Dear Dr. Kessler, "For years I went to doctors all over the country to treat my low back pain. You took care of it. I can't say how much that means to me. Thank you!"

Acupuncture provides safe help for a wide range of health problems including chronic and acute pain. Positive results are typically felt within 1-3 sessions. Frequently there is total elimination of pain. Acupuncture may be an alternative to surgery. Pre-sterilized single-use needles are used. Acupuncture is inexpensive and non-invasive. Health care plans, worker's compensation, and auto insurance often provide for payment. ( back to top )
Dr. Dennis Kessler uses acupuncture to treat a wide range of health problems, and maintains a special interest in the management of pain. By looking at pain from a traditional acupuncture approach, and from an in-depth orthopedic, neuro-muscular and anatomical perspective, he combines acupuncture with specific stretch exercises that can quickly relieve pain.
Each of us respond differently to the same stimulus. Ideal systems of health care recognize our individuality, and work with its unique pattern to bring us to our highest level of health.
For over 36 years, Dr. Dennis S. Kessler has been developing and perfecting a powerful system of acupuncture to effectively treat and energize patients who have, in the past, shown little or no response to 'traditional acupuncture' or to other medical treatment. His style of acupuncture addresses the strengths and weaknesses, disease tendencies and inherent characteristics of each person.
An initial office visit with Dr. Kessler includes an individualized treatment, based on a detailed history, examination, and evaluation. He works with you to determine the best way to meet your individual needs, and takes the time to answer questions. Follow-up visits are scheduled with flexible appointments including Saturday hours.
YOU ARE WELCOME to call Dr. Kessler at 310/552-0649 with your questions, or to schedule an appointment. His office is located on North Bedford Drive in Beverly Hills, where he combines a professional approach to treatment in a medical setting, with a comfortable atmosphere for positive results!
