Lotus Center for Integrative Medicine

The Lotus Center for Integrative Medicine gave me my life back. Let me be more specific. Rena Haley, my acupuncturist, gave me my life back. In 2009, I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease which is an inner ear disease that causes vertigo that can last up 4-6 hours. These episodes were sometimes very frequent and I had to alter my plans often as a result of them. I had gone to several doctors that prescribed different medications for the disease but nothing worked consistently. The next step was invasive surgery that only had a 50/50 chance of working. I wanted to exhaust all avenues before doing that which brought me to Rena in 2019. I was truly at the last step before inner ear surgery. Immediately after treatment my vertigo issues improved greatly but still did not go away completely. After altering my treatment and my herbs - I had my last vertigo episode over 3 years ago. For nearly 10 years - I never went more than a few weeks without a vertigo episode and now I am going on my fourth year. That is truly unbelievable to me. I am very fortunate to be a very healthy person other than my Meniere's disease and between my medication, acupuncture, herbs, and dietary changes I am living a completely normal life - thanks to the hard work, dedication, and persistence of Rena. She has truly given me my life back. I could not be more grateful and appreciative to her and her team. What sets Rena apart from other practitioners is that she listened to my issues and researched what she could do to help me. I truly believe that Rena's passion and dedication will work if you give it a chance to do so. I recommend her with all my heart and the team at the Lotus Center has been so very wonderful for me.

I’ve been a patient at Lotus for almost 3 years now. I found them after my second miscarriage desperate for help. They are the real deal. I’ve sought help from so many different areas of medicine, but Lotus has by far been the place I’ve loved most and found the most healing. I went to them for fertility help but what I really found was that they do so much more, they specialize in problem solving. After working with Wendy for awhile, I was in the best health of my life. She helped me heal from so many long-standing issues. And I went on to have my beautiful daughter who I affectionately call my Lotus baby. Wendy supported me throughout that entire pregnancy, way beyond just acupuncture. I’m incredibly grateful to her, she is SO good at what she does. She’s compassionate, wise, trustworthy, and friendly--someone you look forward to meeting with. Although I primarily worked with Wendy, I can say it’s really a collaborative practice. Each the practitioner brings something unique to the table and together they make a super team of health experts. I’ve also worked with Rena and Brandon, did NET with Steve, and now take my daughter to see Annie for pediatric care. I have had great experiences with each of them. Even after having my baby I’ve stayed under their care and continue to see what an amazing asset they are. I’ve gotten mastitis a few times in my breastfeeding journey, and I’ve taken herbs specially formulated for it and seen just how quickly the herbs take care of things. Wendy has gone out of her way to get me those herbs quickly at the first sign of mastitis, and her magic formula has saved me from multiple rounds of antibiotics, I’m so grateful for that. The folks at Lotus work hard and really prioritize their patients. Can’t say enough about them. They’re seriously my one stop shop. They can successfully address so many different health issues, and if it’s something that needs to be referred out, they know exactly who to send you to. I look forward to continuing under their care! I’m so happy to be a patient of Lotus. Truly grateful.

I have been wanting to write a review for a while now. I am so glad I was referred to lotus center for integrative medicine. Wendy is a true healer, I came to her with so much body pain, aches and Perimenopausal symptoms including the lovely hot flashes. Wendy is extremely knowledgeable and an expert of what she does. I have tried other acupuncturists before and never got results. The results with Wendy have been so amazing. They treat and heal many issues. The center is extremely clean, Cautious and aware of all covid protocols. staff is Courteous and friendly. If you are in pain, don’t wait call and make an appointment, give it a try, you will not regret it. Thank you Wendy!

I have been receiving acupuncture treatment on/off since 2003 by a master acupuncturist in West Los Angeles. When I walked into LCIM's door, my expectations were high. I was immediately received by a warm staff and clean environment. There is a calm energy at the center and there is a sense that the practitioners and staff work as a great team. When I saw Rena for the first time, she was knowledgeable about my case since she reviewed my intake forms beforehand. She asked a few follow-up questions about my general health practices and then she treated me with incredible gentleness. What struck me the most was her ability to 'feel' the points where my meridians experienced some stagnation. She was open to feedback and spending extra time with me when necessary. I saw her once a week for at least two months. If you do not have a health insurance package that covers acupuncture treatment, like me, acupuncture treatment can get very pricey, quickly. But since I was involved in a car accident, my insurance covered my treatments. Otherwise, I would not have been able to enjoy the treatments so easily. Also, Rena referred me to Steve for Neurological Emotional Technique treatment. They worked together to tailor their treatment to my needs. Rena emailed me a report that included a survey of my condition, treatment and further recommendations. Also, when I moved states, Rena was willing to speak to my new acupuncturist to continue treatment. My muscle tension has subsided and I am a happy camper. :) Thanks LCIM!

I can't say enough good things about the Lotus Center. I have been going to Brandon Horn for acupuncture and herbs for over a year now due to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). He is a good listener, and is actively engaged in trying to improve my health. I find that he is willing to take time with me -- I don't have the sense that he is ready to rush out to get to the next patient like I do with so many physicians. He welcomes questions by e-mail in between sessions, and he always responds in a timely way. He has also been actively engaged in my struggle to be approved for disability benefits (which can be difficult for CFS sufferers), writing letters of support or rebutting denials. In addition to help with my CFS, I have experienced improvement in a number of more minor health issues that I've had for a long time. Sometimes it is from the acupuncture, but other times it is from his recommendation of just the right nutritional supplement from his vast store of knowledge on the subject. This is my first experience with acupuncture, and I was fortunate to find the best right off the bat!
