Gilian is awesome! Kind, gentle supportive and knowledgeable. I came to her on a referral from a friend as I was having some fertility issues. I was with her while simultaneously seeing my fertility doctor until almost the end of my first trimester. Appointments were easy to make and reminders were sent for every appt. Thank you Gilian! read more

I went for my first ever acupuncture last week, it helped my back pain immediately. Gilian Lata was helpful, smart, personable and highly knowledgeable. Eagerly going back next week. read more

Jennifer is the best. I have been looking for a Acupuncturist for some time now and I am glad I found the best one in the valley close to home. My mother loves her. Her staff is also great! Adrianne helps me every week with scheduling. Restorative Acupuncture is the best and the reviews don't lie! read more

I've been going to Dr. Lata since I tore my meniscus playing basketball eight months ago they wanted to do surgery but she told me to do acupuncture for a while see how it feels. Guess what my knee feels great now and I'm so glad I didn't have surgery I will keep going to Dr.Lata for all my elements! read more

I suffered with lower back pain for 3 years after giving birth to my daughter. I refused to be on any pain medication or to have any cortisone or epidural shots so I naturally tried physical therapy as a last shot from my medical group. I wasn't too impressed with the physical therapy and felt like it was ineffective. I was running out of hope and at this point I had pain every single day so I started looking up alternatives to medicine and naturally came across acupuncture. I won't lie I was very hesitant to try this out but wow to my surprise this was the best thing I could have done for my back. Jennifer made me feel comfortable from the very beginning I cannot thank her enough. After coming here for about 3 months I am now pain free which is something I never thought would ever happen. There's a reason why this place has 5 stars with excellent reviews it's definitely worth a try! read more

My cousin and his wife were looking for an alternative solution to years of challenges. I found restorative through deep dives of research & recommended they give it a try. They have finally conceived after five years. Our family is blessed with a newborn boy and we couldn't be more grateful for restorative acupuncture and the personal care given to them. I started treatment for my own pain issues and have been beside myself with how effective the treatment has been. I do trust western medicine. However, after experiencing eastern treatment for modern problems, I can't thank them enough for all of the relief our entire family has received. Highly recommend. read more

I am needle adverse and was always skeptical of Acupuncture. A recent jaw/muscle problem led me to research all options for improving the pain. I called four local Acupuncture clinics asking for information and details on insurance coverage as well as requesting to set up an appointment. Only Restorative had the decency to call me back and talk through my questions. I have been going to Restorative for 6 months now and I am a 'convert'. The jaw pain is significantly better and the folks there are kind, thoughtful and attuned to each patient's concerns. The needles, are so gently placed, you don't even know they are there! I am very happy that Restorative was the clinic to call back. Heck, they even give a day before reminder for EACH appointment. Like clockwork. Top notch all around. Thank you! read more

Cannot recommend restorative acupuncture enough! Gilian is incredible - so knowledgable, personable and provides the most wonderful RESTORATIVE treatments. She genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. This was exactly what I was looking for and my weekly appointments are a major highlight for me when it comes to self care :) read more

My experience at restorative acupuncture was extremely pleasant and relaxing! Setting up an appointment was easy. I've tried acupuncture once before but didn't feel as comfortable as i did here. The atmosphere is welcoming. Gillian was extremely knowledgable and professional. I had been experiencing some back discomfort and just after once session i felt some relief. I highly recommend Gillian and her office as i will using them on a regular basis now. Thank you! read more

I worked with Gillian for several years during the course of my infertility struggle. Going to see her twice sometimes 3x a week was a safe haven for me in a time when my emotions were full of ups and downs. She is extremely knowledgeable in the world of infertility and I highly recommend her to anyone going through it. She will even accompany you to your IVF transfer which she did for me. Happy to say I had a baby and I know that her treatments helped me get there. I am a firm believer in the power of acupuncture and put my trust in Gillian and her team as they are the best there is! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Lata's for over 6 mths and I have been restored to health. When I first saw her I had a hard time explaining what was wrong with me without sounding insane. I have several autoimmune diseases and hormone issues to really add to the complexity. She made me feel safe, heard and hopeful. From almost completely bed ridden to regaining my health and happiness has me singing her praises. Her knowledge, experience and unbiased nature I have never witnessed before. She never rushes and is always listening and learning about what I need. I am so grateful for Dr Lata and a patient for life!! read more

