Testimonials
Here are some of the experiences at Tilo
from our patients, for you to get a taste of what to expect
during your visit:
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 seeing 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.
- Anna Contreras, Alhambra, Retired SS administrator
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!

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.
- Amely Greeven, Los Angeles, Editor
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.
- Gwen Fritzinger, Los Angeles, Real Estate agent
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, intuitive
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.

I LOVE Miles! By talking with you, using Chinese
medicine and Western medicine, 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.
