Ok so I used to be terrified of acupuncture, but the stress in my daily life got so bad that I decided, you know what! Let's give this a try... And my God and I happy I did. Denise, apart from being the sweetest most caring person, she's like a magician! It doesn't matter what you have going on, she works with you to get to the core of the problem and nips it in the butt. I can't thank her enough for everything she's done for me. If I could see her every week I 1000% would. If you're on the fence about making an appointment, I say Do it! You won't regret it read more

Beware!!! Shady Practice!!! At 2pm today, I received an email confirming my 4pm appointment with Denise. At 4pm today, I received an email from Allie confirming that my plan has a $0 copay for treatments. Then in the next sentence, she stated that I have to contribute a $45 copay per visit to allow exceptional quality of healthcare. Can you believe it? This has got to be the biggest scam I've ever encountered. Again, let me remind you that my plan has a $0 copay for treatments. Very shady, unprofessional practice. I definitely would not recommend. Beware!!! read more

Please read: This business uses fraudulent billing practices and in addition the service itself was unprofessional in every way possible. I've listed the serious issues I experienced below. 1. Acupuncturist forgot about my appointment. She was 40 minutes late and I had to call the receptionist to remind the acupuncturist. Terrible start. 2. The receptionist told me the company and service was in-network for my insurance and the co-pay would be $30. She said via email she checked it and I have screenshots of this exchange. Today I received an email from my insurance that not only is the company *not* in network for them, I now owe $230. The receptionist lied. 3. I looked at my insurance breakdown of the "services I received" and most of them are services I *did not* receive. The bill was artificially inflated and filed by someone who had no idea how to file an insurance claim. 4. The acupuncturist lectured me the entire time she was setting needles on my fertility and why I should have kids immediately. I did NOT bring up pregnancy, fertility, wanting to have children, or any related topic during my appointment and her harassment was both unsettling and unsolicited. I tried to politely shut the topic down because I'm not interested in her advice or opinions, but she continued to rattle on, not taking the cue. 5. I'm not sure if it was the stress of the acupuncturist running so late or the stress of being lectured when I was supposed to be relaxing, but the acupuncture did absolutely nothing for me. I've had great acupuncturists in other locations (first time here) but this literally had no benefit. If I could give them zero stars, I would. read more

I used Denise at Robert Young's Acupuncture for a neck issue after a referral from my father who often saw Denise. When I contacted Denise and she returned my call to discussed her approach and treatment options with me this included her fee structure and as a courtesy checked my insurance and explained my part of the cost as insurance did not cover this. With a bit of research, I realized what a great value it was and I went ahead and got treated and felt great relief over the course of treatment. Thanks Denise! read more

I saw Denise for my first time doing acupuncture. Denise did a wonderful job explaining the process and putting me at ease. It was an enjoyable experience that I would highly recommend. read more

Nirada is awesome! I developed some post-viral illness issues (possibly Long COVID), and Nirada has been able to utilize acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping to help me get my life back each time I have a flare-up. She is very knowledgeable about the therapies she uses. During my initial visit, she was very comprehensive in her intake, spending plenty of time with me, asking questions about the health issues I was struggling with. She spent more time with me and sought to understand what I was going through more than any doctor has over the last few years. This was also my first time doing acupuncture / moxibustion / cupping, and Nirada made sure I felt comfortable throughout each of the experiences. Some of the issues she's helped me with: PEM (post exertional malaise), muscle weakness / muscle energy issues, shortness of breath, heart palpitations & chest discomfort, improved blood flow / oxygenation throughout my body, joint aches & stiffness, light sensitivity... the list goes on and on. Her work took me from not being able to do chores around the house or go on walks with my dog to being able to full, HIIT workouts and complete a full day of running errands again. Highly recommend! read more

I am so happy I found this place and Acupuncture by Denise DuRoss. I needed treatment after my back injury, and she helped so much. Knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended! read more

Nirada is an acupuncture & cupping queen! She's so patient and calming. She truly listens to your concerns and is knowledgeable as heck! Always ready to give good advise. I came in with extreme tiredness and within a week I've been feeling so much better. I went from sleeping 8ish hours a night with a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day to waking up early and going to yoga classes! I'm truly so grateful. The office itself is cozy, clean, and parking is super easy! read more

I have been seeing Denise DuRoss for Acupuncture care for several years. She is the BEST! Not only have I seen her for my own wellness, I have referred numerous clients her way over the years, all with wonderful results! She is a rockstar with fertility treatment, pregnancy-related needs, general women's health, chronic inflammation, IBS, muscular aches/pains, sports injuries, insomnia, anxiety, and more. I cannot recommend her any more enthusiastically. ~K.N., Registered Nurse and Holistic Wellness Coach read more

