If you don't like needles, don't let that scare you away from getting treatment from Dr. Lala!…read more Dr. Lala's team set up the appointment and sent me a link to complete the "paperwork" online. WOW.... there are a couple of good reasons this is done online and in advance! There are a lot of questions asked about the patient's medical history for which it's best to allow time for either reflection or to ask family member members for help. Another is to sit with a list of medications, dosage, and frequency to give the doctor a good, all-around view of your health conditions. It took me a couple of sessions - just information gathering - to complete it fully. This is is only a preview of things to come. Dr. Lala himself has a very calming and reassuring demeanor. He immediately put my mind at ease by asking me what was making me nervous and addressed it right then. During this first visit, it was very clear he is extremely thorough. He asked A TON of questions but, at no point, did I feel judged in any way. As a plus-size woman, menopausal woman, this was a HUGE relief. He actually validated some of my concerns related to my migraines when other doctors disputed them. Now the needles... On the whole, I didn't feel them at all. I barely felt a couple of them but there was NO pain! He left me to relax with the relaxing sounds of ocean waves for about 20 minutes. I started get an aura, which is often the sign of an oncoming migraine, and still had some leftover pressure from a migraine earlier that day. He adjusted a couple of needles and BOOM! Both were gone! What the what?! My insurance referred me to Smart Health; I believe I would've chosen Dr. Lala regardless of the referral. I'm excited about the prospects of it helping to relieve my migraines.

As a Kaiser patient it can sometimes be difficult to find quality alternative treatment providers…read morebut in finding Dr. Lala I *scored*!! My knee had been bothering me for no obvious reason - never had knee pain before. The office and treatment rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable. Dr. Lala answered all my questions and was aware of my nervousness. I went for several sessions and the pain lessened considerably.

" Debroah Explains,Cares,And Is Very Detailed "…read more My wife has been going to Deborah Barry for a few sessions and has already felt some good results from Deborah detailed Acupuncture methods. Full Circle Acupuncture in La Mesa has a very nice front counter assistant. Lori Gonyou has a very nice personality and is nice to talk with. Lori sets up all of Deborh's appointments and is also a Reiki Alternative Medicine Energy Healing Master Instructor. Deborah's detailed methods of Acupuncture while using a variety of Herbal Homeopathic Medicines, make her patients visits a pleasure to attend.

I really wanted to love this place. I've had very positive experiences with acupuncture in the past…read morebut I've since moved and was looking for a place closer to home. I wish I had read the yelp reviews more carefully because I would have known to ask for Deborah. I would expect holistic healthcare practitioners to be patient and non judgmental but that was not my experience with Adam. Even though my first visit was not great I bought the 3-visit package because I was so desperate for relief. I followed his instructions to change my diet (no cold foods) and took the herbs he prescribed. I finally stopped taking the herbs after a couple weeks (Adam was not pleased, "Do you WANT to get better??") because they come in a powder form that does not dissolve in water. The taste is almost unbearable. I wish Adam had told me sooner that the herbs can be purchased in pill form. I did begin to feel better and believe that diet, herbs, and acupuncture are healing. I'm going to look for a different practitioner to continue my treatment.

Melanie is so intentional about helping me with whatever the issue may be. She is easy to talk to…read moreand very understanding. I always feel at ease in her care and she always has great tips on how to follow up at home care. She is the best!

I had never been for acupuncture therapy, and I'm not comfortable with needles. In high school, I…read morecouldn't even puncture my own finger tip to study a blood drop in biology. So I was hesitant to try this therapy out. I have a very old knee injury to my left knee. It has been twice the size of my right knee for 24 years. My sports injury doctor really was at a loss, so he sent me to see Melanie and told me she was fabulous. I trust this man, so I called and made an appointment. I came for my first appointment and Melanie made me feel very comfortable and at ease with everything. She explained what she was going to do and doing every step of the way. I stared at the ceiling because I didn't want to watch the needles going in. I didn't even feel the first couple and barely felt the 3rd, after that it was very easy. After my first session I was very relaxed, so relaxed that I wanted to take a nap. I never nap. She explained to me that since this injury was so old, it was going to take a while and several sessions to see a difference. What I noticed after the first session was an immediate lessening of pain. What I noticed after a few sessions was that my swelling had started to go down. It's amazing, I can actually wear high heels again, and I have not been able to in a long long time. On one of my sessions I came in and my neck was painful, so I laid face down and had my neck worked on too, that was awesome. I'm a long way from healed, but I am way ahead of where I was just a month ago. I really look forward to my sessions and time with Melanie. She and I have the most amazing deep conversations. I can't stress enough how much this alternative therapy can really help so many conditions.
