Miami Acupuncture Center is a warm and professional environment where the focus of healing is personalized and genuine. I worked with Dr. Jamileth whos deeply committed to her patients well-being, and truly combines her expertise with heartfelt support throughout your journey. Shannon, who is at the front desk, has a welcoming presence that sets a positive tone from the moment you arrive. If you seek effective acupuncture treatment in a friendly atmosphere, this center is highly recommended for its caring approach and knowledgeable staff. Not to mention, the concerns I came in with were all addressed, treated, and have improved greatly!

Really good Fertility Practice, my wife is Brazilian and was raised on many natural means to healing. This was a great background to be complemented by the team here and we believe they were a pillar of support on our way to pregnancy despite some complications we faced in our health

Dr Rafael Perez was successful in eliminating sciatica pain when other medications did not eliminate pain. The treatments were done at his office in Miami and was worth the trip from Broward county. Results were obtained in only three treatments.

The best acupunture center in Miami! Shannon, at the front desk, is such a gem, she assists with so much joy and attention. And Dr. Jamileth is a true compassionated healer! I never experience so much authentic care from a doctor as I did here. Strongly recommended!

I always have amazing experience when I visit their office. I tried a few places before I found them and they are just the best with their service and work. Shannon at the front desk - beautiful human being, always welcome me with warmth and positive energy. Dr. Rafael is very professional, knowledgeable and he always surprise me with his work. I’m so surprised how much change I feel in my entire body. He genuinely cares for his clients and always make sure you get the most out of your visit. I couldn’t ask any better. So glad I found this place.

A friend recommended Dr. Rafael and now I recommended it to everyone because he was the only one that saved me from my pain. I didn’t believe in acupuncture but I was in so much pain that I decided to try. It was the best decision I have ever made.

The vibe is peaceful and welcoming. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed by Shannon’s amazing personality and smile. This was my first time seeing an acupuncturist and I was nervous. I was waking up with headaches everyday and after my first session I woke up headache free in the first week of treatment. During my first session I was able to relax into a trance state, which I have not been able to do in over 10 years of trying to meditate. Dr. Rafael Perez explained everything clearly. I love that he takes time to know his patients. He is very graceful and professional and is dedicated to getting results. I’m very grateful to have learned about Dr. Perez/Downtown Acupuncture from a long time patient who was excited to share results of healing and relief. I concur and recommend him wholeheartedly.

If a hug could be a location - this would be it. This is where you go when you want in-depth information and the space to openly discuss your health. It works in tandem with western medicine to amplify the results and improve overall wellness. In fact, I started acupuncture at the recommendation of my doctor.I have experienced significant benefits from acupuncture that I classify as revolutionary for my overall quality of life - and I’m just getting started on this journey!I really appreciate Dr. Rafael’s candor and realistic expectations about the process. Him and Dr. Lissette are an encyclopedia of information with a real enthusiasm to want to help. Shannon is beyond helpful and so quick to offer a compliment and that adds to the whole experience! I truly love it here and look forward to every session. I cannot recommend it enough!

From the reception to the actual acupuncture, they are very caring and professional. I have been going to Rafael’s for a few weeks now and I can say he does an excellent job listening to whatever you might be going through and helping you improve and feel better. He also does a great job following up with you on every visit to monitor progress and changes and to be able to focus on what’s needed the best way possible. I feel that he has helped me and lot and would definitely recommend him to whoever is thinking of doing acupuncture. I am very grateful with both Shannon and Rafael for the excellent service.

I moved here from Los Angeles where i had a great acupuncture for over 10 years. Dr Perez is just as good or even better. My acupuncture in Los Angeles treated both front and back of my body during a session and Dr Perez is one of the few that does that as well. He doesnt rush you and will spend as much time with you as you need. His office also takes my insurance and Shannon his office manager is amazing at getting me reimbursed. I always feel better and more relaxed when i leave.

This clinic is wonderful! The team is helpful, thoughtful, knowledgeable, on time, not rushed... and Shannon (the Patient Care Coordinator) is so welcoming!I got immediate relief after seeing Dr. Rafael Perez for back and sciatica pain. We put together a personalized plan that fit my specific needs. After a few sessions I felt better than ever.Ill continue going in for maintenance, in large part because its been such a great experience.

