I was referred to Dr. Boxer as a 34-year-old seeking treatment for infertility. I had already undergone several attempts at IUI and one unsuccessful round of IVF. When I asked my doctor about acupuncture, he suggested I see Dr. Boxer, and I began weekly appointments about two months before undergoing my second round of IVF. Dr. Boxer accompanied my husband and I to the embryo transfer at my clinic so I could receive acupuncture immediately before the procedure, and it was ultimately successful – I became pregnant (it’s a girl!). I have continued to see Dr. Boxer on a weekly basis into my second trimester to improve circulation, aid implantation and treat pregnancy symptoms. Throughout my treatment, Dr. Boxer has been a great support, positive and encouraging, and offering advice based on her knowledge and experience. Dr. Boxer has created a relaxing and comfortable environment, and looks to customize treatment

More often than not, besides treating and alleviating the aches and pains, I leave with a HIGH — feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. 

I’ve also availed myself of her knowledge of nutrition and Chinese herbs.  I now eat very well balanced  (she turned me on to excellent books and ideas that are not fads.  Just great and fantastic).   Several of her cold remedies and vitamins  are  excellent and most effective. Good energy ,knowledge, effectiveness, pleasant, accessible and flexible to the client’s needs— -that about sums up Dr. Mindy Boxer.

I tried a few different acupuncturist in Santa Monica and found that while the treatments worked for my upper back pain, the experience was much like going to the dentist. Then I started going to Dr. Boxer and had a whole different experience.

The treatment rooms are very relaxing and spa like, not at all clinical like the others. Dr. Boxer also adds lots of nice touches, like tea while you’re waiting and music of your choice while in treatment.

She did a very thorough assessment of my health, including diet, sleep, stress, medications and personal questions to see how they could be contributing to the pain and how she could customize my treatments. This was way beyond the standard form every doctor gives you to fill out and then promptly ignores.

Dr. Boxer herself is very personable and has an obvious and very genuine interest in the well being

I started seeing Dr. Mindy Boxer for acupuncture treatments in February. I was almost 39 and wanted to start a family. I had anticipated it taking a while to get pregnant and having to undergo potentially stressful and costly fertility treatments. But my husband and I found out in March that we were able to get pregnant on our own and would have our first child in November! I have to think that the acupuncture, which reduces stress and is reported to improve fertility, as well as the supplements Dr. Boxer provided and the guidance she offered for adopting a more healthful diet all contributed to our ability to get pregnant quickly. Dr. Boxer is knowledgeable, nurturing, has a positive energy, and is fun to work with. I look forward to my sessions with her each week, and so far I’ve had a relatively smooth pregnancy. I highly recommend Dr.
