With his most efficient use of the traditional Chinese medicine, Dr. Miles Read helped me to get prepared for the incredible process of giving life. He enhanced my body's capacity to nourish and nest a new being, first preparing it to conceive; then nourishing it and keeping it in balance throughout the whole pregnancy. He supported me even in very critical moments, thanks to his ability to detect the cause of "illness" not only on a physical, but as well on a mental, and emotional level. E.g., he helped turning a painful fibroid, which appeared in my uterus in the 4th month of pregnancy, into a great tool for emotional healing; not seeing the fibroid as a problem but rather as a messenger. After his treatment, composed of herbs, acupuncture, diet, powerful guidance, and visualizations, the fibroid stopped growing, and the pain completely disappeared. I think Dr. Read has a special gift of bringing awareness and visibility in to a situation that is producing discomfort, and by this helping to bring a solution on its way. The most memorable moment of all was for me Dr. Read's capacity to helping induce my labor with his needles when it was needed...I had a fast and complete natural birth, thanks in part to the wholesome work he accomplished.

I found that the new location and mood of Tilo Medical was extraordinary, and conducive to healing. It was the high point of my week, and I can't wait to return. I have visited that building in the past -- but never the particular suite of offices that Tilo inhabits, which I think are by far the best in that locale. Unlike anything on the Westside. Thank you!

I was diagnosed with cancer, and given six months to one year to live. I was referred to Dr. Reid, but almost got rid of his card. When I heard his voice on the phone, I could feel the goodness and spirituality. He's helped me to take a different approach to life – more relaxed to reduce stress. He has a unique way of eeing where your problems are – very spiritual, supplemented with western medical practices like blood tests. He uses the holistic approach that he lives by himself; he gave me ideas to help me reformat my life and learn the full body approach. My last scan showed that the cancer has not returned. There's no way to know if this is because of any specific thing, but he's helped me to shift my attitude and to try to create the most wonderful mood I can for myself and other people.

Seeing Miles after I’d fractured my arm was a great experience. He immediately made time to see me, even canceling personal appointments to fit me in. His experience in Western medicine is part of his approach. A lot of alternative medicine folks look down on Western medicine and tell you that it's not viable, but he doesn't feel this way. I've referred my mom to him – that's how much I respect him.

-Brad Scoular, Los Angeles, Life and Health insurance consultant

Dr. Reid truly practices "Integrative Health Care” in a way I haven't really experienced elsewhere. He brings deep intelligence, perceptive clarity, and genuine compassion to each session, so that as a patient you feel seen and heard. As for the hands-on work, my experience has been that the acupuncture works at a very refined level, each treatment is a well-thought out response to the needs of the moment, addressing any imbalances before they become problems. I highly recommend Dr. Reid and have brought in a number of close friends for treatment--the true test of confidence in a health care practitioner.

I was referred to Dr. Reid about a year ago. I had been suffering from extreme PMS and with his help I have experienced much relief. He is always kind, patient and willing to listen. Acupuncture has made me feel more balanced and complimented with the herbs, more energetic.

Miles was my last chance before neck surgery! Besides acupuncture and herbs, he also used lab tests, and physical therapy. After two months of treatment, I was completely off Advil! He has this uncanny ability to help you get to the stress in your life, which helps in the healing. He's truly a gifted healer.

– Gina Martucci, Redondo Beach, Real estate agent

Miles Reid has been my holistic doctor for more than eight years. His background of Western medicine made it easy for me to trust and transition into eastern medicine since I didn't grow up with acupuncture. Dr. Reid not only treats me with utmost care, asking careful questions about my condition, but also makes me responsible of my healing. After each visit I learn a bit more about how to listen and care for my body.

-Darien Donner, Los Angeles, school teacher

I first saw Dr. Reid two years ago when I injured my knee playing competitive tennis. He treated me with acupuncture and herbs as well as some hands on body work. Within weeks he had me back on the court and within a month I was able to resume my competitive schedule. Because of his knowledge and treatment my knee has fully recovered. His way of treating the mind, body and spirit, is what motivates me to make regular appointments. During the last two years Dr. Reid
has treated me for hormone imbalance, joint pain and stress. He integrates western diagnosis with eastern treatment and helps me to be an active participant in my own health and well being. Wise, intuitiv and caring; Dr. Reid is a rare find.

-Ellen Cajka, Manhattan Beach, Stay home mom

Miles is marvelous, careful, and just impeccable as a person, physician, and healer. I've relied on him for ten years. He asks a lot of questions and is meticulous in determining the problem. He's professional and kind, without being paternalistic. His offices are beautifully kept.

–Margarita Nieto, PhD., Los Angeles, University professor

My experience with Doctor Reid began when I was unable to get relief for an ailment form that I was being treated for at Kaiser Medical HMO. I had intense pain in my shoulder, elbow and wrist. My wife discovered Dr. Miles Reid and after my first visit with him the pain was largely gone and the second treatment after a week, the pain was gone and I haven't had any pain since. Before this time I had been in agony for over four months. He has helped me with many other things since then, like bloating and asthma among a few. I have had asthma my entire life which included all types of asthmas. After acupuncture and Chinese herbs I no longer suffer symptoms. In short Dr. Reid has made a huge difference in my life and I can not recommend him enough.

-Fred Buell, Hawthorne, Computer analyst

I have been a patient of Dr. Miles Reid for several years. The healing I have experienced, under his guidance and care has been extraordinary. Through a combination of acupuncture, herbs and a specially formulated daily supplement, I am enjoying, at mid-life, the greatest health and well-being of my life. I have come to trust him, not only with my long-term care, but also for seasonal occurrences of flu and allergies. I also appreciate his holistic approach and willingness to work with other medical professionals if a patient so desires. As a primary health care provider, I find Dr. Reid among the very best and would strongly recommend him to anyone regardless of the kinds of health issues or conditions they might have.

-Patricia Spinoza, Los Angeles, Insurance manager

I've been a patient of Dr. Reid for over 7 years and I am extremely grateful to him for taking care of my health for all this time. Last year a few days before New Year’s Eve I got sick with a very bad flu. I had fever, runny nose, scratchy throat and I had headache. I called Dr. Reid and, very fortunately for me, he made an opening to see me that very day. I left Dr. Reid's office and went home, still having three needles on top of my head. That same evening I was much better and after another day of taking Chinese herbal tea (I physically felt how the herbs were restoring my health with each sip I took) I was fully recovered and ready to celebrate New Year. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Reid to anybody who is interested in taking care of her/his own health. Whatever issues you have, be it an illness or just preventive care - you can't go wrong choosing Chinese medicine and acupuncture with Dr. Reid.

-Alexander Dergay, Culver City, Software developer

I LOVE Miles! By talking with you, using Chinese medicine and Westernmedicine, he has a very well rounded sense of what people need. He knows what's wrong with me the minute I walk in the office. Sometimes he tells me what's wrong before I know myself! I was apprehensive about getting acupuncture, based upon a previous bad experience, but with Miles I was amazed at the results right away.

Someone introduced me to Dr. Miles Reid acupuncturist. Miles in my opinion kept me alive long enough to find out what was really happening (a complex undiagnosed set of symptoms). With the acupuncture treatments he provided and his loving and caring hands I had moments of strength and symptom relief enough to get me to the next month. When new symptoms would start after my treatments would fade I would try to find out what was happening to me again. His treatments kept me going and provided me with physical strength when I had none and calmed my mind until we could sort out what was happening. I am grateful with all of my soul to Dr. Miles Reid for keeping me strong until I would find a complete answer to all of my health problems or at least what we have figured out so far.