Friendly, capable, knowledgeable, effective. Downtown Miami Acupuncture Center has helped me with pain relief after knee surgery - amazing. These days, I spend too much time on the computer, so they are able to make sure my shoulders, neck, and wrists are pain free. If you live or work in Downtown Miami, you would find a better spot than the team led by Dr. Rafael Perez. Plus, Shannon will greet you with a smile every time you walk through the door.

I was really relieved to obtain a quick appointment at Downtown Miami Acupuncture Center, as I was experiencing debilitating pain in my upper back when I first came in.Dr Perez’s work on me was very impressive. After only 2 sessions, not only was my upper back no longer hurting, also ongoing tension, which I had become used to and had been bothering me for years in my neck, shoulder and arm, started melting away.After another 2 successful sessions, I am feeling amazing and I am able to safely exercise again. At each visit I felt understood and supported by Dr Perez who is kind, extremely attentive, professional and precise. I’m very happy.And Shannon is super welcoming and accommodating.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!

I have never experienced such a dramatically wonderful improvement in such little time than I did coming here. I came in with a neck sprain, unbearable back and shoulder pain, and difficulty moving my neck at all. After just one session, I felt like dancing out of there! I was sore for one day after, but the drastic improvement I felt 24 hours later was so tremendous I felt like crying tears of joy. I went back a few days later and after just two treatments, I feel like a new person.Dr. Rafael Perez is so professional and incredibly experienced. He walked me through every step of the way, answered any questions, and was incredibly responsive to any concerns or discomfort. It was intense but painless and left no marks.For those wary of acupuncture, Im telling you, you wont find a better place. I cant recommend them enough, and will absolutely be going back!!

The best acupuncture ever! I’ve seen multiple acupuncturists over 10+ years, in different states, and for different reasons (currently for pain relief) and no one compares to Dr. Rafael. He is attentive and thoughtful in his care- and really works towards accomplishing your individual goals with a game plan. The office is lovely, relaxing and welcoming, everything runs so smoothly. I’m very active in the gym and constantly recommending others who are also looking to optimize their health too check them out. I couldn’t recommend this practice more!

Ive been coming to Downtown Miami Acupuncture for a month now, and am so pleased with my experience there. Ive seen both Dr. Lisette and Dr. Rafael. They both treat you with such care and attention, making you feel at ease immediately and comfortable throughout the treatment. I started going to help with hip pain, and I have seen so much improvement with each session. Additionally, the receptionist Shannon is the absolute BEST! She cares so much for the patients and makes sure you feel great from the moment you enter the facility, to the moment you leave, as well as throughout the scheduling process.Thank you so much to the Downtown Miami Acupuncture team!!

Dr. Perez and his team are angels. I’ve never had a doctor who was so professional, kind and efficient. Dr. Perez was so compassionate during the process and ALWAYS made me feel comfortable to ask questions. I got the results from my treatment with dr. Perez to reach my goals and also discovered so many other positive benefits of acupuncture to heal chronic pain I was having from being so active and a former teacher. Acupuncture changed my life and outlook on how to take care of myself/my body. I am SO grateful to have found Dr. Perez! If you’re thinking of starting acupuncture with a doctor who actually cares about you and is a master of his craft, schedule your appointment with him!

Downtown Miami Acupuncture is the BEST place to get your treatment done. Everyone there is great and kind.Starting by Shannon, who’s GREAT, always in a great mood and very interested in helping you, second by the AMAZING professionals.

I love coming here because I know that I will leave feeling better than I did walking in each time. Dr. Perez explains everything clearly and consciously. He is very aware of my sensitivities in the process and will always works within my comfort level. He sincerely wants to help and cares for overall well-being in a holistic mindset. I kick myself for not coming here sooner for my “needle naps” that rejuvenate me as they help my problem areas. Thank you Downtown Miami Acupuncture!

Review №25

Amazing acupuncture work with immediate results - 1st session and back pain was almost non-existent.I have had acupuncture for lower back pain in my life several times and only with Dr. Rafael did the relief begin after the very first session. 5 more sessions later and I had graduated to full mobility with zero discomfort - back to normal.Having had prior experience with acupuncture, I was prepared for the 30 something needles in every session. Dr. Rafael will work with your comfort level on needles if you require fewer needles, but the more the faster the healing I think. My insurance covered most of the cost approx 70%.

