Expressing my gratitude to the Jorge and staff at Koi Wellbeing who supported me and my family in ameliorating symptoms of MTFHR and autoimmune. Even after leaving La Jolla, the team still consults and provides their services. KOI's pricing is the best in CA. I have since lived in the central coast and now San Francisco where vitamin shots are double the cost. Strongly recommend Koi Wellbeing for health management. read more

Deborah Wainwright did not leave the state, she is still in San Diego and I currently go see her for my treatments. She has a lovely office and still deeply cares about my wellbeing. Be careful, I received a Yelp notification that Jeff the business owner had responded to me and i failed to look at his adjustments. I went to view his response and noticed he is not being accurate. You can see my yelp reviews on this business as I visited Deborah Wainwright for a several years before she left this organization. Listen when people tell you who they are. Drove by Koi wellbeing and Deborah Wainwright's photo is still on the front screen. Which is odd in itself. Jeff and I chatted before when I left my initial review, I adjusted that review based on that conversation. Now I see Jeff added more content and is straight up not being factual in his response and using my review as his launching pad. read more

KOI Wellbeing - Response to my review. Jeff is well aware of Deborah Wainwright being in SD as we chatted about it during our call. - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - La Jolla, California

I'd give 6/5 stars if I could! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the intention behind everything- beautiful natural light, calming aesthetics, and a genuinely thoughtful client experience. As a healthcare provider myself, I'm very discerning about where I receive care. It has to feel comprehensive, evidence-informed, and rooted in true service... and Koi Well-Being exceeded my expectations. I originally came in for an IV infusion when I was feeling run down and immune-challenged, and I left not only feeling physically better but deeply cared for. I also had the chance to connect with the owner, Jeff, whose knowledge and sincerity are immediately apparent. You can tell this isn't a trend-driven wellness space -it's a naturopathic and integrative health center that prioritizes research, safety, and truly personalized care. What stood out most is their mission: helping people get to the root cause of their health concerns rather than masking symptoms. Whether someone is navigating autoimmune challenges, gut health issues, chronic fatigue, or simply wanting to optimize their wellbeing, this is the kind of place that partners with you in your health journey. Bonus- it's located in the charming Bird Rock neighborhood and absolutely worth the drive if you're not nearby. Wholeheartedly recommend!!! read more

KOI Wellbeing - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - La Jolla, California

Absolutely amazing. The staff is truly skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. Their products are superb. Third time i have been back and will continue to go as long as they are there. read more

I can't say enough great things about KOI! They actually dig into why you're feeling the way you do. My energy, sleep, and digestion have improved so much thanks to the team at KOI. If you've been thinking about trying functional medicine you have to visit KOI. read more

I was a patient at Koi when Dr. Wainwright was there, but since Koi hired Connie, the Nurse Practitioner, the care has been beyond my expectations. I have also had the pleasure of meeting the Naturopathic Doctor (Jose Saucedo) and he was very kind and knowledgeable as well. I've always had top notch care with Koi, but they have recently upgraded when it comes to their practitioners, and I can't say enough about them. I highly, highly recommend Koi. read more

"I just got Botox at KOI Wellbeing and I absolutely love my results! The whole experience was super easy and comfortable -- the team explained everything and made me feel totally at ease. My results look so natural, just refreshed and smooth. I'm honestly obsessed and can't wait to come back!" read more

I tried to see a doctor here and followed up with them 4 times about coming in. No appointment was ever made. C They must be doing well and must not need new patients. I was pretty disappointed. I think they are collecting healthcare data for something other than getting patients because the questionnaire was very time consuming and detailed. read more

Can't say enough about the staff, the attention to detail when it came to my health and addressing my needs! I've been going to koi for their tailor made IV treatments and I've never felt better. Strongly recommend them. read more

"I've been going to KOI Wellbeing for help with my PCOS and they've honestly been amazing! The team is super caring and really knows their stuff. For the first time, I feel like my hormones are finally getting balanced and I actually have my energy back. Couldn't recommend them more!" read more

Recently stopped by Koi Wellbeing to purchase some hydration packets. Jeff, the owner, has an amazing office. It's location it prime, his prices are great, and his passion is unmatched. Highly recommend! read more

Life changing. I am beyond grateful. I have been searching for answers, support and the right treatment and finally found it at Koi. Debra Wainwright and her staff are such a pleasure to interact with. Ease, efficiency and care from start to finish. I am amazed that she can see so much with her testing. And that she was able to create a treatment plan that so seamlessly integrated into my health&wellbeing. I've not felt this good in years. Again, so so very grateful. read more

