IF you purchased a Groupon, work a 9-5, are a woman seeking hormonal healing, or find anything over $150 a session to be an exorbitant price for a regular healing practice that requires 20-30 minutes max of a practitioner's actual focus in the room, then this is for you. I booked a Groupon to see Lawrence. I was very excited. I have called him four times since then. I left him a voicemail a week ago and then emailed him 5 days ago and finally got a response today. The issue? In both his voicemail and on his website he advises to book an initial visit even if you are coming through Groupon. The booking requires ON THE INITIAL PAGE that you upload your payment information to be charged $160, even if you have already paid elsewhere. That's fine, as long as he's willing to book you in separately. In my experience, he is not. He makes this an excrutiating process of chasing him, likely because he resents his groupon clients. That's fine, just don't open yourself up to Groupon, same as Classpass. This is very confusing to me as a small business owner myself. In the email this morning that he finally responded to he did not communicate what I needed to move forward. I will copy paste the exact exchange here. My initial email, "Hey Larry, This is Olivia. Your limited option to book online requires me to pay for a session I already paid for. I hope you can help. I would love to schedule soon. I called you earlier today and left you a voicemail. I purchased a groupon for a session with you and have been hoping to get back into acupuncture since moving to the westside from Silverlake where I used to go to Universal Family Wellness. I have PCOS, anxiety, weak kidneys, severe anxiety, some intermittent depression, struggles with circulation and gut and ibs issues. I do a lot to treat these myself. I'm a bit of a passionate, obsessed self study herbalist and consume many, many herbs each day as well as some adaptogens and a few supplements. I'm committed to my health and am looking to get into acupuncture at least bi-weekly but would be paying out of pocket. I make okay money but also can't reasonably afford more than $80 out-of-pocket for bi-weekly sessions. I would love to schedule my first session with you. If moving forward for you financially regarding what I can afford doesn't make sense for you for regular sessions, that's okay too. I live in Santa Monica. I work Monday-Friday 8am-4pm Monday-Friday but could sneak out no earlier than 3:30pm to maybe get to you by 4pm weekdays or whenever on weekends. I am happy to fill out your whole form and find it to be extensive and thoughtful. I just can't pay you when I already have. Let me know when it makes sense to book and I hope you have a great day! Sincerely, Olivia" His response after 5 days, weeks of calling and a week of leaving him a voicemail and offering the option to call or text me back, "Hi Olivia, apologies for not getting back to you sooner! The prices on the website refer to patients paying out-of-pocket, not for insurance patients or new patients who bought a Groupon. Hope that helps, and hopefully I'll be seeing you soon :) LM" So he wants $160 from me out-of-pocket after I already purchased the groupon. Seems lazy at best/most generous, insidious at worst. If he covers your insurance, sure, but honestly, he's a man without a womb. so I don't think he's probably the best for those issues anyway but even if he is, he only works for people who don't have real 9-4/5pm adult jobs who will pay him up from more than $100 an hour for a healing practice that is only meant to last you 1-2 weeks. I don't know... read more

Lawrence was referred by my hospital spine center to help with my back, neck injuries and residual pain. He has been instrumental in my healing over the last few years, after being diagnosed with SLE Lupus and APS. I instantly feel the affects of his techniques after his services. I have been to many acupuncturists over the years and can say his work is top notch. I highly recommend him. He is a healer through and through. Thank you for everything. I am so grateful. The customer service is fantastic as well. Thanks again! read more

I highly recommend giving Larry a call if you are looking to try acupuncture for the first time (or looking for a new acupuncturist). He is very professional, friendly, and since I've been going to him my stress and anxiety levels have decreased significantly. It's easy to book an appointment with him online and he's very responsive and accommodating. Parking is not an issue at his office and the rooms are comfortable and very relaxing! He takes his time with his clients by listening and talking to you before your session. He really wants to understand what you're dealing with (like a therapist!) so that he can take good care of you and you leave feeling relaxed and happy! He also accepts insurance which is a plus. read more