I highly recommend and am beyond grateful for Denise Marie DuRoss. She is truly the best! For the past year she has provided acupuncture, cupping, and e-stim treatments on me. She is very attentive, kind, and I admire her ability to truly care about each person that walks through the door. She asks questions to make sure each session is carefully tailored to help provide the best treatment possible. Visits have the ability to help with neck/back pain, stress, anxiety, digestion, headaches, pinched nerves, and so much more. The Los Angeles office is clean, has plenty of street parking, and accepts insurance. Overall, the experience is therapeutic and relaxing, and it's something I really look forward to. Very grateful to have found this place! read more

I came here to help with my vestibular migraines that I would get almost daily. After my first session of acupuncture and cupping with Nirada, not only did I get the best sleep of my life for a solid week but my migraines started becoming less frequent. Nirada is also super knowledgeable about herbs and recommended some great options to help with my vertigo. I also went to Denise when I had to switch up my schedule for the holidays and she was great too. She did moving cupping which felt like a massage and really helped get the holiday stress out. I don't think you can go wrong with anyone here. I've noticed a significant drop in my stress and anxiety after starting sessions here. I've only gone 4 times so far. I've been paying out of pocket but it's worth every penny to feel like a human again and not have to take a ton of the intense medications my Neurologist keeps pushing on me. I only wish I had come here sooner. It's made a huge difference in my life and I can't believe it took me so long to give it a shot. I originally heard about this place as a recommendation from a coworker and now I've been telling everyone I know. read more

I Love this place! I have had a few injuries to my back and then my ankle, and both times, I came to Robert Youngs Acupuncture and they fixed me right up. I worked with Steve for my back issues and Paloma for my ankle injury. Both of them were super professional and listened to my issues and devised a recovery plan to get me back on my feet. Needless to say, I am fully recovered (with absolutely no pain) and it's all thanks to Robert Youngs Acupuncture! Now, I just come in for overall wellness & de-stressing sessions. It's really become such a great part of my overall routine. read more

I highly recommend Robert Youngs Accupunture in particular Paloma. she's amazing. A very relaxing cozy atmosphere. I always feel rejuvenated afterward. read more

Robert Youngs Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I highly recommend Robert Youngs Acupuncture, and Paloma in particular. I had been scared of acupuncture, but Paloma has such a calming presence and a deep knowledge of the body. I now see her every other week, and each visit is tailored to what I need that day. Having suffered from chronic back pain for years, the combination of cupping and acupuncture has really been helping me. read more

OMG! Thank you Denise! I suffer from migraines, anxiety among other things and she's helped me feel so much better! She really listen's and she totally understands how I feel. She really took time to explain what she's doing, how it works and the benefits of acupuncture and cupping. She's gentle and calming and I always leave feeling relieved and rejuvenated. I'm so happy to have found such a great acupuncturist and cupping massage. I've been looking for so long for a legit place and this is it! It's clean and efficient with such a calming ambiance and its affordable! I highly recommend checking them out and booking an appointment. They're quick to respond and are very friendly. Plus the location is perfect, close to Culver and Century city as well as Beverly Hills! Cheers! read more

Are you looking for a legit place of acupuncturists that can provide amazing relief? GO HERE! I've been getting acupuncture, cupping and electric stim for over 6 years now and have tried quite a few places in LA. I love this place because number one they are COVID friendly and the facility is so clean and sterile. I've seen Denise coming here and she's just amazing. She doesn't rush, she's present within her practice and she has a soft touch! On top of that, she provided me with some awesome PT stretches to help with my injured shoulders. Anyways, Denise is the bomb and this place doesn't rip you off, the assistants are always so quick to respond to booking inquiries, So just do yourself a favor and book an appointment! :) read more