A friend and I were wandering around LJ/Birdrock recently and happened into KOI... Melz was working and she was phenomenal; so amiable, knowledgeable and interesting to talk to! She is a real gem!!! (She also gave my friend a sample to try for a condition--which helped---and she followed up with my friend to assist her in getting more.) I came back on my own to get an IV/push. Rebel was my nurse--very cool person. The place is very clean & overall very comfortable and I look forward to coming back. read more

PRP for Golfer's Elbow - I was referred to Dr. Lutfy by a colleague of mine to help manage an issue with my elbow. I spoke to Dr. Lutfy on the phone and loved her personality immediately, even threw her some other unrelated health questions I had and she was eager to seek out the information to help or to point me in the right direction. I met the doctor at Koi Wellbeing, and was pleasantly surprised by the feeling of such a clean environment only a block from the beach (but, it is La Jolla, so...). Either way, the staff to check me in was great, welcoming and, though I was going to be dealing with needles that day (NOT a fan of needles), I felt very comfortable being there. Dr. Lutfy spent much more time than I would have expected with me. She geeked out with her sonogram on my elbow, pointed things out to me, taught me some things I didn't know, and even took a look at a shoulder that has been aching me. WAY above and beyond to this point. I had blood drawn, and as I mentioned I'm not a fan, but this was quick, and I barely felt anything. Clearly the guy is an excellent marksman with the needle, and I was finished so quickly :-) While by blood was being spun for the PRP, the doctor checked-out my shoulders (again, unrelated to my visit) and I got to know her a little better. Once the material came back, Dr. Lutfy injected the plasma into my elbow, and though I could definitely feel it, I wasn't woosy at all and it really didn't take much time at all. I am currently only four days post injection and have experienced no pain or discomfort associated with the injection. The healing time shall be much more time than the four days up to this point, but even though I have to wait to use my arm as I normally would, I am extremely happy with the service, procedure and cost associated with trying to get my arm healthy. I highly recommend Koi Wellbeing and Dr. Lutfy to anyone who may be interested in seeing if PRP injections are suitable for them. In addition, because this is the end of June 2020 (COVID), Koi also does COVID tests and antibodies tests. Since I was there I requested an impromptu antibodies test which they did for me not problem. Again, I had to have blood drawn, and again it was quick and painless! read more

KOI Wellbeing - Looks like it might be posting upside down, but that's my plasma and that's Dr. Lutfy! :-D - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - La Jolla, California

Had a wonderful experience with Jen! Had to do a last minute PCR test for travel and was beyond frazzled because I was just made aware that day. She provided me with all the information I needed and then some. It was a little bit more expensive than I usually pay but for the convenience and the way I was treated ... it was well worth it. read more

Amazing expertise, kindness, and thoroughness in all treatment. From the moment you step foot in the Koi Wellbeing office, you will feel cared for and respected. Deb Wainwright does not disappoint in grasping the entire picture of your health and providing a holistic treatment plan. She takes the time to ask questions, listen and to treat YOU, as an individual. She is kind, and passionate about her care. Truly the best. read more

Would not do my Covid test because they said they could not come to the parking lot to perform it, even though that's what I was instructed to do. said they could not leave the clinic with no one at the front desk even fir 10 min. I drove by, there was no one in the clinic at the time. Would not let come inside either. Attitude was if the whole business would come to screeching halt if someone left a "be back in 10 min." note on the window. read more

KOI Wellbeing - Their confirmation email. It also does not give their phone number or address. - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - La Jolla, California

I'm traveling from Miami and have a busy schedule so I booked IV Vitamin therapy which keeps me healthy. I prefer Functional Medicine and I've been to many IV clinics. Few clinics provide both. I loved my experience at KOI. Everything was clean, comfortable, and staff was attentive. Dr. Myers was so knowledgeable that I almost wish I lived in La Jolla so I could have her as my primary. KOI has so much more to offer than just IV Therapy and I know from experience that Integrative Medicine is truly about health and finding a cure. read more

Made appointment online. Walk up COVID rapid antigen test, results delivered to email in 15 minutes. For PCR they only accept self pay at the moment. Super easy, no drama. read more