Review №26

As a medical professional, I wasn’t sure what to expect trying acupuncture. However, after many months without success to improve pain, mobility, strength with my knee after ACL surgery, someone recommended acupuncture to me. I came in nervous, but Doctor Rafael eased me with his knowledge, patience, and calm/friendly demeanor. I immediately noticed a difference after one treatment and was able to reduce my pain significantly. Doctor Rafael and Doctor Lisette are both very patient and skilled in treating patients with different styles/modalities. I had improvement with each one. Shannon is always very pleasant and welcoming, making each visit a great experience. I recommend anyone with any hesitations to come for a consultation. You will not be disappointed.

I have been seeing Dr. Rafael for acupuncture weekly for about 16 weeks, and it is my favorite hour of the week. He is extremely nice, knowledgeable in his profession, and eager to help his patients achieve their goals. He remembers me every session and has helped me navigate through health related questions and changes.The office is located inside an older building in downtown, but the office and room are nice, comfortable and cozy. Shannon, his assistant, is very nice and accommodating, and keeps things running smooth in the office.

This clinic is AMAZING! Literally changed my entire health and wellness trajectory. Drs. Rafael and Lisette, and Shannon, are all are truly experts in what they do, but just as important, they are always attentive and easygoing - and make the entire experience totally worthwhile and beneficial. Ill never forget when I started going, Dr. Rafael told me that his goal was to get me feeling better as quickly as possible such that I dont need to come back (aka, the clinic truly cares about its patients wellbeing). Well I had such a positive experience early that Ive now been coming in for a couple years, both at times where I had more acute needs and when Ive had less critical needs/coming in for general wellness and relaxation - and no matter what, I get the same high level of care from the clinic. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

This place is a gem! From my initial call to the clinic with the lovely Shannon, to my sessions with Dr. Rafael. They are so professional, caring and knowledgeable. The place has an amazing energy to it, it is a true healing center. I came for my chronic neck pain and I can’t believe that I got immediate relief after just one session! I know continue to come back to work on my nervous system, stress and my overall health and the effects of my treatments last days. I am so grateful for you guys!! Thank you for all that you do!

Dr Rafael is the most knowledgeable accupunturist I have ever met. He is skilled and amazing at his job. But that is not the best part, he is an amazing human being. You feel welcomed, contained and cared for in his practice. My husband and I are going through a tough fertility journey and Dr Rafael has been there every step of the way. Many of our lab results have improved just because of his work and he has been there for us in some of the most challenging moments.Shannon is the best patient coordinator I have ever encountered in Miami, she cares about every detail, helps you with the insurance claims and by simply making you feel great evey visit.Both my husband and I are so greatful to have found this clinic in Miami.

One blessing I count in my life is to have Dr. Rafael as my acupuncturist. I have been seeing Dr. Rafael at Livingroom Acupuncture for years and I keep coming back to him whenever I need help with pain or any health-related issue, because he always addresses the problem and delivers cure. He is a true healer who combines a high level of knowledge of different techniques with a true desire to get you in perfect condition. His place has a calming, relaxing environment and wonderful Shannon will help you with appointments. In only one session with Dr. Rafael, you will feel 100% better immediately. But you will want to come back for more of the most amazing experience.

Great experience during a time of extreme discomfort! Very relaxing environment with an excellent team!

Dr. Rafael is phenomenal--he is contentious and present with each patient, truly listening to every concern and offering beautiful guidance in addition to his acupuncture services which were SO relaxing. I am trying to get my baby to turn from breach into position and he provided so much more than just a typical acupuncturist session--highly recommend. His assistant Shannon is also so wonderful :) truly amazing!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Living Room Acupuncture or Dr. Raf. I was very skeptical about acupuncture at first, and stumbled upon this place out of sheer desperation to relieve neck and back pain. But Dr. Raf works miracles, and Ive kept coming back over the years every time I have flare ups. Dr. Raf is incredibly attentive, explains everything hes doing and whats causing my pain, and does a fantastic job of listening to my concerns. I especially love how honest he is. he hasnt tried overselling me on services once (Im usually the one insisting on more sessions because it feels so good!). And Shannon at reception is so cheerful and does her best to be accommodating. Its a wonderful experience every time, all around. The office is extremely well run and I honestly wouldnt even consider going anywhere else. Truly a gem of a find.

This place is amazing! After going to numerous specialists with no results, I decided to give acupuncture a try. Dr. Rafael was able to fix my issues within a week, and resolve what several specialists couldnt figure out within 6 months. He is extremely patient, gentle and professional. His right hand Shannon, is also very warm and welcoming, and was able to answer all of my questions during my first phone call. She encouraged me to come in for a free consultation, and never made me feel pressured or like she was trying to sell me something. Every experience/ session is very personalized and tailored to your exact needs. I am so grateful to have found this place, and the wonderful people that work there.

