Wow. What an incredible, gentle, one of kind personal experience. David heard all of mine and my husband's concerns, we were treated not just with years of experience but personal questions answered . He was such a delight. I suggest anyone new to acupuncture has to visit. Myself & my husband have been getting acupuncture for years, but the way David speaks with you & talks you threw the process you feel so safe and seen, I have no doubt a first timer would leave wanting to come Back. We you David, thanks for the Big Bear recommendation. I can definitely see us making an excuse to be back in Joshua Tree, if it's just me to see you again. Xo Kay read more

I was extrememly ill when I arrived at David Cohen's office in12/24. I was a climate refugee from the Asheville hurricane, had gotten sepsis from contaminated water and almost died, then had to flee Asheville. Although the infection itself was gone, the side effects from 7 days of intravenous anti-biotics almost killed me. David listened to my complicated story, did acupuncture, prescribed herbs and I saw him every week for 6 weeks until all the symptoms abated. My total healing never would have occurred if it had not been for a very intelligent, caring and knowlegeable acupuncturist who had the ability to put all the pieces together to come up with a definitive protocol to bring me back to optimum health. If your medical issues are complicated, intense and not addressed by Western medicine, go see David Cohen. I don't think I'd be alive today if it weren't for the brilliant, kind expertise of this incredible doctor. read more

My very first acupuncture experience has been with Doctor David Cohen and it has been wonderful! I came to him because i have been suffering from terrible headaches for approximately 3 years having hit my head in an accident. Firstly David took the time to speak to me in depth about my symptoms, then after my first treatment the tension i had been experiencing eased hugely. I have now had a few treatments and my head and neck are giving me so much less pain and he is working on improving the tinnitus i have also suffered from since the accident. I intend to make these visits a regular part of my life as my general health feels so much better and i find the treatment so therapeutic and worthwhile. David is professional and very kind and really gets to the heart of the issue. I can't praise or thank him enough for the improvement in my quality of life. read more

Dr. David Cohen is a lifesaver. He saw me when I needed a boost and he was so kind and took extra time to make sure I got treated and went out of his way to see me to make sure I got the proper treatment. He helped me so much and is so kind and knowledgeable and I most definite recommend him and his wife's practice. read more

David Cohen is absolutely wonderful! On my first initial visit he made me feel at ease and comfortable. I should mention I am not a fan of needles, even though I have had many acupuncture treatments before. He is mindful with his work and I always feel lighter when leaving his office. I have become a regular patient and look forward to our weekly visits as I haven't felt this good in a VERY long time. Thats thanks to David and his practice. One million percent recommend! read more

I went to see David Cohen with asthma symptoms and low energy. I had no experience with acupuncture and was a little skeptical. David's warmth, humor, and wisdom put me at ease. He's a deep well of knowledge and advice. His treatments - needles and tinctures - and his breathing technique recommendations cured me of my symptoms within a few weeks. He's got a philosophical soul too and a kind spirit. One of those natural healers that makes the quality of your life better. Thank you for your help, David! read more

I have had such wonderful, relaxing and most importantly- pain relieving experiences here with David!! I came in with significant back knot and back pain issues and he took the time to listen to me, talk about the pain, identify where it was and give me caring and fulfilling acupuncture treatments that truly targeted the pain and made me feel immediate relief. He's the best!! read more

I suffer from chronic pain and have since approximately 1982 from an injury while serving in the Marines. I spend the majority of my time in pain, ranging anywhere on an average day from a 3-4 to a 10. Over the years management of my pain has been hit or miss. (mostly miss) with the Main Avenue of approach to be medication, which leaves me sick to my stomach unable to focus not able to drive, and many things I can't do for myself. I have recently found dr. Cohen through the VA...! (Que music! ) At a time in my life when there was mostly pain and the feeling of futility. I am finally beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I only wish I could have done this years ago! Unfortunately this type of care has not been taken seriously until recently! Thank GOD!! If you are in pain... you absolutely cannot go wrong by trying acupuncture with dr. Cohen! And for those of you who have never tried it trust me... you will ask yourself why in the world I did not try this sooner... It's all about quality of life folks, and if you want a good quality of life you can get it back here! read more

