My partner and I were on a road trip and were hit by a truck (twice) on I-80, sustaining bad…read morewhiplash. Thankfully, we landed in Tahoe, and Dr. Elena graciously allowed us appointments in spite of not yet being fully open. After one treatment, we are both back to nearly normal! We felt very safe; infection control practices were what you'd expect of a healthcare provider - on point. I've had acupuncture regularly in the past and this was by far the best experience I've ever had. Dr. Elena was thoughtful in her approach, extremely knowledgeable, and gentle but effective. At the end of the treatment, she offered a therapeutic massage - I've never experienced this with acupuncture before, and it was the icing on the cake! She also provided helpful after-care instructions, to ensure sustained benefits, and recommended herbs. This was truly a holistic care experience. Not only did my neck pain and mobility improve, my headache resolved and I left more relaxed than I have been in months. I can not recommend Dr. Elena, or this clinic, highly enough. I only wish we lived close by so this could be a regular experience!

He also made some good suggestions on some stretches I could keep up with. I highly suggest this place for anyone in the area or from out of town looking for care. Would go there again when I am in the area.

I have to admit that I've always been skeptical of anything that can be considered "alternative…read moremedicine". I guess I always thought, if it WORKS, then why don't so called "real scientists" quantify it, standardize it, and release treatment recommendations based on proven studies of its efficacy? That being said, I'm also open minded enough to give anything (or anyone) a good once-over before writing it off... and that's how I ended up in Tyler's office. After taking a pretty bad spill on a skateboard last year, I was left with almost debilitating pain in my wrist, and although my initial fracture had "healed", my "normal" doctor told me there was little they could do besides injections and pills to help with the ongoing pain and stiffness. So on the recommendation of a friend, I decided to give Tyler Lapkin / Tahoe City Acupuncture a try. I won't say I believe Acupuncture to be a catch-all alternative to "western medicine" (and Tyler himself said about the same to me), but I AM now a believer in the power of acupuncture to treat and manage chronic pain. And you can tell Tyler is a real scientist when he talks about acupuncture... His depth of knowledge of TCM (as he refers to Traditional Chinese Medicine) is impressive, and it is clear that he has honed his technique through study as well as countless hours of practice. He's also just a really nice guy and makes the process very easy on you from the moment you walk in the door. If you have a chronic condition that western medicine is unable to tackle (or they just want to load you up with drugs!) give this guy a try, he's great and his treatments have truly improved my quality of life.

I found Tyler most fortuitously when I stumbled upon his monthly Community acupuncture clinic…read more After a session at the clinic which was great, I made an appointment at his office for a private session. I have been receiving acupuncture regularly for years, so when I'm on vacation I seek it out as well. I've seen all types of practitioners and I feel that Tyler is very knowledgeable, solid in his technique, and a gifted healer. If you are in the area and have been thinking about trying acupuncture absolutely give him a try. He's also just a great person to offer a low-priced community clinic giving all people the chance to heal. The community session was great and the private session even better. Hands-down worth every (totally reasonable) penny.

She is truly magic & to receive a session from her is nothing short of life giving and often changing. She's really really good at what she does & I feel so blessed to have found her.