I have been going to Living Room Accupuncture for a little over a year now. I’m totally addicted to my weekly sessions. I feel relaxed the minute I walk in. Dr Rafael adds different techniques like body talk and energy work, depending on what you need. Another unique thing about this practice is that they provide you with a notification button to let them know if you need any adjustment mid-session, or for when you’re ready to go. And Shannon, always so happy and welcoming. I can’t say enough good things about this practice. Try one session, you will not regret it!

Excellent professional and wonderful human being. I went to see Dr. Perez for a shoulder pain and a contracted muscle on one leg. I had this leg pain for over two years. The results of the treatment have been amazing. My husband had an episode of Bells Palsy syndrome (half of his face was paralyze) two years ago and Dr Perez had him back to normal in less than a month. I will always be grateful to Dr. Perez and I highly recommend him. Through his love and dedicate care to his patients you will see excellent results

Dr. Rafael is amazing!! I never write reviews but he definitely deserves it. Shannon in the front office is also very sweet and accommodating. I developed Bells palsy after a really bad ear infection. I went in a few days after I noticed I could not move the right side of my face and immediately saw improvements. A few hours after my first session I could drink water without having to hold my lips closed, if you know you know. I was religious with my appts and after about 3 weeks I was almost back to normal. Dr. Rafael explains everything and is soo gentle. Definitely recommend. If i could leave more than 5 stars i would!!!

I came to Dr. Rafael Perez pretty desperate. I was having severe neck pain and headaches for several months with no relief. After going to several doctors, having an MRI, and trying several medications, my friend recommended that I see Rafael for acupuncture. During the first session, I began to feel some relief. I continued going back and each time continued to get better until the pain was gone. I continued to go to Rafael and began doing body talk with him which I loved! Rafael is extremely professional and made sure I was always comfortable. I would highly recommend scheduling a visit. It changed my life.

Ive been going to an Acupuncturist regularly for many years and have certain expectations on the treatment. I did my diligent research looking for one in Miami. I admit I was hesitant when looking for a reputable Acupuncturist. After talking to the Office Manager Shannon I made an appointment. I was pleasantly surprised with Dr. Perez on my 1st visit. His demeanor and style has exceeded my expectations. If your interested in understanding the specifics of Acupuncture youll get a detailed explanation. Hes never in a rush and makes you feel very comfortable with each treatment. With that being said I get beneficial results.

I had a great experience with Rafael, he is such a great professional and the sessions with him helped me a lot throughout my pregnancy.

Review №48

Ive been going to Rafael for acupuncture for about 5 years now and he has helped me through so many health situations. He always takes his time to listen, asks good questions, and stays in communication during treatment to make sure Im feeling well. I always feel so much better walking out of his office, whether Ive come in for neck pain, a head cold, digestive issues, anxiety/mood, female health...the list goes on. And he has successfully treated so many of my friends as well. The herbs he offers are also affordable and very effective.Little details also make a big difference to me, and one thing that I love about his practice, which may seem silly, is that he uses a hand-held button pager system so that if at any point a needle feels uncomfortable, or I get chilly and need a blanket, or Im just ready to be done, I can just press the button and hes back within a minute. Again, it may seem like a small thing, but it makes a difference and demonstrates a high level of attentiveness and care.His office manager, Shannon, is also wonderful and so responsive and helpful. Just a truly great health care practice all around. They genuinely care and it shows in every detail.

Ive been seeing Dr. Raphael for a couple of weeks now. I went in for a shoulder pain/injury that happened while taking down some shutters. I had the pain for over 5 months.After the first session, the pain was reduced significantly! I followed Raphaels suggesting to continue seeing him at least once a week. After 3 sessions, my shoulder has recovered completely! I have so much more movement in my shoulder than Ive ever had before. Raphael is very knowledgable, patient, and teaches you so much throughout the whole process.I recommend them 10/10. Im going to be coming back at least once a month for generally healing and work.

I am very pleased with the outcome of the treatment by Dr. Rafael Perez. The ringing on my ears have decreased substantially up to the point I can manage my day in a more harmony way. His assistance Shanon has created a welcome atmosphere you feel welcome and your needs are their main concern.Most important Dr. Perez let you manage the time, you feel your need for the procedure to work, you can chose how long you can state can be 30 or more until you push the calling bottom.