The level of professionalism and knowledge was refreshing. Having lived in Japan and all over Asia for a better part of my life and experience Chinese medicine first hand. All my concerns and apprehensions from past experience here in the US where put to rest quickly. David's knowledge of his practice was and is apparent and his bedside manner, calm demeanor comes through in his voice and when he is working on me. A five star rating is to low in my opinion read more

David was very professional. His office is very comfortable and professional. I have had ailments of for years that just 12 visits to David have relieved. I am very impressed. I had never tried acupuncture before and thanks to David I am sold on this procedure now! read more

As someone who deals with chronic pain and illness, it is rare to find a doctor who doesn't simply attempt to treat a symptom or two, but rather focuses and truly cares about healing and treating me as a whole person. I have always hoped to find a doctor that believes that there is possibility for health in my future, and Dr. David Cohen has truly done that for me. He is thorough, diligent, dedicated, kind, and incredibly knowledgable. From my first appointment with him, I left feeling hopeful and cared for and most importantly, I already felt a bit better both physically and mentally. Each time I am being treated by David, I always think to myself, "I wish everyone could be treated by him". I would recommend David to anyone I love and care about, and I feel so lucky to have found him! David is one of the best doctors I have ever seen, and trust me, the list is extensive!! You cannot go wrong under his care!! read more

David Cohen saved my Life! I had been struggling with debilitating migraines for years. they were continually getting worse. I gave western medicine many chances and they just got worse. I finally decided to give acupuncture a try when a friend heard of my malady and he recommended David to me. Best decision I have ever made. Noone has ever made the pain go away like him. I've been in the middle of a migraine and he has either moved or made the pain subside. When normally I would be out for a few days with Davids help I am able to function the next day. I trust him with my family. He's helped my wife out and I truly believe I have a son now because of his help. If you have tried everything and nothing is working give acupuncture a shot. You've got nothing to lose and David is the skilled master. I have been to places when he's not around and no one can touch his skill level. read more

I came to the JT area to escape the city for a bit. I've always struggled with ringing in my ears but the contrast of being used to the city and now finding myself in total silence made it unbearable. It got so much worse and I had tremendous knots in my neck from the stress of it. David was able to squeeze me in the same day and I had a dramatic improvement in my neck, headaches and ear ringing as a result of his treatment. He's very kind and thorough and helped me tremendously. Very thankful! read more

Dr. David Cohen has been a significant catalyst in my positive health management for over 20 years. From knees and back to cancer he is PHENOMENAL! I began treatment with David about 20 years ago, initially for back pain, for which he helped alleviate the pain and regain movement. I continued with Dr. Cohen periodically for back issues which improved increasingly. A few years later, in 2003, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my first call was to Dr. Cohen to schedule acupuncture and herbs to prepare for my bilateral mastectomy. My body was prepared and the surgery went well. My reconstruction was a TRAM flap, in which the surgeons moved my lower abs to my breast area, which served as transplanted breast tissue. The tissue needed to adhere to its new home, and there was a portion which was not "happy", so the docs thought it might have to be removed due to the death of the tissue. I am convinced that Dr. Cohen's acupuncture and the accompanying Chinese herbs revived the tissue which is alive and well in its new home to this day! Over the decades Dr. Cohen has treated my knees and back periodically, but now that breast cancer has returned 14 years later, I have treatment 3x per week to assure my body (Chi) will be strong enough to defend itself against the chemo and accompanying side effects. Once again, upon diagnosis, Dr. Cohen was my FIRST call to prepare my body for healing. His treatments and herbs are the foundation for my healing. It is unfortunate I have to drive at least 1 1/4 hours each way to enjoy his expertise, but every minute is worth it. His office is professional and aesthetically pleasing and his staff are most helpful and understanding. You must try Dr. Cohen for your acupuncture and Chinese herb needs. He will bring you to new heights of health. read more

I had surgery 3 years ago to remove a fibroid from my uterus along with a dermoid cyst. Since then new fibroids have grown and the bleeding in between cycles has come back. My only option would be continued surgeries until menopause or a total hysterectomy, which would come with new sets of hormonal imbalances and issues. Dr David Cohen came highly recommended by a dear friend of mine. I've been seeing him now for 6 months for the uterine bleeding and the results are impeccable. He started me out on acupuncture and Chinese herbs. We experimented with some different formulas and have since found the right one. It's balancing my hormones, which has reduced the bleeding in between my cycles and altered my mood for the better. Dr Cohen is very in tune with his craft and always knows how I'm doing just based on my pulses alone. I have dealt with several life events in the last 6 months, including loss of multiple family members and he's helped to maintain balance during these times. He has made me a believer in him and Chinese medicine! I highly recommend him to anyone with medical issues, especially uterine bleeding. read more