This review is long overdue. I've been reading some of the great reviews and really can't say it better than what's already been written. I've been seeing Gilian for several years now. Not only does she help with back pain and aches she helped me get rid of a bad case of tennis elbow that was pestering for me almost a year. More importantly I firmly believe that she also helped me get pregnant . After I had a miscarriage in 2014 , I wantend to make sure my next pregnancy " stuck " - well it did. I'm know the mother of a 23 month old . I'm 40 and am currently trying again, and seeing Gilian for that added support . As so many others of have commented she's not only a great acupuncturist with so much knowledge , she's also an incredibly cool and warm human being , who takes her time to listen and makes you feel comfortable straight away . There's a positive energy to her that goes beyond any sort of support I've ever seen from any other doctor. I always end up leaving feeling physically better AND emotionally uplifted ! read more

I cannot recommend Gillian highly enough. I have been seeing her since I had major surgery about two and a half years ago. I was referred to acupuncture because I wasn't healing as well as could be expected and yes, Gillian took my insurance. But more than that, acupuncture gave me my body back. You want to see someone who has medical training, as she does, so she was able to treat my healing body for nerve damage and help encourage my muscles and soft tissue to heal quicker. My belly was so torn apart during what ended up being two surgeries that I couldn't stand up for more than a few minutes at a time for a good year. I wouldn't be full strength without Gillian's expertise. She was patient with my body and with my own impatience, you simply cannot be in better hands than hers. Sure, parking is not the greatest- thus is Studio City. So you head over early to get a spot. But seriously- Gillian is worth the effort. read more

Gillian, Jennifer, and Dana are very thoughtful in their treatment and knowledgeable on health issues that may not be acknowledged in western medicine. When you come in with symptoms they don't push to fit you in a diagnosis but instead treat you by taking into account all of your symptoms and health problems knowing every body is different and will require different care. I am forever grateful for the safe and welcoming environment they create for their patients. I have been seeing Gillian most regularly and she is very detailed and caring with her treatment and takes the time to listen so she can formulate the best treatment regime for you. She is very patient and intuitive, as are Jennifer and Dana. Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Gillian. I've been seeing her for a few years now. Recently, she helped me get rid of a horrible case of tennis elbow which lasted for almost a year. More importantly, I firmly believe that she helped me get pregnant. After I had a miscarriage in 2014, I wanted to make sure my next pregnancy "stuck"-well it did. I'm the now the mother of a happy healthy toddler.. At 40, I'm now trying for a second and am seeing Gilian for that added support. I will update this post if I get pregnant again:) As many of you have commented, she's not only a great acupuncturist with a tremendous amount of knowledge, she 's also an incredibly cool & warm human being. The moment you meet her you feel at ease with her and you feel free to talk to her about anything, even things you may not feel comfortable disclosing to your regular doctor. She always takes her time to listen and make you feel comfortable. There's a positive energy to her that goes beyond any support I've ever encountered from any other doctor. When I leave I always end up feeling physically better AND emotionally uplifted. read more

I was having trouble getting pregnant at 39 years old and thought I would give acupuncture a try. I found Dr Gilian on Yelp and decided to see her based on the reviews. I'm so glad I did! I am now the mother of twin girls! When I started seeing Dr Gilian in Nov 2012, I already had one 5-year-old daughter, but had experienced a miscarriage after trying for a second child which resulted in a D and C. After the D and C, my husband and I started trying again. After a year of trying with no success, I went to Dr Gilian for help. Dr Gilian told me to give the acupuncture about 9 months to work. She had me chart my basal body temp and keep track of when I ovulate using an ovulation predictor kit. I saw her once a week. She also gave me herbs which I took 3 times a day. My cycles were too short when I started seeing her but after about 3 months they became regular. Six months after I started treatment with Dr Gilian, I got pregnant! I can't say that all the credit of my getting pregnant should be given to acupuncture alone but I do believe that it was very helpful in my case. Dr Gilian was like a coach for me. She was there to listen to all of my concerns, taught me about the complex and fascinating subject of fertility and guided me through all the different options available in both eastern and western medicine to increase fertility. Dr Gilian was just as invested in my success as I was! I ended up taking clomid for 2 cycles, supplements like CoQ10 and pycnogenol and getting a hydrosonogram. All those elements, the weekly acupuncture treatments and Dr Gilian's guidance is what finally lead to a healthy pregnancy and delivery at 36 weeks. Thank you for everything, Dr Gilian! And good luck to everyone who is trying to conceive. Oh! And don't wait to take action. If you're over 35 and have been trying with no success for 6 months, see Dr Gilian right away! I wish *I* had. read more

My visit was absolutely amazing. I was alittle hesitant because I've never done acupuncture before but Gilian explained everything to me step by step. I felt super comfortable. I highly recommend! I will be seeing her again in the future read more

I love that Gilian takes her time and genuinely cares about her clients. I go see her weekly and I have had a positive experience everytime.