I have only amazing things to say about this office! I have been having TMJ pain for years and wanted to try acupuncture to see if it could help. From the beginning, they helped me get the acupuncture covered by my insurance. This office is so incredibly organized thanks to Shannon, and every appointment starts exactly on time with no wait. I have had probably over 10 treatments now, and I have never had to sit in the waiting room.This was my first time trying acupuncture so I was nervous, but Dr. Rafael creates a very comfortable and reassuring environment! It is obvious how much Dr. Rafael cares about his patients, and he is a wonderful listener. He is never rushed in treatments, and always takes his time to make sure you are comfortable. He is also extremely experienced, and has a vast knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine as well as anatomy/physiology.Best of all, my treatments have really been helping. I have tried many things over the years including mouthguards and botox in the jaw for TMJ pain, but nothing has helped as much as the acupuncture. The treatments are also incredibly relaxing and help release a lot of muscle tension.If you are looking for somewhere to get acupuncture in Miami, this is the place to go!

I originally went to Dr.Rafael Perez for a chronic skin condition. Along the way, he treated my neck and lower back pain issues as well as suggesting ways to correct my occupational posture to minimize future back pain. Check, Check and Check.Then I was rear-ended on I-95 and sustained injuries to my arm and hands, which I use for work as a hairstylist.Today I canceled my February appointment with an orthopedic hand specialist because I dont need it. Three sessions, arm and hands are perfect.Dr. Rafael is the best. Shannon is the kindest and most welcoming front desk manager to ever grace a doctors office. Five stars arent enough for Living Room Acupuncture! Thank you both!

I have been going to Dr Perez, as well as referring family and friends, since his early Miami Living Room Acupuncture days, with excellent results for everyone. My first visit was for a post-surgery bout of urge incontinence. I had lost nearly 20 pounds in 2 weeks, and he cured the condition the first visit. My latest sessions (December, 2021) were for what I thought was a hip problem, but he loosened taut muscles and gave me exercises to resolve the pangs of pain. Next year I look forward to some relaxation sessions. Excellent.

Review №61

The most amazing experience. To start with, the staff is simply accommodating and friendly. Then Dr. Rafael Perez is out of this world. Not only does he help with physical issues you may have, but he takes it a step further and explains to you in great detail exactly what is happening to your body. He then tries to provide you with many self help techniques so you dont have to pay for services you may be able to take care of yourself. Goes above and beyond what any other doctor would do. He is not looking at the clock and not only heals you but he makes sure you leave his office relaxed and feeling like you did when you were a kid. I recommend Dr. Rafael Perez to everyone looking for acupuncture !

A healing sanctuary in Miami. I recently received a wonderful, holistic treatment by the highly knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate and personable professional, Dr. Rafael Perez. I went for acupuncture and received body talk therapy as well. I left the place floating, feeling genuinely cared for as a patient and looking forward to my next appointment. I asked myriad questions and he answered them all. A truly enjoyable and healing experience I highly recommend. I have very high standards and Living Room Acupuncture exceeded them.

Dr. Rafael Perez is the best! I brought to him my 94 old teacher who was suffering from acute pain in her thighs and legs. She had spent two months packing up her entire apartment by herself to move to a senior community and had apparently hurt her sciatic nerve. She had tried all sorts of pain killers and stretching exercises and nothing relieved her pain until Dr. Perez cured her in one session! Now she swears by acupuncture. Thank you!!! Personally, he has helped me tremendously, with acupuncture and with priceless advice. His place is a sanctuary, from the moment Shannon welcomes you until you leave, at peace with the world and with yourself. Thank you, doctor!!! Its a blessing to know you are there!

Dr. Perez is UNREAL!!! I had SEVERE pain in my foreheads frontal muscles and in ONE visit he took it from a 10 to a ZERO!!! I keep touching my forehead every 5 minutes because I cant actually believe this happened! Another reason for my visit was sciatica nerve pain - after only ONE visit, the level of discomfort has SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. I wish I could give this place 1,000 STARS!!! As a bonus, Shannon at the front desk is incredibly friendly. I strongly recommend this practice.