Dr. Larry is truly gifted at what he does. I had lower back, knee and foot pain and was seeing a chiropractor but not getting much relief. I decided to see Dr. Larry and I had so much more mobility after the first visit. He walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions about meridians and chi etc. He provides a light massage, then cupping, then the pins and needles. Then he covers you in this NASA blanket and it's lights out for 30 min. Best experience ever. The radiating pain was immediately alleviated and I was able to sleep for the first time in months. Dr. Larry is well versed in eastern medicine and knows the human body. His bedside manners is professional and welcoming and definitely made me feel comfortable. His office is zen and relaxing, beautiful and clean. read more

I was referred by Kaiser when I had Bell's Palsy, an affliction that causes partial facial paralysis. BP left me disabled and disfigured. After taking very strong medications prescribed by an urgent care MD, I was improving, but progress was slow. Lawrence treated me for about 5 weeks and after every treatment I slowly got my facial features back, my hearing improved and my general well being returned. Lawrence, who likes to be called Larry, is very skilled, has a calm, empathetic mindset and I was very satisfied with his care. Also, he is very organized and accessible online for appointments. I highly recommend Larry for pain treatment and any ailment dealing with nerves or general well being. read more

Found Dr. Miller thru a Groupon. My back/hip/IT/hamstrings were bugging me and I needed some acupuncture and cupping. It was my first time trying cupping and I loved it. Each visit, Dr. Miller would check in on what the issues were that I was having so he knew which areas to focus on for each the acupuncture and cupping. The rooms are clean and peaceful, I've definitely fallen asleep during the sessions. These sessions + chiropractor visits + massages and I was better in no time. However, I sit at a desk and in the car a lot, that coupled with aging (sigh), and the pain sometimes comes back so acupuncture + cupping are going to become a routine thing. My logic is that if I continue to do this routinely maybe it will prevent pain? TBD. There are a few parking spots in the lot. I've usually scheduled morning appointments and have found street parking as well. I will say I did get lost the first time. Waze sent me someplace weird. The entrance to the parking lot is on Washington, past the gym/nail salon if you're coming from Centinela. read more

Larry has moved to a new amazing office space between Washington Blvd and Washington Place. The new space is so calming: with soft lighting and modern stylings. And his care continues to be exceptional. I love being able to address both my pains from long distance running and my scratchy throat from an on-coming cold (with a personalized herb prescription made while I wait), all in one place. If you have never tried eastern medicine, definitely give it a try. Larry's nurturing manner will put you right at ease. read more

Larry has the gift of healing. When I was training for Ironman in 2009, I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle 1 month before my race. I had been training for 8 months by then and was afraid that my Ironman dreams were over for that year. I had a pain in my right knee that was preventing me from running. After only a few (3 or 4) visits with Larry, I was well enough to participate and complete the Ironman. I highly recommend Larry. He has such a great aura and energy about him... healing comes natural to him. read more

Larry is an excellent acupuncturist. I have tried all other remedies including chiropractic treatments. This is first time I have tried acupuncture and I am very glad that I did. Best of all I feel that I found the right person on the first try. My back and neck have been a rough one for me to deal with for years. Now the pain has gone down considerably. I highly recommend Larry because of the success I have had. I find him very easy to talk to. read more

Today was my second session with Lawrence and he is amazing!! Not only is Lawrence very knowledgable, but he has the magic touch. Due to my work, I have been dealing with severe lower back pains and finally decided to seek an acupuncturist. I found Lawrence on yelp and agree with all the comments-- he's the best! I have never seen an acupuncturist before, and was afraid of those little needles they stick you with. Lawrence first did the cupping thing and it was a good hurt-- my back almost immediately felt better. After the cupping, he insert the needles to my lower back area--- and it did not hurt at all. I am a big baby too when it comes to needles! After my treatment, i was able to bend over and squat with ease. Before, a sneeze or bending over to pick up a pencil would make me want to cry. 10-10 pain! But thanks to Lawrence, my back feels so much better. I recommended him to all my family and friends who also have shoulder and back pains. He really know his stuff and is good at it too! Also, he takes insurance. Thank you, Lawrence :) read more