I've done two of the IV infusions here and both times I ended up vomiting for days after. The first time I didn't even make it to my car before throwing up all over the sidewalk and continued to vomit for the next 2 days. It was about a week until I could hold down food again. I assumed I had a stomach bug and the timing of the iv infusion was coincidental. After the second experience, I'm sure it's not coincidence. I didn't even make it out of the room before I was throwing up and this continued into the next day. I asked the girl unplugging me if it was normal to get nauseous from it and she said that if I had an empty stomach, it might be the vitamin c that caused the nausea (I had just ate a big meal, which she soon saw for herself). The vomiting was so bad that I had to pull over on my way home and have someone else come drive me. I had to call I'm sick to work for the next two days. It's been 4 days since this experience and I'm still suffering from a pounding headache as well as a sensitive stomach. I will never return and would advise anyone else to stay clear of their iv/injections. I'm traumatized from this experience and would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Their are so many reasons I love this place. First off. "Clean" aspires one day to be this place. It's immaculate. I'm not OCD but I bring my OCD friends here. I'm basically a hero. PRO's 1.Front of the house. Any and every time I call or walk in, both of the receptionist/nursing assistants are always friendly and really helpful. Yesterday I was with a friend waiting for a "mom shot" and we were curious about our recent blood work. She pulled it right up and told me what I wanted to know within seconds right there at the front desk. These women know their products and what they don't know, they find out. 2. ****SHOTS AND INFUSIONS!!!!*** Like I said yesterday I wasn't feeling well and neither was my friend so we just gave them a call and asked if we could come in and get two shots we were in and out within minutes and today I feel amazing. Before Covid if I was going to travel I would get their immune infusion or the immunity shot just to boost me up for the plane flight. 3. The spectacular OG Nurse ...who is used to treating people in the back of a fire Dept ambulance racing through the mayhem. If you don't like shots or getting bloodwork, be prepared to be amazed. She is THE BEST phlebotomist I've had, ever. My veins roll, they flip and I'm always dehydrated.... bring it on. She is magic. The Hormone Maestra!! Dr. Deborah Wainwright is the most knowledgeable hormone specialists I've seen. She is not an endocrinologist. ***However, I would strongly suggest that anyone who is being treated by an endocrinologist, consult with Dr. Wainwright as well. I've been seen by three amazing, top rated endocrinologists in San Diego over the last 13 years. Ive had low testosterone and progesterone since my early 30s. Ive also had thyroid symptoms that couldn't be pinpointed and therefor went untreated because of insurance testing/treatment protocols (more on that in a sec).... Oh, and sleep? Nope. I hadn't felt rested in a decade and I'd mysteriously gained weight over the last 2 years while on a daily exercise/healthy-ish diet. I had to get bigger "fat jeans" ...twice. I made my first appointment with Dr.Wainwright 9 months ago. I was 45, tired, lethargic, 5 foot 10 inches and 200lbs. During my first (free) consultation with Dr. Wainwright I told her everything and didn't leave anything embarrassing out because I was so defeated. The stuff I am most self conscious about, she specializes in. She ordered a plethora of bloodwork which was a breeze. Two weeks later I returned and she'd found my thyroid T3 deficiency along with a felony low vitamin D and a very sad and undetectable testosterone level. I started a natural T3 thyroid supplement along with a bio identical progesterone that is extracted from yams and compounded locally by our very own competitively priced, next day by mail, compounding pharmacy, Good Pharma. For the grand finale .....I IMMEDIATELY STARTED PELLET THERAPY AND ITS AWESOME! It's Almost March 2021. I'm almost rockin my regular jeans and I'm back down to a solid 164ish lbs. I sleep like a baby and the emotional mine field is back to a thinly veiled cynicism with optimistic overtones (progesterone). I can think clearly, my hair and skin are healthier, my double chin is back to single happiness (T3) ***and sex no longer looks like kale salad**. If you've gotten this far you know what I mean and let me tell you .... their is no reason for any man or woman to struggle ....as we get into our late 30's, 40's, 50's n up our hormones change. Birth control, smoking, stress and any number of environmental exposures can affect our hormones and mineral absorption as well... I know at least 15 people that see Dr.Wainwright and we have all benefited immensely. I got my life back. 4. The Alternative medicine, Naturopath, Warrior Of Radness practitioner. Now that my fangs have been removed and I'm back in the land of the smiling people. I'd like to be able to find my keys and stay focused on things even if their not shiny. I'd also like to at least try to avoid any avoidable hereditary diseases that I'm predisposed to. Most importantly, I'd feel like a jack rabbit and like to look like a supermodel at 98. So I'm seeing Dr. Meyers next week. ......to be continued ;) read more