If my life long friend Dennis recommends this Doctor, Then I will follow his advice and drop by and visit her facility. Body USA Fitness follows the advice of All methods of healing and the modlities of all preventatave medicine's. read more

Dr. Lata and Dr. Campbell are both AMAZING!! I have seen them for specific issues and general wellness and always feel listened to, understood and very well cared for. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

I just have to write about Dr. Gilian. I have been dealing with migraines for 20 years and nothing has worked except Dr. Gilian's treatments. I was pregnant with my second child and the migraines had me vomiting so much my 2 year old was always pretending to throw up in the toilet! I went in with one of those migraines to see Dr. G and left with NO MIGRAINE. Insane. Her treatments and herbal remedies definitely decreased the frequency and the intensity. And I have never found a natural relief so immediate and powerful as her healing. She is always learning more and sharing it and loves what she does. I just am so grateful for her and the incredible difference she has made in my life. Please give yourself a gift and see Dr. Gilian! read more

I recently went to Restorative Acupuncture for sciatica treatment. I had been suffering for weeks with pain starting from my lower back, down my right leg and not getting any relief from high doses of ibuprofen. I was desperate, and had never tried acupuncture before. I found this place on the internet and decided to give it a try. The actual building is a bit dingy, but don't let that deter you. Inside, the place is clean and Dr. Gilian is professional. After 3 treatments, I was about 80% better. While I can't say that this was the complete cure, I would absolutely try this again if I had a similar issue. read more

Gilian is awesome and I highly recommend her. I was dealing with chronic pain and wanted to give acupuncture a try. Gilian was recommended to me by a mutual friend that used her services. I was deathly afraid of needles. On my very first appointment, I explained that to Gilian and she completely understood. She showed me the instruments she worked with and was very thorough in explaining acupuncture to me. I told her I wasn't ready to be needled until the next visit and she was fine with that. Together we worked on a plan to get my pain under control. The following visit, I was prepared for my needling and it was not as scary as I thought. Gilian was very caring and started with a simple sequence. As time progressed, my confidence in her abilities increased and she was able to apply more needles and sequences to me. My husband noticed the difference and thanked Gilian for being a part of my Healing process. Throughout our time together, we became friends. Now I live too far, but I look forward to being able to work with Gilian again. She impresses me because she is always learning more about her craft to better serve her patients. She is a gem and a great find! read more

I've been using Restorative Acupuncture for a few years and love it! In the past year started seeing Jennifer; so happy her in addition. Jennifer has the most relaxing, healing presence that segues right into the treatment! Her use of aromatherapy WITH acupuncture is like the cherry on top. If I had enough visits to go every single week, I'd have a standing appt! Speaking of which, I'm due! *callingJennifer* read more

Gilian is so calm and welcoming! I was very anxious about receiving acupuncture; I had never done it before. Plus, I'm quite terrified of needles. But she took time with me, answered all of my questions and alleviated my nerves even before the treatment began. My first treatment seemed to have had a positive response for my body, and I am looking forward to my next one. I literally just made the appointment. The only thing I'll change about the session coming up will be me coming in with my glasses on instead of contacts in. I didn't realize I'd be lying down for 30 minutes, and the only thing to do is meditate or sleep, and my contacts got very dry. The fact that this was my biggest concern speaks volumes to the entire experience! Also, Sarah the woman you speak on the phone with to schedule the appointment is just lovely! She's kind, well spoken and very helpful! read more

I've been going to Restorative Acupuncture for a few years now. Jennifer is incredible. She is knowledgeable, comforting and a true healer in every sense. The rooms are quiet, calming and a welcoming environment. I look forward to every appointment and highly recommend Restorative Acupuncture to everyone! read more

I am not an alternative medicine kind of gal, but I had a great experience with Dr. Gilian Lata at this clinic. She treated me for my never-ending elbow pain and I'm in shock to say that she actually alleviated the pain. I've been to doctors and specialists and I even had an MRI, but Dr. Lata had the magic touch and really actually helped me... finally. THANKS!! read more

Dr Lata has a wonderful practice. She made me feel comfortable with acupuncture and her treatments have truly made a difference. I have chronic back pain and have tried everything-chiro, massage, and however this is this first treatment that has helped relieve my pain. She recently moved into her own office and it is very clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend giving her a visit if you suffer from any of the above, she is friendly and professional and above all listens to her patients. read more

I can't say enough great things about Gillian. The Valley is lucky to have her. She has been extraordinarily patient with my thousand questions about fertility stuff. She is extremely knowledgable and knows how to navigate the uncertain and frustrating world of fertility trials and errors. I am grateful she has been in my life and would recommend anyone to go see her. read more

This place is amazing Gillian makes you feel welcomed and good after just a few treatments would recommend her to anyone having pain or just wants to feel better read more