Robert Youngs Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Come hither all you skeptical Yelpers and listen on high as I shout from the urban mountaintops of LA that Robert Youngs Acupuncture is the REAL DEAL!!! (3 exclamation marks -- this must be good). Yes, yes, I see your eye rolls, but indulge me for 30 seconds, for I too was a naysayer prior to my spiritual awakening. Thanks to the prodigal son of Eastern medicine Robert Young and his disciple Steve Han, I am sleeping a steady 6.5 hrs (up from 3-4), I experience little to no situational anxiety and I generally feel calmer and "peppier" in my every day life. Once barren straits dried up long ago from the LA grind of broken dreams, my Chi is flowing again like the great Snake River -- surging to & fro through me like Peter Parker's energy after he was bitten by the radioactive spider. IT FEELS THAT GOOD, and coming from an hombre who once cringed just at the utterance of the word "needle," you know I speak the truth. They take insurance, and their assistant Himanshu is probably the most attentive person I've ever dealt with. The cherry on top: Amy their massage therapist is incredibly knowledgeable, equally friendly & professional and strong enough to work whatever knots you bring in. Whatever your ailment is or if you're just like, "damn, now I have to check it out because of that stellar review," get your rusty bag of bones to Robert Youngs Acupuncture ASAP! read more

I have been going to this place for slightly over a month. I made my appointment over email, which is terrific for someone who never has time to make phone calls, and it was BEYOND easy. I saw Robert on first session (and continuous) and he took time to explain to me how the process works, the benefits, and was very intently listening as we were looking to the solution to my pain and gave great advice on how to help him help myself. And being an acupuncture virgin, all this was important to me. I do acupuncture or acupuncture with cupping! The results have been fantastic. I had shoulder pain and knee pain and I feel so much better. The Knee pain is literally gone and my shoulder is beyond what I was when I went in. I look forward to coming here every single week! Also, who could not love the office mascot "Dakota" the most adorable dog :) Thank you for the amazing treatment! read more

I began seeing Steve for TMJ pain and general acupuncture treatment a few months back and it has been so beneficial! I live in Culver City and their office is easy to find and park at - you can't beat the location right in the middle of the city. I do acupuncture treatment, e-stim treatment on the TMJ, and cupping on my back. I noticed results almost immediately and it has helped immensely with the pain. Their office is very COVID safe and clean. I cannot recommend them highly enough - my experience has been fantastic. And to top it all off, the ginger candy in the bowl at the front desk is bomb :) read more

Clean facility, comfortable beds, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I've been coming to Robert Youngs for more than 6 months now for acupuncture treatments to help with chronic digestive issues and bloating. It's been a slow process (and I want to stress that acupuncture is not a cure in case you are experiencing similar symptoms) but I do always leave feeling better. I've had treatments done by Alec, Steve, and Paloma. Each of them have extensive training in holistic healing and acupuncture techniques (which you can read more on their website), though you'll find that each has a slightly different "touch" (I've found that Alec is the most gentle). All of them have great bedside manner and will listen to you as you describe your health conditions each week so they can tailor the treatment to what your body needs at the moment. The office is located across the street from the Marriott, right at the edge of Beverly Hills. There is always water and delicious, freshly brewed goji tea in the waiting area, along with plenty of magazines and wellness/diet/meditation books for you to peruse while waiting (though I rarely have to wait and almost wish I could just stick around one of these days after my treatment to read, haha). They also have a wide variety of herbs and supplements for sale, both from outside brands and their own. Lastly, they employ a virtual assistant based in India to help with scheduling, and Robert is also willing to work with your insurance to help figure out an affordable payment plan/copay. Would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a more holistic path to dealing with chronic health issues! read more

I met Nirada approximately 2 years ago and it was my first time trying acupuncture and cupping. I use to have heavy pain on my shoulders and neck, PMS and since I started I'm feeling much better. I don't even have cramps anymore. I've been feeling so much better and feeling less anxious also. I'm very grateful to have found this place and Nirada. I tried 2 other places later and I didn't fell the results. It was a game change in my life. Keep in mind this is a treatment, so it requires maintenance. read more

Robert Youngs has saved my life. I'm a high-strung anxious person that has trouble sleeping due to my racing thoughts. I'm currently a UCLA grad student, and school can be pretty stressful. I tried drinking herbal tea and yoga to handle it all, but it wasn't enough. Plus I've had terrible insomnia since moving to LA. I came in initially super anxious and scared to do treatments, but I had heard such positive reviews from my classmates so I decided to give it a go. I have NEVER done acupuncture or cupping, but I was desperate to relax. Right away Steve made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and safe. I asked to do acupuncture and cupping. He also gave me sleeping and stress herbs to help with my insomnia and anxiety. While I didn't feel much of a difference initially, I felt muscle tension releasing at the end of the day. After my second visit, the results were incredible. I've had a good night's sleep and have had A LOT less neck and upper back pain. Even though I stretch a lot, I'm on the computer a lot and frequently carrying heavy things which make my neck and upper back really tense up. I highly recommend Robert Youngs to everyone! Plus they give you delicious tea at the end of your visit :) read more