You ever visit a business that feels like home? That's how I feel when I visit Koi. I instantly feel safe and "home". What makes a successful business is the amazing team they have. The warm welcome you receive from Coree instantly makes you feel at ease. You know your going to be in good hands. She is warm, personable, and patient. She is the nutritionist on site and a must see !!!! I really respect her approach ( you need to experience it firsthand). She goes above and beyond to help make healthier long term lifestyle choices. Watch!!! she may just introduce you to FlowLift and you will be addicted. Full disclosure I look like I have ants in my pants doing it. She is my biggest cheerleader and I'm forever grateful. Dr.Brooke Leverone is another amazing asset to Koi team. She gave me a big reality check on what was going on with my gut, hormones, and my food allergies and it was the best money spent. She put together a comprehensive plan which we reviewed in detail together. I knew the hardest part was going to be the work I needed to do when I left. If only she could live with me for three months. Customer service is so important today. It's what makes you stand out and keeps loyal clients coming back. In year from now we will celebrate the road to wellness that I will have overcome because of you girls. Job well done Koi ! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. As a healthcare practitioner, I find their practices unethical and harmful to potential customers. Beware of this business. My mother and I went here in a very sensitive time in our lives and were treated with ultimate unprofessionalism and rudeness. I had purchased a gift card at a function and first I was questioned that I had used it, even though I purchased it months after the date they claimed I used it. I had to explain that I had been there several times so that was a previous service. Even then I was still treated as this was questionable and it was some sort of favor to honor it, the nurse who was supposed to administer the IV vitamins arrived more than an hour after our appointment time. That means we should have left before that time and he still hadn't even mixed our treatment. When I questioned Rozin at the front desk after almost an hour she answered me with a snap that she told me to change my appointment time so I knew I had to wait. Mind you I made this appointment a week in advance, I was called half an hour before my appointment and was told the nurse would arrive at the time of my appointment so I should come a half hour later but we're welcome to come relax while they mix the IVs that take 15 minutes so we came 15 minutes later to sit and relax. Since I asked her this question she jumped back into questioning my payment!!! Then when the nurse did arrive they spend another 15 minutes calling the owner to talk about my payment! After talking to the owner personally, we were assured we would get our treatment and be on our way. Next thing I know, because my mom was almost in tears and upset at this point the nurse changed his mind to treat us. I literally got to to the point to call the police from their poor treatment of us. I then hear the nurse talking to them calling us "Arabs" , which we are not, but if we had been why use that as a derogatory term and crazy people. Despite our stressful time, I kept my calm and respect the entire time and was treated in a disgusting manner. We left after over 2 hours, no treatment, no refund of payment and shaking with stress. The owner Jeffrey, seen apologizing here for several digressions with customers if you read below, agreed to refund my money within a week and apologized yet after 2 weeks, several attempts to reach him, he did nothing. This place should be out of business. They should not be allowed to make IVs for people and treat them. They don't even have their own staff, they hire out people to administer IVs and make you wait at their mercy until when they arrive. I have never felt so strongly that a business is irreparable and harmful as this. When you are in the 'business' of healthcare and you hurt people instead of help them it's highly unethical. read more

I highly recommend Koi. They are well trained professionals and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. It is my go to for hormone therapy or to get vitamin shots. Definitely try the mom shot! read more

Koi Wellbeing is THE BEST naturopathic practice in all of San Diego. Dr. Leverone and her staff are extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and helpful. I have suffered from fatigue, anxiety, am panic attacks. They have helped my tremendously in my recovery and treatment by identifying on a very gentic and medicinal level both deficiencies and mutations and how to correct the body's natural processes. I am very thankful to have found Koi Wellness. read more

I suffered from horrible menopausal symptoms and was at my wits end. I started bio identical hormone replacement therapy at Koi in November 2021 with a variety of symptoms - hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness, low energy, lack of sleep, and more. I felt a noticeable difference within weeks and now seven months in cannot imagine why I waited so long to try this therapy. It was a total game changer for me, I highly recommend it! read more

Love the products especially leef organics ! The staff is helpful and friendly Wish they had more locations, but otherwise a brilliant concept in Naturopathic healthcare ! read more