As an autoimmune patient with TCM in my toolkit for over 10 years , I can say Dr. Rafael is the one of the most talented acupuncturist Ive ever worked with (in Florida, Northern California, Southern California, & Colorado). I immediately feel a difference after treatment, and we have been able to de-escalate potentially strong autoimmune flares successfully (no small feat). Dr. Rafaels integration of emotional and energetic healing modalities (such as tapping) approaches body and being as a whole, which is helping to tend to the root causes underlying my physical condition. *MAD props!!* Very highly recommend - already giving out their business card. So lucky I found Downtown Miami Acupuncture!

A llittle over a year ago I was in total dispair, my legs were weak and painful, i had plantar fascitis and having had back surgery for severe stenosis no relief was apparent. I was so depressed and despondent that started to consider ending it all and on a friends recommendation I began seeking mental health.Then I heard about Dr, Rafael Perez and today I can sincerely say thar I may owe this man my life because I am now able to live a normal life, free of the pain and limitations that had made my life misrable. To me he is not Dr. Rafael Perez; he is Ralph the Healer! He genuinely cares; he doesnt let you leave until his magic gets rid of your pain. Thank you Ralph! Thank you Shannon!

I was fortunate to come across the Living Room via a fundraiser. Shannon was fantastic prior to my arrival by preparing me via email. She was always very welcoming, careful with covid precautions, and kind. The Dr., was just a welcoming, safe, very kind and careful. It was my first time and I enjoyed it plus saw benefits. The environment is clean, professional and they explain everything. I can’t wait to go back!

Awesome ! really works, i went in with sore & stiff back, walked out feeling great. I 1st went to Dr Rafael about 4 years ago & was really happy with results then ! I wish i had kept it up thru the years. I will now see him at least once a week.Acupuncture is so relaxing I dont even realize the tiny needles in me as i almost fall sleep ~ i think i do, at least for a few minutes anyway.Extremely happy with the staff, my appointment time & the time i saw the Dr. were the same... where does that happen ?

Love Dr. Raphael and Shannon! I was referred to try acupuncture to assist with fertility, and they specialize in fertility assistance here. I was nervous to do acupuncture because Im not great with needles, but they walk me through everything, create a very comfortable environment, and I leave feeling very zen every time. Highly recommend.

Dr. Perez is amazing and the office staff is professional and lovely. I had been experiencing fairly excruciating neck pain with very limited range of mobility since surgery almost a year ago. With one treatment, I have full range of motion and am finally experiencing no pain.

I definitely recommend Dr. Perez for anyone with pain or discomfort in the body. I went in after to see if i could get relief from ongoing acne, headaches and a reoccurring hip pain. The treatments far exceeded my expectations. The experience was not only educational but very relaxing and the pains disappeared completely. I also left feeling much more centered and balanced in my whole body and had a lot more clarity. The environment in the office is so peaceful and you never feel rushed out the door. It’s truly a great place.

Thank GOODNESS for Dr Lisette!!! Ive been coming for treatments with Dr Raphael now for almost 10 years since he opened Living room. And hes always taken great care of all my wellness needs. Recently though, as his practice has grown and my ever-changing work schedule became more unpredictable, it was sometimes tough to make it in. But with Dr. Lisette as the newest member of the Living room team, my on going lower back pain issues are gone. Shes released my psoas muscles, lower back, and hip muscles, while opening the energy channels in the area. Now, I can get treated, during or after business hours, and very soon on weekends as well.THANK YOU!!! Dr. Lissette & Dr. Raphael for healing my constant lower back pain, and getting me moving and physically training at an above average level!!!🙏🏼 Thank You Living Room Acupuncture!!!

Best acupuncture care and patient experience I’ve ever had. I realized substantial improvements where other modalities didn’t work. Dr. Perez and Shannon the Care Coordinator strive for great care and a great experience and they are crushing it — each visit was friendly, professional and effective for me and I’ll definitely be returning in the future as needed.

I went to Living Room Acupuncture yesterday and had an acupuncture treatment done (as well as a Shiatsu massage) with Dr. Rafael Perez. My experience was amazing. I was under a lot of stress when I got there and I can honestly say that I left with a very different feeling. Doctor Perez performed the acupuncture treatment and it REALLY relaxed me. I felt no tension when I proceeded to continue with my day. I highly recommend Living Room Acupuncture (as well as Doctor Perez and his staff) for any of the services offered there.