Really glad I found Larry, he's a very kind and skilled practitioner. As a nurse myself, I appreciate his knowledge anatomy and physiology. He's helped me with a number of issues from PTSD to plantar fasciitis. It's also really nice that he is on some insurance plans, which makes him more accessible and affordable for many people. He's been a lifeline during these stressful times. I highly recommend him to friends and my patients too. read more

I got my husband a Groupon to go see Dr. Miller and it was a great experience we will definitely continue going. My husband had shoulder and knee pain and through a combo of acupuncture and cupping he is already feeling relief. The online booking system is awesome. The offices are nice and Miller is super nice and professional. We highly recommend! read more

I love Larry! He takes his time and when I went recently we went over some stretches and he gave some suggestions to help me beyond the acupuncture. He is a knowledgeable and versed acupuncturist (and I've been to several over the years). He will take care of you and let you know what he can and can't help with. He does take insurance too (not for me, cuz I have stupid Oscar insurance), but even if you don't have insurance, he's reasonably priced. read more

Lawrence is the best! I see him weekly and he has helped me with an array of issues from sports injury to pain management of my autoimmune and other conditions. Can't recommend enough. One tip - the answering service can be tricky, I would email simultaneously. read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else. I travel from Pasadena to make sure I get the best acupuncture available in Los Angeles. He is friendly, funny, and so good at what he does. You won't be disappointed! read more

Larry is absolutely awesome. I'm a triathlete, adventure racer, and an extreme sports enthusiast so needless to say, I beat up on my body all the time. Larry is very generous with his time and knowledge and takes very good care of his patients. He has treated me on several occasions and I always walk away feeling refreshed and ready to go beat up my body again. I recommend Larry to all of my friends, knowing that he is one of the few that can really make a difference. read more

Larry is a phenomenal healer! He's compassionate, answers every question you have and is incredibly knowledgeable.

His offices are also very serene and you feel super relaxed when you leave. read more

My daughter, now 10, just came down with a flu, and guzzled some Flu Fighter tincture for kids so she could go on a planned vacation to Mammoth with a friend. She got over the flu in 2 days! Amazing because my husband and I had had the same thing and each of us was down for a week! Super impressed by these targeted formulas and how effective they are for my child. Thanks Dr. Larbo! read more

I bought a Groupon and on my first visit, I liked him instantly.. Lawrence is a warm, compassionate and learned acupuncturist. Funny too! I wasnt treating any injuries so cant speak to that but I left so calm, so relaxed- a state that is far from my norm.I would ask for more needles to amp up the benefits but thats just me. Easy online appointment scheduling. Parking on site. Highly recommend! read more

I recently started working with Dr Miller. He's a very knowledgeable about the human body and been practicing acupuncture before it was en vogue. I have a lot of clients that also use him and love his approach. Highly recommended! read more

Lawrence is fantastic! I felt immediately at ease with him as he has a very warm and compassionate nature. Very knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about what he does. His office is clean and very relaxing. I came in for some severe pain in my arm that would not get better, and after one treatment, I already feel relief. Besides my physical pain, I have been struggling with grief due to the loss of my brother and I have been struggling with digestion and depression issues. He was very gentle and kind in speaking about it, and about an hour after my first treatment and I had a very good emotional release and felt better. I already recommended some friends to him and I look forward to working with him more to help fix everything that ails me! read more

Larry is a fantastic practitioner. He listens carefully to your issues and takes the time to thoroughly check your body before starting any treatment. I have seen him multiple times for running related niggles and every time his treatments have helped me recover. The new location is great and easier to park, and his online reservation system makes it very easy to book appointments. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Larry is an amazing healer and I'm very thankful I found him. He is kind, caring, confident and listens. He has so much knowledge and is happy to share and offer suggestions, but he is never judgmental. Also, I am so grateful my insurance covers acupuncture. But you know what? I would happily PAY out of pocket because he is just that good. Now, go see him! read more