Dr. Youngs is a really amazing and talented acupuncturist and TCM healer! So delighted that I've found him. I've been seeing him now for about a month and I didn't expect to feel so much better so quickly. I had been struggling with some chronic and painful women's health issues and was looking for someone that was in expert in these things. Robert is definitely an expert in women's health issues and I feel so comfortable and confident already that he will be able to guide me back to full health. When I first started seeing him I was in almost constant excruciating pain and now I am hardly spending my time thinking about it. Relief is priceless!! He also works with insurance and was very upfront about costs and billing, which I was so grateful for. I've seen so many (eh hem Santa Monica) Chinese doctors that charge exorbitant rates and only tell you that after you make your first appointment. Dr. Youngs is also just a super cool guy that used to work in the business, so he gets it and won't tell you that you need to stop driving in Los Angeles to get better! Thank you Dr. Rob, you rock! read more

If you're looking for great acupuncture in Los Angeles - this is your place! I have been seeing Denise for fertility (and all of the stress and anxiety that goes along with it) and she has really helped me. She is very knowledgable and really cares! The office is very responsive and flexible. Highly recommend! read more

I've had chronic neck and shoulder pain for as long as I can remember, but recently it's worse than it's ever been. I came here to get acupuncture, which I've been to several other places for before, but Robert combined acupuncture with a number of different techniques that I feel are truly helping my pain. Treatment: He combined acupuncture with e-stim (electric stimulation), infrared heat, herbal patches, & cupping. And what I love is that he explains exactly what he's doing and the purpose of each thing so you understand the effect that each treatment has on your body. Office: The office is a small brown door that can be easy to miss, but look for the ivy-covered brick surrounding a green window. Inside the office is an immediate feel of tranquility and I love that I'm always greeted by the sweetest pup, Dakota. Tip: On your way out, pour yourself a cup of the yummy ginger tea. Mmmm :) read more

I've really enjoyed my visits to Robert Youngs Acupuncture. For the past year, this has been a wonderful addition to my self-care efforts (acupuncture/cupping). All of the acupuncturists are great and specialize in a variety of areas. I definitely want to give extra-special thanks to Paloma and Denise who have helped me manage my health and wellness priorities! Additional highlights: the office is clean and follows COVID safety protocols, my initial session was complimentary, they accept insurance, and there is ample metered parking. Do yourself a favor and book a session! read more

I always look forward to my acupuncture appointments at Robert Youngs. The acupuncturists are so knowledgeable and helped me out with my stress levels and shoulder pain. Along with acupuncture, they use cupping to relieve pain and it works like a charm. They do fertility acupuncture as well. It's like a one-stop shop for majority of the modern-life ailments. I tried Andrea, Denise, Nirada, and Sharon and they were all awesome! Thank you all for helping me out with my health concerns. read more

I had a very relaxing and healing session with Paloma. I highly recommend this practice, very professional and very effective.

Denise is not only the best acupuncturist I have ever received treatment from, but she introduced me to cupping therapy. She is the consummate professional - thorough, helpful and with a very keen sense of what works for her patients. I've made great progress with Denise's treatments in the areas she was helping me with. read more

I started off seeing Paloma at this establishment and wasn't really sure what to expect. Let me start off by saying that I have received acupuncture in the past once before and I also really liked it. I was surprised by how much I like going to my acupuncture appointments. Paloma is very sweet and I genuinely feel like she listens to my concerns every time I go. I started doing gymnastics about 4 years ago and injured my wrist and eventually my ankle so I receive acupuncture as well as massage. Amie, who I see for massage, is also very kind and I feel like she really wants to help my injuries so I can feel better. I was very surprised feeling relief from a massage session on my injuries but I really feel like it has contributed to my healing! As a UCLA student, this business is very convenient and close to campus and Robert works well with students needs to provide you with treatment! The office is also located in a very nice location and the office is well kept! I highly recommend Robert Youngs Acupuncture. read more

Paloma is wonderful! Went in post partum with some tightness in my shoulder and back from breastfeeding and felt relief within one round of cupping. Continued going for the general stress, lack of sleep, and anxiety I was experiencing and am so glad I did. Considering the phase of life I'm in, with two under two years old, the acupuncture and cupping have kept me in better health and a good mental space. I also had some localized stress from my work that she catered to. Paloma is passionate about her work, can communicate the benefits and explain why some spots are more sensitive to those of us who have NO idea what's going on or why. I appreciate the work she does and her bedside manner! The office is simple and stress free, right when you walk in - which is saying something being off a busy Los Angeles street. Only thing keeping this place from perfection is the lack of available parking, sometimes you have to hunt the surrounding area so give yourself time! read more