The best acupuncturist I've ever been to: Very kind and caring, really takes his time with you and his office is very quiet and peaceful. I'd still be going to him if he took Blue Shield insurance! I always felt much better after a visit - he really knows what he's doing! read more

I had been ill for 9 months before I saw David Cohen. I had unrelenting, constant diarrhea which no one at Kaiser could diagnose. David Cohen has given me my life back. I am still not cured, but with the tincture and herbs he has given me, I rarely have diarrhea. Moreover, he is kind, caring, listens carefully to what I have to say. In all he is a compassionate wonderful person who knows exactly what he is doing and why. I recommend him most highly. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Cohen for more than 12 years now. I was reluctant to start seeing someone for Acupuncture, I was nervous about the whole thing. Well I was introduced to Dr. Cohen and the rest is history. He made me feel very comfortable and talked me through the process and it doesn't hurt. The best part is it helps everything. I have been using it for pain management and for the tension in my neck and shoulders. I have been able to stay away from narcotic pain management drugs and just use the acupuncture and the mild pills that my doctor does prescribe. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen! read more

David M. Cohen is an accupunturist who also specializes in herbal medicine. I decided to start riding the bus. Two weeks later I was sick and coughing. Once a week treatments helped me to feel better and his herbal remedies cleared my lungs and stopped my cough. I have begun to learn how to take responsibility for my health, especially to release the anxiety, through "Dr." Cohen's treatments and the phenomenon of feeling my energy shift to calm during the treatments. Unless you are the Dalai Lama, you can benefit from David M. Cohen's work. Go. read more

After 3 very difficult years searching for a new acupuncturist after a move to LA from SF, David was worth the wait. He brings decades of professional experience and marries it to a rock solid intuition and deeply caring manner. I have a litany of issues that fly mainly under autoimmune, hormonal and musculoskeletal diagnoses. Within a few sessions, I was seeing significant benefit from the treatments. When we added his master practitioner skills in Chinese herbs, the recovery in my health from a 3 year downward spiral has been dramatic. Particularly in recovering healthy sleep patterns, reducing whole body inflammation, reducing pain naturally and without side effects, and increasing brain function. I have been treated by likely 40 acupuncturists since an accident at 17 yrs of age. David ranks in the most proficient and effective practitioners I have ever experienced, and my bar is set extremely high. I highly recommend David to anyone looking to explore acupuncture for the first time, and for those with a rich history of acupuncture and Chinese medicine to consider him as a valuable resource to expand within your networks. read more

Dr. Cohen puts the care back in health care. He has been my primary doctor for 15 years. I now get acupuncture regularly and it keeps me healthy. He has brought me back to good health and helps me maintain a strong immune system. I very rarely catch whatever virus is "going around" anymore. He uses Chinese herbs to treat what a "western" doctor would treat with antibiotics. Very effective with no side effects. Dr. Cohen also helped me through a miscarriage and subsequent pregnancy. His warm, caring and light hearted manner are a comfort. He truly treats the whole person. I cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

Dr Cohen is by far the most advanced, articulate, informative, compassionate,unconditionally professional on every level as a accupunturist. He from the very beginning strategized my treatment according to the formulation and advancement of my neuropathy from accessing the cause and then approaching the proper treatment schedule to put my neuropathy in remission or to best give me relief from the unbelievable pain that comes with this disease. I can't stress enough his compassion his emphathy and his love of what he does and the most important his unconditional knowledge of my disease. I have never been to a doctor who in every way puts the patient first and his practice second in relation to accomadating the patient both financially and professionally ! He has a spiritually loving bedside manner and his consustency as s doctor and as a human being is hard to find in Los Angeles . I feel that I have finally found a doctor to treat this awful disease who deserves s five star rating. read more

Aside from his wealth of knowledge and decades of experience, he has excellent people skills and knows how to make his patients feel comfortable.