I came to Lila after I had hurt my back and that 'knot' was working its way down to my glute. This…read moreinjury coincided with an incredibly challenging time in my life. Which, of course! Physical issues always show up with stress. As someone with Lyme disease, I was already familiar with the healing power of accupuncture and thought it would help with my back and glute. Lila blew my previous accupuncture experiences out of the water. She helped heal my body and along the way, she was an incredible guide to navigating the emotional side of loss, grief, and uncertainty. I came to Lila pretty broken in all aspects of life and I now feel amazing in body, mind, and soul. More recently, I tore my meniscus and couldn't weight bear when I saw Lila. The next day, I was walking with a limp but it is progress! She was working with the inflammation but also the muscle memory and fear of a fall that hurt so badly, I was scared to use my knee. I needed to get through that mental block to encourage physical healing as well. Whether it is physical, emotional, or mental, Lila will help! I am so thankful she came into my life at such a critical time. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Rachel is decent however, she does frequently cancel you in juggling her own medical issues or traveling. Cancelling again, I reluctantly booked Reuckl to maintain consistency in care for my knee. I'm not really fond of him, however, I've made a commitment to wellbeing. In reporting 3 previous experiences (and last) I find him consistently dismissive, condescending, never prompt, and often made to wait a half hour, as was the case again this week. Reuckl, is a self proclaimed former paid comedian. On his eventual grand entrance into the treatment room, he tossed out a few jokes then volleyed a barrage of questions as to why I was there. Doh! He constantly dissed my answers one by one and felt pressured to continuously rephrase my answers. This is unacceptable. Known explicitly for clear communication in my own line of work, I never once felt heard or acknowledged while communicating with him. Because of this behavior, I had switched to Rachel months ago and found immediate compassionate, professional, coherent and responsive treatment. We clicked and did good work together. Lately she's dealing with her own medical and travel agenda and often unavailable. I'm an innately kind, patient person and gravitate to the healing arts because they traditionally offer more consciousness. I have fantastic connections in massage, chiropractic and physical therapy. I seek quality, compassion and professional services. Mutual respect is important to me. As a professional in the public sphere as well, I have honed people skills and make a point to offer respect and generally accept people where they're at in the given moment. Meeting with Reuckl once again after the lengthy wait, I navigated through more precious time of what I felt emerged as downright attempts of mental abuse. I was led down a rabbit hole of cross examination, and at every corner, was dissed for my responses for over another 30 minutes. I never felt heard or respected. In feeble attempts to joke, he made fun of a newly prescribed blood pressure machine I brought in, and said 'We won't use yours, mine is better'. That may or may not have been true, however I feel professional etiquette just got tossed out the window right there. Regarding the locale of the knee pain, he asked specifically 5 times where the pain in my knee was. I answered each question to the best of my ability. He still didn't seem satisfied and continued to ask the same question over and over again. We talked Blood Pressure. At one point he threw down a folder violently on a nearby table. This is not healthy professional behavior. Concerning what is no more than a 5x 5 sq. in. knee circumference, it's his job to figure out how to treat the area holistically, not mine. I can communicate where the general pain is coming from, but specifically it does radiate. Poor thing wasn't satisfied with my answers. Objectively speaking, intuitive and calming he was not. During the dreaded session I fully regret making, I witnessed this man displaying two types of personality, initially vacillating from joking to aggressive forms of interrogation that morphed into absolutely no respect for my communications, second guessing everything I was experiencing and relaying. He KNEW darn well the operation I had, and he KNEW the locale of injury, because it was in his notes. He has treated it before. Eventually, the ego based mental gymnastics and semantics were not making me feel safe or honored as a client. Something definitely seemed very wrong here. Why, at 4pm was I not on the table getting treatment for a 3 o'clock appt on issues he was well familiar with? Finally I stopped the games, I loudly objected, expressing he was condescending and dismissive, asked for my 100.00 back and expressed that I was very upset. On leaving, he verbally accepted what he called 'my criticism', rather than acknowledge the stressful experience with him and what we could do to improve the connection. He never offered an apology or provided a path for treatment. I never had my session. Lastly, it appears that he offers selective care for those he likes. I guess I'm not one of them. As a relatively new patient, I've said or done nothing to deserve this. They hardly even know me there. I was referred by Soul Spa in Reno, and they will definitely be hearing about my experience. Because of this unprofessionalism, Dr. Rachel has also lost a client. I wouldn't recommend this man to an animal, let alone a human being. I feel it's an opportunity to share my experience for those seeking acupuncture treatment, helping to avoid emotional harm, as well as find someone who is far more ethical, stable, professional, fairly priced and genuine. Thumbs down for 'Sinistry'.
