was extremely frustrated by constant headaches, fatigue, and repeated infections. It wasn't until…read moreI went to the Health & Vitality Center and saw Dr. Shiva Lalezar that we discovered I had metal poisoning. She helped me eliminate the metals, and it completely changed my life. My energy levels soared, and I feel better than ever. Thank you Dr. Lalezar for all that you did!

I searched LA for months to find a practitioner that performs neural therapy. I was lucky enough to…read morefind Dr. Hirani, a holistic and functional medicine physician in Culver City. I have had 4 neural therapy sessions with her and the changes in me are substantial! I feel like a fog has lifted, I wake up early now and am wide awake, instead of lying in bed until the absolute last minute. I am not a lover of exercise but found the energy to work out in the afternoon which I have never done before! I have way more energy now and my scars have practically disappeared. Dr. Hirani also performs the Frankenhauser injections which is rare and these injections are so necessary for everyone but especially for woman who have had kids or menopause. They reset your body to function the way it's supposed to. After the injections, I realized that I was somewhat depressed but now I have a positive outlook and a stronger libido. As part of her neural therapy sessions Dr Hirani provides neural chakra therapy which combines ayurvedic tequiniques and meditation. She basically injects all of the chakras and opens them up during meditation. It's a unique experience that stabilizes your energy and your chakras which affects how your body and mind functions. I feel like a new person and I lost 5 pounds without even changing anything! I highly recommend neural therapy! Dr. Hirani's office is warm and energizing with any many crystals to stabilize and promote healing. Nurse Toby is amazing, as are the front desk team. I cannot recommend Dr Hirani and her team enough!

I am very unsatisfied with the treatment I received at this office. I was charged $400 for a cash…read morevisit, and then denied the dose that I needed. I communicated that very clearly to doctor, and yet she was careless and not helpful. It took more that seven business days for medicine to arrive, and dose had no effect. Besides that the reception seems to not want to answer phone calls, eventually I had to email, and I got some responses back, very very partial and limited in nature. One of the worst doctors I have ever seen. Very deceiving. Don't waste your money.

She came highly recommended, though I was initially skeptical about working with a naturopathic doctor. In retrospect, I didn't fully understand the practice. Dr. Britton integrates traditional Western medical protocols when appropriate, but also offers holistic solutions that proved surprisingly effective. Above all, she leads a professional practice that clearly puts patients first, and her staff reflect her warmth and thoughtful approach to care. She is a great find!

She's incredibly knowledgeable and has effectively addressed my chronic health concerns (autoimmune diseases, GI issues, and hormone imbalances). Prior to seeing Dr. Britton I wasn't enjoying life to the fullest since I constantly felt sick. Now I rarely get sick; I have more energy and endurance than I've ever had; my mood feels more stable, and my chronic symptoms are mostly gone or at most mildly impacting me. I couldn't be more grateful for the services Dr. Britton offers and the impact she's had on my life.

In my mid-40s, I was struggling with debilitating fatigue, joint pain, chronic hives, weight gain,…read moreand several autoimmune issues. I had seen multiple doctors and specialists, was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and spent years on prednisone and other strong medications, yet I still felt like no one was getting to the root of what was happening. Finding Dr. Perrin was truly life-changing. She took the time to look at the whole picture my symptoms, thyroid, gut health, hormones, mold exposure, and lab work--and methodically worked through each issue. It wasn't an overnight fix, but within the first year I was active and exercising again and finally felt like myself. I've now been seeing Dr. Perrin for over three years and just turned 50. I've lost the weight I gained, my energy is back, and I genuinely feel better at 50 than I did in my mid-40s. I trust Dr. Perrin so much that I now have my older adult daughter seeing her as well, so she can start her own health journey on the right path from the beginning. If you've been going from doctor to doctor without finding answers, I cannot recommend Dr. Perrin highly enough.

I don't even know where to start Dr Perrin is flat out an amazing doctor. I've had stomach/gut…read moreissues since I was a kid and as I've gotten older it's naturally gotten worse. I've seen so many GI doctors and my regular primary care doctor (PPO) for my issues. I've had a lot of endoscopy's - tests - medications - everything you can think of and they never really solved my issues. Anyways when I finally got to see her she kinda went through my health history and asked a lot of questions regarding my symptoms. Forgot to mention you fill out a thorough form before she sees you so she already has an idea of what is going on before you see her in person. With that she knew exactly what I needed to fix (changes in diet-probiotics-lifestyle changes) and she started me on this treatment regimen and after just a few weeks I already feel so much better that honestly I can't believe it. I couldn't thank her enough cause even though it's only the beginning it's the first time I'm actually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Lastly wanted to mention how clean and nice her office is and Vivian who works for Dr Perrin is amazing in following up and getting you everything you need. Thank You Dr Perrin!