This place is the worst. I went to Koi interested in their hormone balancing services. I was referred by a friend. First, I showed up for my scheduled appointment for them only to tell me there must have been a scheduling issue because the doctor was not there. Next, I was quoted a price for this service, and not until after paying the doctor $250 for my initial consultation, was I informed it was going to cost another $150 because they had switched lab providers. During my second consultation to review my lab results, the doctor realized she was missing a test. With what I'm paying for the service, shouldn't she have realized that prior to my appointment? When I got the actual charge from the lab company, it was $180. The doctor had ordered the wrong Thyroid test causing me to be charged an additional $30. I then had to wait another two weeks for lab results. And lastly, to top it all off, after the doctor's recommendations the front desk girl sold me the wrong supplement. I didn't figure it out until a month later when I went to use my $30 credit for a refill. I had been taking the wrong supplement for an entire month. When I asked my friend why she referred me to go there, she informed me... "Oh yeah, meant to tell you, my husband and I don't go there anymore either for the same reasons". read more

Can I just say I have NEVER had such a good experience at a pharmacy/doctors office/testing center as I did this morning at Koi Wellbeing. I'm not a regular patient, I just came in for a rapid PCR test and Jen was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I got my results in time for my flight, while making me feel totally supported and comfortable the entire time. Truly a staff that cares about their patients! Thank you Jen and everyone at Koi for such a great experience read more

Wow....well being? The "new" receptionist can ruin your entire experience before you get in. Skip them. I didn't feel like my well being mattered. First she says they accept checks and I confirmed this TWICE....then I get there super early but she waits till right before my appt to say oops no checks then she was just a snob. Too bad because sadly they came recommended!!! Cant trust all recommendations. For me it's a pass cause no one there has it together in MY OPINION. They messed up my day, dashed Hope and then the receptionist pulled attitude n threw shame, so UNPROFESSIONAL. I highly do NOT recommend this "store front" read more

I made an appointment with Dr. Wainwright with an interest in her specialty - hormone replacement therapy. I was believing the therapy could be beneficial, but no doctor I spoke with ever really warned me about it, in fact most tend to sell you on the idea. In the case of testosterone replacement, there are several things to be aware of, most significantly is that you will likely RELY on it for the rest of your life. I personally would never want to rely on a pharmaceutical drug of any kind for my well being, and all other avenues should be exhausted before taking that route. Dr. Wainwright did not go into this with me, but at the time I was already biased in favor of the therapy. There are TRT user forums that are quite enlightening if you are entertaining this therapy. I feel like a 'dodged a bullet' by opting out. read more

This is the best wellness and health center in San Diego. Everyone there is very engaging and truly likes to help their patients. Dr. Leverone is awesome!! If your sick, need a vitamin shot, IV, or just want to start taking better care of yourself, then this is the place to go! read more

I was referred to Dr Brooke Leverone and Koi Well being by my awesome Dr Patricia Lutfy. I highly recommended both the doctors. My Mother had terrible back pain and fibromyalgia. She went to so many doctors and no treatments were working for her. But when she met them miracle happened and she feels much better. Their staff is just amazing and everyone is always ready to help and accommodate with smile on their face. Would highly recommend anyone looking for loving and caring treatments which are result driven. read more

Vitiman drip totally saved the day. I got super sick and was down for the count. With two kids that's not really an option. IV fluids and vitamins brought me back from the brink with no wait time. Thx for the help! read more

KOI Wellbeing is my FAVORITE place to practice self care. The staff is professional, attentive and truly a joy to be around. Their knowledge of the product and procedures makes me feel comfortable and confident every time I visit. Not only does KOI deliver consistently great services, they are also a big community player; supporting other local business, while making an big impact in the health and wellness world. Highly recommend any service KOI has to offer! read more

I've been using KOI Wellbeing for B12 shots for a few months now. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Coree at the front desk explains what each shot does for your body. I've never had to wait for more than 1 minute to get my shot. Super speedy! Love KOI! read more

This place is so amazing! Had the best relaxation there and definitely will be coming back! I tried vitamin shots and the result just wowed me, I feel so refreshed and energetic! Thank you, thank you! read more

I love this place! Anytime my daughter shows signs of getting sick I bring her over to gets wellness IV. Since I found them the length and severity of her illness has greatly diminished! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Brooke Leverone at Koi Wellness since the end of June this year due to sluggish weight loss and accountability to what I was eating. I joined the 6 week plan (10 days of it a Detox) to get my metabolism and body chemistry back to normal using a specific plan. Needless to say it worked very well! To date I have lost 17lbs, and my blood work last month was excellent. My metabolism is now jump-started and working again. Basically, sugar is not an issue anymore! I am using all the tools I learned and the nutritional supplements recommended to keep continuing on my health journey. read more

I love this place and the service is excellent! The nurse who does my IV is super friendly and very professional!
