Ayla Acupuncture and Herbs

Effective, caring and professional acupuncture

by DebRo at Citysearch

Ayla responded to my voicemail message an hour before she actually started work and agreed to see me the same day. That was my first experience of the caring, professional approach that she has.

My first impression of the reception area and treatment rooms were excellent; clean, calm, quiet and comfortable. Ayla listened carefully to my pain history before starting treatment. She explained clearly what she was going to do and answered all my questions. She also kept checking to make sure that I was ok during the treatment. This approach has continued in every single acupuncture session that I have had.

The acute pain that I was experiencing when I first contacted Ayla has now almost gone. I have already recommended her to one friend and will continue to do so without hesitation to anyone else who asks.

Thank you Ayla!

I came into Ayla on a Thursday with neck spasms so bad that I could barely walk. This was particularly problematic because that Sunday was my bridal shower. When I woke up the next morning after seeing Ayla, I felt so much better. When Sunday came around I was completely pain-free and able to fully enjoy my bridal shower. Thanks Ayla!

• Pros: Clean, pretty space, relaxing

Ayla is amazing!

I have been dealing with a shoulder issue for quite some time, and turned to acupuncture for relief from the general pain and discomfort I have been experiencing. Although I have only been seeing Ayla for a couple of weeks, I feel SIGNIFICANTLY better, and I've been kicking myself for not having come to see her sooner. Ayla knows exactly where to place those magic needles, and does so in a thoughtful, direct, professional manner. At the beginning of every session she always listens carefully to my descriptions of what I’m physically going through, and then addresses them accordingly. I had never been a big believer in "alternative" therapies, but I am now!

I have been nothing but pleased with Ayla and the results of my visits to her. Frankly, the only reservation I had about writing this recommendation is that it may help lead to more people seeking out her services. My selfish fear is that so many people will want to take advantage of her fantastic skills that it will be difficult to get an appointment. But I decided that I'll take my chances. She deserves it, and maybe some good karma for sharing my experience with Ayla will be coming my way.

If you're looking for an unbelievably great acupuncturist, Ayla Yavin should be your choice.

• Pros: Real results

excellent care

I came to Ayla suffering from extreme pain due to endometriosis. Ayla was able to significantly reduce my pain and regulate my period within one month, and give me hope for the future. I was told by doctors that there was no treatment for my condition apart from dangerous hormonal treatment or the removal of my uterus. I was also told that if I did not opt for one of these treatments I would be in severe pain for the rest of my life. I quickly discovered with Ayla that this was not necessarily going to be the case. Her warm-hearted nature and professional manner quickly put me at ease and relief from pain and the stress that accompanied it soon followed. I would recommend Ayla’s care to anyone—especially to those who have been convinced that pain is something that they will be forced to live with, or who are uncomfortable with the options that have been offered to them.

• Pros: better quality of life

very skilled

Ayla is by far and away the best acupuncturist I've seen, and is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.As a martial artist, I have pulled both of my hamstrings before, and usually it takes about 6 months for them to heal enough to be used. Ayla worked on my hamstring after I'd pulled it (again) and got me better than I was before in about 2 months time.

Every time I leave her practice I feel better, and I feel refreshed.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?
