Tilo Medical

In the spirit of gratitude, I'll express my gratefulness for my first detox with Miles and his team. The detox process has brought my attention to how good it feels to keep a nutritionally energetic balance in my diet as well as the balance I need in my emotional environment. It has turned my attention toward the importance of respecting my body's ""mind"" and needs since this is the only body I have during this stay on earth. I have enjoyed the increased energy, positive outlook, and increased self-healing capacity this practice has afforded me. Now, I just have to manage to keep it up in the face of every day activity and food availability. It is becoming easier to pull myself back in to center on this path probably because the detox has helped me become more attuned to my hunger cycles and how to balance them to support my glucose metabolism. This was well worth my time, energy and expense. I will happily do it again for a further ""tune-up"". Beth more

Dr. Miles Reid has been my primary care doctor for over 10 years, and I can honestly say that I am in much better health now than I ever have been.\r \r He has been able to heal chronic sciatic and neck/shoulder issues I thought I was just stuck with, as well as many other conditions over the years. What I also like is that he has been educated in both western and eastern medicine, and uses the knowledge from both. Each visit, he is very thorough in finding out all the details, then giving a very comprehensive and effective treatment. And the additional bonus is that instead of just fixing whatever is wrong at the moment, the treatments actually make you stronger and healthier overall.\r \r I highly recommend Dr. Reid for healing any health issues you might have! Pros: convenient location and parking, beautiful office, and friendly staff more

Dr Miles Reid is a wonderful doctor with talent, knowledge, great skills and sheer integrity on both the professional and personal level. Dr Reid has been my primary care provider since 1999 and I have found each consultation completely satisfactory in every sense: that is to say, both in the immediate results obtained for the specific theme at hand and also in the creation of a more long term ?umbrella? of well-being and health. Prior to consulting him I had no experience with acupuncture treatments and I have found Dr Reid?s treatments very efficient, providing relief for my medical issues at all times. The treatments, indications and suggestions I have received from Dr Reid have given me a sounder and fuller understanding of well-being and health and how to participate actively in the creation of well being and healing processes. more

Dr. Reid is a fantastic doctor and an even better person. As a chiropractor, I have had the pleasure of ""sharing"" patients with Dr. Reid. He is professional, intelligent, and fun to work with. He has helped my patients achieve a higher level of health and vitality. more

Dr. Reid is a unique, compassionate and amazingly knowledgeable and caring doctor who delivers results. I visited him after having my daughter, complaining of a lack of energy and weak immune system. His treatment noticeably increased my energy and I haven't gotten nearly as many colds. I also took my two year old to see him and he gave her some herbs and showed me how to massage some pressure points on her arms and legs...and she hasn't been sick once since then.\r \r If you need results and demand the best, then Dr. Reid is your only choice. Pros: Very thorough and great listening skills. Cons: I want to go for treatment every week! more

Dr. Reid is unlike any other Dr. I've encountered. He listens with his entire being and tailors treatment to address the root cause of disease and illness. I started seeing him four years ago, after I was misdiagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In laying the foundation for treatment, he said that I needed to look at my body parts as akin to a body of Nations. Cancer is one Nation proclaiming to the others, that all resources and energies are to be marshalled to further its own selfish existence. Sound familiar - makes you kinda wonder no? His guidance, treatment and sharing have served to broaden my idea of overall health. I believe myself to be healthier now at 54, than I've ever been. My monthly treatments with Dr. Reid are ""tune ups"" that further me along the path towards discovery, attention and full awareness. I have a body, Dr. Reid has helped me live through it with an awareness that keeps disease in check. Pros: see review more

I went to Dr. Reid having heard great things about both him and acupunture, but I was sort of skeptical. I am no skeptic any longer. The doctor helped relieve chronic pain that I had suffered in my left knee for several years (having hurt it during a soccer game). His knowledge of the human body is most impressive-- I never would have believed that my knee could be helped without surgery, but I'm able to move around now like I haven't been able to in years. Pros: Great bedside manner; explains everything and is effective. Cons: none. more

As a massage therapist, I refer patients to Miles professionally and use him personally, all the time. I have been doing this for years. I send him patients with all kind of ailments such as chronic pain, migraines, addictions, asthma/allerigies, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ dystunction and pain associated with car accidents plus a whole lot more. Miles takes a comprehensive approach to his patients' healthcare because of his background both as an MD and an acupuncturist/ chinese herbalist. And, even if nothing ails you... for a surefire trip straight to LA LA land that will set your head right with the world, then call and schedule a treatment now. You don't know what your missing!!\r \r \r J\r \r \r \r \r more

I personally have not have the pleasure of being a patient, but I know 5 people who have gone who have all been thrilled with his treatment. He has done some great work with Chinese acupuncture treatments. I cannot wait until I have a chance to go see him myself. more