Review №77

I recommend Dr. Perez without reservation! He has basically cured me of two chronic conditions Ive dealt with for more than 20 years and spent thousands of dollars trying to treat. While physical and therapeutic massage therapy, along with chiropractic care and prescription medication would temporarily reduce my symptoms (neck pain due to stenosis and frequent nerve pain down both arms), none of these treatments EVER provided lasting relief. Acupuncture, delivered by Dr. Perez, has accomplished it! I am thrilled, satisfied and quite frankly....amazed at the level of relief received from his treatments. And Shannon is AWESOME too! :)

After a car accident and seeing multiple Drs. I had no more expectations. Rafael was highly recommended. He healed me with no medications through accupunture and body talk.I was with much less pain since the first session and improved every sessionI have brought my entire family and we all feel the same.Namaste

The other day, on my way back from seeing dr. Rafael Perez (I have been going to the Living Room Acupuncture for the last 5 years every time I feel my body needs an adjustment) on the elevator in my building, I got into a conversation with a fellow elevator rider. Somehow, we got to talking about my acupuncture treatment ; he asked me why I go; I told him that mainly for the maintenance of my health; his reaction after having looked at me carefully was quite interesting: THEY MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT! Let me tell you, dr. Rafael Perez is more than right, he is amazingly skillful, knowledgeable, helpful and caring.

The staff at LRA was great, welcoming, knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating. Dr. Lisette was awesome, probing, inquisitive, professional, unrushed and gentle. I feel much better after our sessions for various chronic aches and pains. The facility is exactly as the name suggests, warm and quiet, making it easy to disconnect and concentrate on healing. Would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Lisette and LRA.

I love this place. Always my first thought when I’m not feeling well. I felt relief right at my first visit. I had a cough for 3 months and my doctors weren’t helping. Dr. Rafael gave me herbs and in 3 days my cough was almost gone. Now, Rafael is my first call.

Relief at last! My mom has been suffering from severe migraines for almost 2 months, possibly due to a small benign tumor she has in the frontal lobe of her brain. In just her first visit she says she feels A LOT better and her head feels like it doesnt have so much noise...she feels much lighter. We highly recommend Dr. Ralph Perez and his staff for their professionalism, caring, punctuality and expertise.

Review №85

This was my first acupuncture session and I didn’t know what to expect. I have been experiencing pain in my neck and shoulders for years that has often led to pounding tension headaches. After one session with Dr. Lissette the pain in my neck and shoulders is GONE! And I have not experienced any headaches since.Dr. Lissette made me feel at ease and relaxed from the very start, she talked me through the entire process, as I am sensitive to needles. To my surprise I experienced no pain during or after the acupuncture session. What I did experience was an immediate and lasting relief from the pain in my neck and shoulders. I have also experienced the return of mobility in my neck that has been lost for years and most importantly of all, my headaches have not returned. I highly recommend Dr. Lissette at LRA

I was suffering from the infamous mommys thumb for months after having my daughter, until I was treated by Dr. Perez.Before trying Living Room Acupuncture, I had gone to several doctors, tried a small cast, ice, heat you name it and I still couldnt move my thumb! I could barely sleep because of the pain. Within 10 minutes, Dr. Perez had my thumb mobile again and more importantly, the pain was almost completely gone after the first session. Ive been a believer ever since!If you have chronic physical pain, give Dr. Perez a try!

Just one excellent experience thats never forgettable. Putting yourself in the hands of Dr. Rafael Perez and assist all his sessions of acupunture in the Living Room Community in heart of Downtown, Miami a place considered by me ¨the retirement of silence¨. Having your body in a perfect balance guarantees and prevents the physical sickeness. Dr. Rafael is a teacher of Energy with his different tequinics that apply with accupunture, body talk, reiki, and other. With his passion and all his knowledge for sure you will find the balance of the minds body spirit and soul.I had a problem with my knee that thank you to his dedication and his intense treatments i have been able to bring down the swolleness and the chronical pain.I Highly recommend and the prices are reasonable and economical.Thank you teacher!!

My experience with acupuncture treatments is wonderful, a while ago my right shoulder was damaged due to work issues, I went to my primary doctor because the pain was not letting me sleep, I had also lost the mobility of my arm completely, my doctor told me He recommended going to an Orthopedic and told me that my problem would probably be solved with an operation. Of course the news horrified me. Someone told me about Dr. Rafael Perez. I contacted his office and we started the treatment. Thanks to his effort and dedication, my arm has improved 95% of its function. I am very happy and we continue working to improve the 5% that I am missing. Thank you Dr.