Okay, first of all, I have never written a yelp review before. I just use it to stare at images of…read morefood at 3am in bed, and the thought of leaving a review has never really crossed my mind. But now things have changed. I randomly checked this page realizing I haven't had the opportunity to look at my favorite doctor's yelp yet and wow, reading some of the negative comments below, I was furious and had to speak the truth!!!!!!! I have been feeling sick and abnormal from chronic Lyme disease for a long time, but wasn't diagnosed till 2 years ago. I was seeing a different doctor at first, but due to long distance, I searched for a doctor in LA. Like countless others who have Lyme disease or other chronic illnesses, I was misdiagnosed and mistreated continuously that by this point I had lost faith in most doctors. But one thing I know now is that I was wrong. There are doctors out there that care!!! Yes, Dr. Sciabbarrasi might be expensive, but what freaking doctor isn't?!?! It is the medical system in this country which plays a huge role in this phenomenon and that is obvious. The high cost of these private practices are the result of insurance companies and the medical establishment's neglect to care for the chronically ill. These practitioners are forced to work outside the system. And either way,,I have never gone to a "cheap" doctor ever in this country so why blame him? Doctors work their asses off their whole lives to get to where they are, and as a result their service becomes a bit pricey. Everyone on my mom's side of the family are doctors, so I have seen the years they put into this career-path, it is not a joke. And frankly, legitimate doctors like Dr. Sciabbarrasi do not deserve negative comments whatsoever. My intention isn't to focus this review on the nonsense that others have said, but let me just get this straight for prospective patients who might encounter this yelp page. 1. To the "he does too many lab work" comment = He does a ton of tests to get to the bottom of your illness,,Helloo?! What else would you expect,,, him to look at you and instantly know what's wrong? He has helped me figure out countless issues since I started seeing him, crossing off any potential causes that could be worsening my illness, etc. He also patiently listens to any possibilities that I personally would've found through research, and will work with you to get to the bottom of your disease. He is by no means a pushy doctor who shoves his opinions down your throat but a very cooperative doctor who makes you feel as an individual that your opinions matter and that you're safe in his hands :). 2. To the "he was shuffling through files during my consultation" comment = doctors are busy!!!! They help hundreds of people, and doctors are human beings too. Obviously they will shuffle through files on some occasions..that does not reflect his worth as a doctor at all. Lastly, I personally don't see what is wrong with him giving himself an IV. I can't even think of one reason why that would freak me out. Is it weird if chefs are tasting their food while cooking? Or is it weird if a dentist is brushing his own teeth at the office? No. Maybe he wasn't feeling well that day, but came into work regardless to help his patients, and that's why he did the IV. Honestly, Who cares? Dr. Sciabbarrasi is nothing but a kind, compassionate, and a very knowledgable human being. I wish he was my uncle or a relative so I could always talk to him, too bad I'm not Italian!!! He helped me out extremely while I was going through a difficult time not too long ago. Not just medically, but emotionally as well, with his care and wisdom. My boyfriend and I teared up because of his amazing motivational words and advice. I even shared what he said on a Lyme disease Facebook page and everyone loved it. He stayed in his office until 9pm talking to us when he could've checked out hours before to go home and eat his Italian meatballs. God, he is such a boss and just amazing to the moon and back. So if anyone miraculously has read my comment this far, I truly would recommend him as a doctor. I am actually surprised at how passionate I've gotten while writing this, but that's how kick ass he is :). Not to mention, he is also funny and just makes you feel happy and hopeful every time you come in for a visit. Also, his staff is super awesome!! They are so so helpful and always tries to squeeze me in his busy day if there is an emergency. Those fierce ladies are always on top of their game & most importantly, they are so nice and fun, I actually look forward to going to a doctor's office!!!! Seeing them and talking to them cheers me up & helps me get through my illness, so thank you Joy, Irma and Bianca :)!!!! I could write a thousand more things as to why he is a great doctor, but I will stop here because this review is probably yelp's longest review in history & I'm not even sure if it'll fit. YAY to Dr. Sciabbarrasi, we love you to the max!

It's so sad how people take advantage of you when you are sick and you are seeking them for help. If you think you have Lyme please go visit dr Ellie Goldstein in Santa Monica. He will run a proper lab tests and lead you to the right path