Miles Reid is a very special healthcare provider and healer. I'm a very busy and active professional and for the past three years I've seen Dr. Reid primarily to assist me in staying focused, calm, and balanced. It has done me a world of good! Over the past 20 years, I've seen several of the best acupuncturists in LA. In my book, Dr. Reid is the best of the best. Before becoming involved in Chinese medicine, Dr. Reid was an internal medicine specialist, so he brings east and west together in his practice. He is very insightful, caring, and spends a lot of time with his patients, more so than any doctor I've encountered. I have referred several of my friends and associates to him and they all rave about him. If you have issues such as headaches, allergies, insomnia, depression, chronic fatigue, stress, stomach aches or your are constantly getting sick, I highly recommend you give Dr. Reid a try. He can address health issues in ways that traditional western doctors can't. He deals with the source, not just the symptoms. Phil Glosserman, Executive Business and Sales Coach and Trainer Pros: knows both eastern and western medicine, professional, caring, highly effective Cons: none that I noticed more

I came to see Dr. Reid regarding my menstrual irregularities as well as a bad flu at the time. It was amazing the change and feeling of well being that came to surface in my life after several treatments of acupuncture. Each time I felt I was being given the tools to learn more about the roots of my discomforts and pain. The gentleness, patience and direct knowledge that Dr. Reid has instantly translated into a new form of healing that I hadn't experienced before. In my opinion you are at the hands of a true healer. Not only did I become aware of my own body and the different cycles that encompass my menstrual period, but how my body functions as a woman. The greatest healing came however when I began to see him and a Feldenkrais expert in the same clinic for my lower back sciatica pain. This one I had decided I was going to live with the pain for the rest of my life, I would wake up leaning over to one side in the morning and that was normal for me, the last doctor I saw recommended surgery for a replacement of discs with no guarantee of complete healing. So I decided that I would rather live with the pain than surgery. All that thinking changed when I began Acupuncture treatments and continued practicing the Feldenkrais method. I no longer take large dosis of antiinflamatory pills, or spends thousands of dollars on temporary relief for my lower back pain. I can say that I feel so flexible and comfortable with my body after so many years of pain that I regularly see Dr. Reid for acupuncture treatments for general well being. On a different note, his office is located within beautiful garden grounds, running pond with fishes and turtles that add to this healing environment. Parking is plentiful and accessible! Highly recommended!! Pros: great location and accessible parking, reasonable fees, beautiful environment!! more

I've known Miles for more than 10 years, and since then he has been my primary care provider. Not only with acupuncture, but he helped me to restore my well-being with herbs and suplements. Specifically, my chronic menstrual cramps disspeared after the first few months of treatments and I learned how to help balance my hormones through food, suplements, herbs and exercises. I highly recommend him! more

I have been Dr. Reid?s patient for almost 10 years. My search for medical care that addresses the root causes of my ailments, not just a treatment for the symptoms, lead to me Dr. Reid who has expertise in both Eastern and Western approaches. He is an exceptionally attentive and thorough practitioner, and he really takes the time to find out what?s going on with you and your life that might be related to your physical condition, and to provide really effective solutions too. Over the years he not only had seen me through several chronic and numerous acute conditions, but he had helped me learn to take better care of myself so I have less need to see a doctor. Highly recommend. Pros: exceptional staff, easy access, beautiful setting more

I went to Dr. Reid due to a chronic pain in my right shoulder, that had been getting progressively worse over the last 2 years. No other treatment had worked and it had gotten to the point that I couldn't raise my arm past my shoulder without severe pain. After just one session with Dr. Reid, I was able to swing my arm over my head with barely a twinge. By the end of the second treatment, it was as if the pain had never existed. I was amazed at how quickly the treatments worked. Two sessions ended two years of pain.\r It really was amazing. more

Ten years ago I had a chronic back problem that was only getting worse with time and that conventional medicine was unable to cure. Some friends recommended that I see Dr. Reid and in a couple of weeks of his treatments that included acupuncture, massages, Chinese herbs, exercises... the pain was gone! Since then it has been a relief in my life to have found someone I could entirely trust for taking care of my health. Along the years, not only Dr Reid treated all my health issues but he also taught me how to take care of my body. Now any trace of that old back problem is completely gone and I feel I have a much better health and am much more confident about it that when I was in my twenties. I will highly recommend him to whoever has health issues or just wants to be energetically at its best to face everyday challenges. Pros: Easy parking, quiet and relaxing atmosphere, excellent results more

