Client Testimonials
"I recently started seeing Dr. Ella Gold during my third trimester of pregnancy, and the experience has been wonderful. I had previously seen Ella together with her Dad, Dr. Rick Gold, for many acupuncture sessions to help support my fertility and get pregnant, and that was an amazing experience.
Now working with just Ella, I feel so comfortable and cared for. She really takes the time to listen to my concerns and explains everything thoroughly, which has been so reassuring during my pregnancy.
Right now we are focused on addressing my aches and pains at this stage of pregnancy, namely back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome, and I've really enjoyed working with her and the treatments.
She has such a wonderful nature to her and clearly really cares for her patients. I can't recommend Ella enough -- she is truly a gem!"

"I highly recommend Dr Ella Gold for acupuncture. I have been receiving services from her for quite some time now.
I am a long time patient of the Pacific Center of Health. Ella Gold has trained and practiced with her Dad, Dr. Richard M. Gold, renowned Acupuncturist and Thai Massage expert and a founding member of the Pacific School of Oriental Medicine. I have been seeing Rick Gold for acupuncture treatments for almost 30 years and have had numerous sessions with both of them together and have now received a few treatments with Dr Ella Gold as a sole practitioner.
The treatments with Dr. Ella Gold have been very effective. Ella is kind and compassionate and has a very comforting manner. She has shown competence and expertise in her treatments and best of all I have felt great afterwards. She is very thorough and she is experienced in many aspects of life and health and she is a great listener."

"I just had an unbelievable acupuncture session with Ella. This wasn’t just standard acupuncture -- it was a truly mystical and transformative experience. I could literally feel the pain in my foot slowly dissolve and release during the session.
I walked in feeling completely rattled and tense, but left feeling elevated, calm, and deeply relaxed. It felt like a profound meditative journey rather than just a treatment.
Ella is an old soul with a truly magical presence. She understands acupuncture on a deep, intuitive level that goes far beyond technique. I was so impressed that I immediately booked three more sessions before I even left."
