Testimonials

Satisfied Client:

I have been a patient of Larisa's for years. I went to her frustrated having autoimmune symptoms treated by western medicine without ever getting to the root of the issues. I have seen dramatic differences since working with her. She is a fountain of knowledge and I would recommend her highly to anyone interested in or wondering about acupuncture.

Satisfied Client:

I came to Larisa with awful hot flashes, cold sweats, dizziness, and a persistent buzzing noise in my ears at night. I was constantly exhausted from lack of sleep, not to mention depressed. The medicine I was prescribed for sleep made me groggy the next day, and antideppresants left me emotionless. I'm a college teacher and an artist--these issues really affected my business and how I interacted with my students.

After my first treament with Larisa from Chicago Acupuncture, I slept all night. Amazing! My hot flashes are completely gone. I come in for a treatment every 2-3 weeks to keep my health and body in balance.

Larisa is a great acupuncturist. She spent a lot of time with me, explaining my issues and how Chinese treatments work. Thanks so much for letting me enjoy my life again!

Satisfied Client:

Larisa helped me lose weight and get my energy back. I don't sweat profusely anymore! No fuzzy thinking at all, either.

Satisfied Client:

I came to Larisa for problems with hormonal acne that I've had since I was a teenager. I've had some moderate success with other practitioners in the past, but not nearly as good as since I've been working with Larissa. She did the most thorough history taking I've ever encountered taking into account my diet, stress, family history etc. She also spends considerable 1:1 time during treatments answering questions and offering suggestions, some based in alternative medicine and some more traditional. I feel like her combined knowledge of both western and Chinese medicine offers a distinct advantage over most primary care physicians or acupuncturists. I did weekly sessions for over 2 months and since then, she's continued to chart my basal temperature, and promptly offer advise via email on herbs/hormone supplements based on the time of my cycle as well as other health concerns. I'd highly recommend Larissa to anyone, and will certainly continue to work with her for management of this or other health issues I may (hopefully not) have in the future.

Satisfied Client:

I came to Larisa after trying many other places. She is the one who helped me, gave me the hope and I didn't have to go through dozens of appointments to feel better. Larisa's technique must be different because I felt better right away - after the very first treatment. Also, Larisa gave a ton of useful recommendations and she actually changed her recommendations as I was making more progress in battling my numerous issues. I really felt that I received personalized attention. The only thing I am afraid of now is if she decides to retire or move out of Chicago.

Satisfied Client:

Larissa has been amazing. I went to several acupuncturists in the city after having an amazing one in nashville and no one compared. Finally I found her. Not only has she helped with my issues but she has given me insight into things I had no clue could be causing them. She is very educated and gives a medical reason for problems but unlike most doctors spends a very long time talking to you about when they started and ways to treat them without medication. She is the best acupuncturist in the city and I'm positive about that.

Satisfied Client:

I am extremely grateful that I found Larisa, and I see this relationship as some sort of reward from the universe for trying my best, for putting in an honest effort to be a good person. I will be with Larisa for as long as she is practicing.

Satisfied Client:

After receiving weekly treatments from Larisa, I am a new person. She is very nurturing and incredibly intelligent and truly listens and takes her time and pays attention to everything I say, and I feel like her background in western medicine gives her a truly well rounded perspective to any issue I have had. I have been to two other acupuncturists in the city (when she has been out of town) and have never received the same benefits with the others as I have with Larisa.
-Misha

Satisfied Client:

Larisa is a wonderful acupuncturist. She listens well, communicates effectively, and gives great advice. I went to her for issues with depression, anxiety, and a self-mutilation form of OCD . I have gotten a lot more relaxed and optimistic, and the compulsion to mutilate myself has decreased significantly. All in all, I am amazed and thrilled with the results.