I have consulted Dr. Reid for many years now, and always with excellent results. I used to be easy prey to infections of the respiratory system ? colds, flu, etc.; they always knocked me out for two weeks or more at a time, I couldn?t work, couldn?t do anything at all, and taking antibiotics and the like didn?t make it much better because of the heavy side effects they have on me. That has changed drastically since. Whenever I sense the first signs of an infection, I immediately visit Dr. Reid for a treatment, and the infection doesn?t break out in the first place. I get around it, so to speak. And on the rare occasion that for whatever reason I wait too long and the infection has already taken over, with Dr. Reid?s treatment there are less days of being sick and I can still properly function meanwhile. \r But I really have to mention an incident that was outstanding for me. A couple of years ago, I had fallen on my right knee while jogging. It started swelling considerably; the traumatologist I went to said that a bursitis had developed, and that the only way to get rid of it for good was surgery. I was horrified at the mere idea and decided to first consult with Dr. Reid. \r He calmed me down and assured me that he could most probably help me to avoid surgery. He gave me a series of acupuncture treatments, combined with a special, herb-based plaster that every day I had to put on the swollen area. And I couldn?t believe my own eyes: Counting from day one, the swelling grew less and less. I could watch it disappear; after some nine or ten days it was totally gone! I was so relieved and happy!\r So, if you ask me ? Dr. Reid is an outstanding practitioner of the Healing Arts, and I would highly recommend him! \r \r Pros: Amenable and relaxing atmosphere; excellent results; easy parking more

For nagging and chronic conditions that Western health care has trouble adressing, Tilo Medical gets high marks. Five years ago I went to see Dr. Reid for sore knees caused by figure skating after being told by a sports clinic that they would need to get worse before they could diagnose a problem. At Tilo, I began a series of acupuncture and herbal therapy that solved my knee condition, and surprisingly has uncovered, treated and cured layers of pain and discomfort that I either didn't realize I had, or that I had decided long ago to live with. These include back pain, alergies to food, chronic intestinal pain and sensitivity, headaches, weaknesses in the imune system, and other conditions that are present during maintenance visits. What has been a delight is that Dr. Reid listens and treats according to my life situation, and helps me to understand the underlying reasons for the conditions so that I can help myself, and avoid causing recurring conditions. Dr. Reids active and open discussions of options and alternatives has made health care, well... fun. It should also be mentioned that at Tilo, Aerin Alexanders sessions in body work, which include a blend of the Feldenkrais Method, Bones for Life and a natural talent for healing creates the perfect complement to Dr. Reid. Pros: Soothing atmosphere, friendly and open staff, easy parking, good results Cons: Althouch comparitively inexpensive, not all practices covered by insurance more

In 1999 when I went to see Dr. Reid for the first time, I had a minor issue with my health and all I wanted was to fix it. Dr. Reid helped me with that and at the same time he made me aware that everything is interconnected and made me look at my health from a wider point of view. During all these years with the help of Dr. Reid not only I kept my health in good condition, I also learned a great deal of how to take care of myself, including things regarding food, physical and emotional health. I used to go see Dr. Reid only when I had some problem like a cold or something like that, but as the time went I started to go see him at least once in a month or so - preventive care works so much better. The best thing I like about Dr. Reid is that he is very knowledgeable both in Chinese and Western medicine. He uses things from both worlds, for example, once I had a problem with my skin he sent me to do a hormonal profile test, and then based on the result, I received treatments and I was prescribed specific vitamins to deal with it. And the problem disappeared! My skin issue used to get aggravated 2-3 times a year, but since that treatment (it was in 2003) I had no problems at all. That's integrative medicine at its best - looking at an issue from all possible sides. \r \r Speaking of treating colds and flues - it usually takes just one acupuncture treatment and maybe some herbs. Even though I know that it works, it still seems like a miracle every time when I see cold or flu gone the same or next day after Dr. Reid's treatment. \r \r I am very grateful to Dr. Reid for all these years of keeping my health in such great state, I recommended him to many of my friends and colleagues, and I recommend him to anyone who is interested in keeping his/her health in good condition. Pros: Everything more

I am a businessman and a sportsman and Dr. Miles Reid has been my primary health care provider for more than seven years. Dr. Reid no only the ability to get you up and running when you go to him with any illness or injury, but he can keep you from ever getting there if you take the time to go see him for one of his ""maintenance treatments"", which by the way is one of the best treat you can give to yourself. Those treatments will keep you healthy, balanced, feeling great and at your top performance. \r And when he says ""integrative medicine"" he means it ... every aspect of your life and life's environment is taken into account at the treatment room. Thanks to him and his life stile recommendations I've gone years at a time without even catching a cold.\r more

After a couple of years of visiting many kinds of western and non-western physicians, and after trying all kind of pharmaceutical-drugs and remedies to cure my constant stomachache, back pain and fatigue I went to see Dr. Reid. The first words that Dr Reid told me were: ?don?t get discourage because the experiences you had in the past with other medical doctors, now you need to trust that you will be healed?. I did trust the process and trusted Dr. Reid. After few acupuncture sessions and taking some herbs that Dr. Reid prepared for me, I started to recover my strength, in few months the pain in the stomach and in my whole body disappeared. \r \r That happened seven years ago and since then I have been visiting Dr. Reid any time I feel my body is unbalanced or getting sick. Dr. Reid always welcomes me with a warmth smile and patiently listens to my symptoms. Usually I only need one session to feel better and to recover my health.\r Pros: Relaxing and quiet environment more