My name is Anthony Miller, no relation although I wish we were, can you imagine all the free treatments :). I have been seeing Larry for over 6 years. I had major back surgery 15 years ago and Larry has helped me numerous times. Before Larry, when I threw out my back I would be laid up in bed for two weeks or more. His treatments have been so successful that I've gone bowling the very next day. He is a caring and compassionate soul who lets his work speak for itself. Thanks Larry! read more

I've been getting regular acupuncture from Lawrence for the past 2 years and can really feel the benefits. I find that even when I don't think I "need" it, that I always feel better and more balanced afterwards. I am enjoying thriving health and thank Lawrence for his amazing work. His new offices are serene and a wonderful place for healing and contemplation. 5***** read more

I originally went to Larry for a sore back with he resolved in about three visits during one of the visits I mentioned that I had planter fasciitis that have been bothering me for the last two years Larry suggested that we treat that next. Previously I had gone to physical therapy weekly for six months to try to treat it and it really had not improved very much. I went to four sessions of acupuncture with Larry and it was 100% better I couldn't believe the improvement in just a few sessions. That was almost a year ago and I have no pain in my feet and legs from my planter fasciitis. Larry is a very caring and super knowledgeable person I highly recommend him in fact my sister who also has planter fasciitis is flying into Los Angeles from out of town just to go to Larry to try to treat her feet. read more

I've seen Larry a half-dozen times over the last few years. He really helped me figure out what was causing a mysterious pain and designed a great series of treatments and exercises to solve the problem. Highly recommended. read more

I have worked with Larry several times. Not only is he a highly proficient acupuncturist and herbalist, but he is very intuitive, extremely knowledgeable about the body, confident without being arrogant, an excellent listener, personable, and hilarious. As an avid athlete, I am terribly particular about who works on my body. I have benefitted from Larry's expertise in treating sports injuries and will continue to seek his consultation for any and all sports injuries, as well as any other health concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone seeking enhanced wellness. read more

After 3 1/2 years of suffering from anemia and going to five different Western Medicine Doctors without proper diagnosis, at the advice of a close friend, I made an appointment with Lawrence Miller. In just 3 visits he was able to diagnose, treat and bring me back to a state of energy that put a smile back of my face and zip back in my step. If you are not feeling great and want to, I highly recommend that you make an appointment to see Lawrence Miller. Thanks Larry. It feels great to feel great again. read more

Larry is great. Understanding and talented, he works with you and your lifestyle to determine what will work best. The office is clean and quite relaxing. He is always a pleasure to see, and has a great "bedside manner". His willingness to follow up after treatment is rare these days! read more

Larry is the best! I met him through doing triathlons and I have been to him many times for acupuncture for a variety of issues and he really is incredible at what he does. I remember that after one visit when I was experiencing tendonitis in my feet, I got home and suddenly realized that my feet weren't hurting at all. If you're looking for an awesome and intuitive acupuncturist then I highly recommend Larry! read more

There are not enough stars on here for a proper rating. I have been searching for an acupuncturist on different websites and found him on Living Social with 7 minutes to spare for buying. His great reviews here on Yelp were all so accurate. Walking into his office last night I was in horrible pain and skeptical as I didn't know what to expect. I have tried going to the chiropractic care, massage, MD, specialist and not one of those people/places have helped. He sat down with me before my session and LISTENED to what issues I was having and thought about what treatment was best for my needs and I shout out a big THANK YOU for that. He guided me through what treatments he was doing so that I would be comfortable. After my session, I felt better and I was so relaxed. I went home not knowing how I would feel in the morning. I must say, I had the best sleep and when I woke up and could move my neck from side to side without pain. I will defiantly go back and have him treat me in the future. read more