So far I am having a positive experience here! Came first to meet with Jennifer (I believe that's her name) and she was super zen and made me feel very relaxed. She used doTERRA oils which I love and also use at home. She was great! Now I've been seeing Dr Gillian and she is also great! She has a different vibe and is more straight to the point which I don't mind at all. Seeing her for her fertility expertise and I feel really great overall! I will keep seeing her for sure read more

I'm 52 years old and don't know why it's taken me so long to try acupuncture? I've been having major joint pains since November (2016) and in January it got a THOUSAND times worse! My sister finally convinced me to see an acupuncturist so I looked in my health network and there was Gilian Lata's name! Not only was Restorative Acupuncture in my network but it was on my street, in my neighborhood and covered 100% by my insurance! I feel truly blessed and lucky to have found RA & Gilian. She's kind, gentle, patient and really listens to me! She's the one that assessed I might have an autoimmune problem. Just after 4 treatments, changing my diet and drinking Gilian's Chinese herb tea, I'm feeling SO much better! If you've always wanted to try acupuncture but were scared or hesitant - don't be! It's changing my life! Restorative Acupuncture is the place to go! Gilian is a miracle worker! I can't wait to go back next week! read more

I have been going to Restorative Accupunture and working with Jennifer for a year and a half now and highly recommend her and the place! She is very knowledgeable and super sweet and does a great job making you relaxed and treats all sorts of Conditions! She uses great essential oils and herbs and incorporates massage and body work in with the needle treatments. A great place read more

I have been doing acupuncture for the stenosis in my upper neck for a few years before going to Restorative, and it was helpful. I started seeing Gillian about a year ago and the difference was amazing. I can hardly feel the nagging disc related pain when I leave and it lasts. I have been doing physical therapy and exercises and massage that all help the muscles and nerves in my neck relax, but the acupuncture with the electrotherapy help the most and if I keep it up I can live as though I don't feel the discomfort. And she's very thorough, covering all the areas of my shoulders and lower back that are affected by the nerve stuff in my neck. I highly recommend. read more

My main reason for starting acupuncture was due to suffering with bouts of hypertension. Being a registered nurse I was well aware of the toxic side effects of medication and would do everything in my power to avoid traditional treatment. Found restorative Acupuncture on google. I started seeing Gilian. She was wonderful and had a very professional approach. After a period of time, she suggested I try Jennifer. I am so grateful to Gilian for this suggestion. Jennifer has an amazing group of referral alternative practitioners that were instrumental in assisting me with my pressure issues. Jennifer is a healer, acupuncturist and informed individual of the finest order. I can't say enough wonderful comments about these women and this practice. So deeply grateful to have found them and even though my blood pressure is under Control I will continue to use the practice for longevity and well-being purposes. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Gilian Lata for acupuncture. I've seen her for migraines, back pain, sleep issues and weight loss. Having been to numerous acupuncturists before, I have to say, this was a whole different experience and I finally got the results I was seeking. I don't know about the other practitioners but they're probably great. read more

I absolutely love Jennifer! She's been my Acupuncturist for almost 2 years now. She is very calm, gentle and she incorporates aromatherapy during each treatment which I appreciate so much, but you don't have to if it's not your thing. I highly recommend Jennifer at Restorative Acupuncture for any aches and pains. read more

I had a huge fear of neddles and always avoided acupuncture for this reason. After speaking with Dana, she convinced me to overcome my fear. Right after the first session I saw results. I was very relaxed and had a good night sleep. Second session was better, Dana managed to take away my pain. I highly reccomend this place and Dana's acupuncture teraphy. Thank you! read more

I have been struggling with my knees and weight gain. Gilian really paid attention asked a lot of questions and started a plan. My knees instantly felt better, and she was honest about acupuncture and hormones and set up a diet and exercise regime that have really helped. She is a no pressure person, very helpful, and I haven't felt this good in years! I think she is amazing read more

This review is a little late, but better late than never. I went to Gilian when my husband and I were trying to conceive. My first experience of acupuncture with Gilian was absolutely magical. I cried. I'm not sure what happen on that table, but I think a ton of stress just exited my system and it was somewhat of a spiritual experience. Gilian has a very warm, authentic, comforting persona and is very knowledgable about conception, miscarriages, and everything baby. She put my mind at ease all the time with her advice. I love meeting people so passionate about their work. Gilian is one of those people. Unfortunately, I can be a highly anxious person at times so my weekly visits were quite necessary. I also took the herbal supplements that are supposed to assist with conception and we got pregnant fairly quick (although it felt like an eternity in the interim). I admit her services are costly, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for. Just several months after starting treatment with Gilian I got pregnant with my little guy (now 4 months old) and the light of my life. If you need stress relief, try Gilian! I'm so glad I did! read more