I've been coming here for over a year for cupping and acupuncture. I love Denise! She is always pleasant and caring. She always asks how my body is feeling and also my overall general well being. I really feel the benefits of the treatment for my neck and shoulder pain. read more

I started seeing Denise a few months ago, brought in as a last resort before having to do carpal tunnel surgery for my wrist pain and tingling. She has been amazing. After a few sessions my wrist is actually getting better (I experienced 6 months of pain), to the point where I don't wear my wrist brace 24/7 and can actually put weight on it and use it in my day to day. Denise has a few tricks up her sleeve - we do acupuncture, but she also changes it up with gua sha and cupping depending on how I'm feeling. I told her about some stress I was feeling and she treats both that and my wrist. She also has great suggestions for activity I can do at home to continue improving my pain. The office is a quick drive from my home in Culver City and the team is extremely patient and accommodating. I cannot say enough great things about my experience! read more

I would be lying if I said I wasn't skeptical and nervous when I first came in for acupuncture. I've been struggling with insomnia for several months and decided to try acupuncture to hopefully get some sleep. Steve was very attentive to my needs and made me feel very comfortable. He also worked on my back muscles with cupping and acupressure which helped decrease my soreness from weightlifting! He even followed up after my appointment to provide extra tips since I don't live in LA and cannot have continual care. The level of care from Steve and the staff is stellar and I would highly recommend this place. read more

I made the decision to try acupuncture to address my anxiety and hormonal imbalance & couldn't be happier that I did. When I first met Alec, it was evident that he was very knowledgeable and kind. I felt a bit apprehensive before my first treatment; however, that feeling was quickly put to rest after discussing my concerns with him and being informed about the best way to treat my conditions. I have also had the good fortune of receiving treatments with Steve, including acupuncture/cupping/electrical stimulation, for management of chronic pain in my left shoulder related to stress. After only two treatments, my posture and pain are much improved. I have been receiving treatments for approximately three months, at least every two weeks, and feel this is one of the best decisions I have made for my overall health. I encourage you to try the services offered here as I am confident you will leave feeling like a better version of yourself! read more

EDIT: after emailing Robert, they reimbursed me a part of what I paid upfront. I called and asked if they take Anthem BlueCross. The assistant (won't mention his name) told me that yes, they are in network with Anthem and they just need to verify with insurance what the exact copay is. So they told me I should pay the cash fee for the session first and then I can get reimbursed based on what the exact copay would be (was quoted $5-$45 depending on my exact plan). So I paid the cash fee yesterday of $110 thinking I will be reimbursed for the amount less copay. Was emailed and told today that the clinic is NOT in network and I am out of pocket $110. This is ridiculous. Why is the business run this way? BTW, the session itself was good. I saw Alec and he was very professional, explained what he was doing. Just a shame the business side of this place is not run the right way. read more

I can't express enough how lovely every experience at robert young's acupuncture is.. truly it's the most soothing, restorative, and effective treatment I've had. My first time was years ago and it was awesome. Recently I got in to a car accident and have been in constant physical therapy and doctors appointments. I injured my knee and back badly in the accident and with all the physical therapy etc my treatments at Robert Young"s have, without a doubt, been the most restorative, effective, and enjoyable. I am so grateful to everyone there. i cannot recommend enough!!!! Even without an injury this is a place for true self care and body and mind! read more

Upon entrance, you are greeted with an immediate sense of comfort. In the form of the most adorable therapy dog ever. The interior is spacious and has great Feng Shui. The staff is extremely attentive and professional but makes you feel at home at the same time. I got acupuncture for stress and boy did it work. Felt like I was at a spa. Came in another session for a massage and it was heavenly as well. Best of all, as a UCLA student with UCSHIP my acupuncture was 100% covered. I did not have to pay a dime! read more

Absolutely love this place - have been seeing Paloma for years for stress/anxiety/life management. Paloma is the best - honestly cannot recommend enough. read more

I highly recommend Nirada Phaphant. This was my first time getting acupuncture and I had an immense amount of pain in my ear/jaw (TMJ) that no doctors were able to help me with. Nirada was patient, attentive, and walked me through every step to make sure I felt comfortable. Within a day after my first session my pain had subsided substantially. I'm so so happy and can finally get a good nights sleep! Will definitely be coming back. read more
