TESTIMONIALS

Irina Tokar saved my life. I understand this sounds like an exaggeration, but if you read my story I know you will agree. When I was referred to Irina, I suffered from chronic sciatic back pain and anxiety, both which I was somewhat managing with medication. In addition, I was having trouble staying pregnant; I had two miscarriages earlier in the year. Irina treated both my mind and body; she took the time to develop a comprehensive treatment and truly understand not only my symptoms, but the reasons behind the symptoms. She was completely dedicated to my well-being and happiness. After a few sessions focusing on my anxiety and pain, I no longer needed medicine. Medicine I had been on for years, numbing me to my emotions and slightly masking my aches and pains for short periods of time. Gone! Then, she turned her focus towards the biggest anxiety of all: my desire to have a baby. She helped me track my ovulation cycle, which was completely off after the two miscarriages. After gaining an understanding of how my cycle was incorrect, she was able to adjust my ovulation to the correct day. After only two cycles, I was pregnant.

Of course, given my history of miscarriages, it was hard to hope but I couldn’t help it. Irina was there, twice a week, keeping me calm and managing my pain without medication. Once morning sickness started, she was able to give me lasting relief from nausea, which I had until my eighth month. She also helped me sleep and stay calm as the months progressed. Irina was also able to tell me the sex of my baby based on my pulse! My baby sat on my sciatic nerve, which was the source of past pain. It kept me from sleeping and from being comfortable. Irina saw me often throughout my pregnancy and at least weekly during the last few months. I don’t know how I would have managed without her treatments; they helped me sleep, relax, and manage pain. Irina got me to the finish line and celebrated my daughter’s birth as if I was her own daughter! Irina saved my life. She gave me hope. Hope for a life without chronic pain or dependence on medication. Hope that my problems could be cured and not just managed. And, the greatest hope, the hope that I could one day be a mother. As I look down at my daughter while she nurses, or watch her dance and sing and play, or hear her laugh, I know without a doubt my daughter is here today because of Irina.

Irina has been my go to doctor for many years for pretty much everything.

Some years ago, I had several blood tests in a row that showed that I had elevated liver enzymes. I was puzzled as I had never drank so much as a drop of alcohol in my life, was in good physical shape, had what most would consider a very healthy diet, and was otherwise completely healthy. My family physician was equally puzzled.

I came to Irina for help. She designed a detailed nutrition and supplement regimen specifically for me. I followed it to a T, and within a few months, my blood tests were completely normal!

A few years ago I hurt my back weightlifting. After just 2 sessions of acupuncture with Irina, my back was completely recovered! It was like magic!

Whenever I have so much as the common cold, I come running to Irina. After following the regimen of vitamins and herbs that she prescribes for me, I’m back up and running after just a few days.

I can’t recommend Irina highly enough, she is truly a miracle worker!

I've worked with Dr. Irina Tokar for many years clinically and can only highly recommend her and her TCM/Acupuncture practice. I see her personally and have also sent many of my patients to her. Highly recommended!

I was referred to Irina by a friend for acupuncture treatment 3 years ago, and I have had such amazing results with her for various health issues. Recently, my left arm had limited mobility due to severe shoulder pain. As a result, I was not able to sleep well and had little energy. After being treated by Irina, I was able to regain full mobility, and the pain has subsided 100%. My sleep is no longer disrupted by shoulder pain and feel much better overall. I'm truly thankful for having Irina in my life and highly recommend her.

Irina Tokar is a professional acupuncturist who is thorough, compassionate and treats the entire body in a holistic manner. I came to her with severe back pain and within several treatments my pain subsided considerably and now I’m pain free. She is a very knowledgeable and caring practitioner whom I would highly recommend.

Dr. Irina is truly the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s had a more profound impact on my health than any other doctor I’ve seen over the years. Her care feels so personal—she remembers the details and always looks at the bigger picture, not just isolated test results. Beyond being a wonderful acupuncturist, she also guides me with supplements, recommends the right tests, and interprets results in the context of my overall health. She has a rare gift for blending traditional and integrative medicine, making her approach both modern and holistic. On top of that, she’s constantly learning and bringing the latest medical research into her practice. I couldn’t be more grateful for her care!

I went to Dr. Irina Tokar for many years. She treated me with acupuncture and herbs for multiple conditions, including arthritis, hip and neck pain. She always asked about my condition and the results of the previous treatments. She always listened to me attentively, delved deeply into the problem. Many of my issues were resolved and I consistently felt much better during our treatments and afterwards. She has magical hands. She always achieved very fast results. After only two sessions, the pain in my knees, hands, neck, and shoulders was alleviated. I am very pleased with the results of my sessions with Irina. After moving out of the Bay Area, whenever I visited, I would always extend my trip to get acupuncture treatment from Irina.

I’ve been seeing Irina Tokar for many years, and she is truly exceptional. Over time, she’s helped me with so many different issues — from severe colds and migraines to stomach pain and knee problems — always with outstanding results. Her treatments are deeply healing and she takes the time to understand the root of each problem, not just the symptoms.

In addition to general acupuncture, her facial acupuncture is absolutely amazing. The results are natural and rejuvenating — my skin looks fresher, smoother, and tighter after every session. It’s become one of my favorite treatments.

I’m so grateful to have found such a skilled, caring, and intuitive practitioner. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for both wellness and beauty benefits through acupuncture!

The best day of this year was when Irina returned from her sabbatical! I highly recommend Irina. She has helped me so much with period-related migraines, significantly improving my quality of life. Beyond that, she consistently takes the time to address any other pains or health concerns I have and looks at overall wellness, not just one symptom. Her care is thoughtful, thorough, and effective, and I always feel supported and listened to.

I was referred to Irina to do cosmetic acupuncture. I began cosmetic acupuncture with Irina on the eve of my 50th birthday. In the introductory consultation, she was very attentive and asked me about my concerns and desired areas of improvement in a great amount of detail. She also asked me detailed questions about my general health, diet and lifestyle. She explained how her style of cosmetic acupuncture works. I liked that it works not just on the face, but on the entire body. She explained to me the details of the procedure, the general plan, and we devised an individualized plan for me. After the introductory ten sessions, I was very happy with the results. I noticed that my skin was smoother, had a homogeneous complexion, and my face looked fresh. I then continued with the maintenance treatments and the changes persisted.

I have been receiving acupuncture from Irina for over 10 years. I have severe chronic arthritis affecting my shoulders, hips, and knees. I do a series of treatments every few months. After these treatments, I experience a huge improvement in my symptoms. Irina also recommended supplements, vitamins, and Chinese herbs for me. These combined remedies have provided me with huge relief from my symptoms.

Every time I have problem, be it pain, digestive issues, stress, I see Irina. Every time, I am amazed with the results. She is a true miracle worker. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and very attentive. I would highly recommend her services.

I was experiencing digestive issues. My friend referred me to Irina. She prescribed lab tests to asses my gut health and food sensitivities. Based on the tests, Irina developed a treatment plan involving probiotics, diet, and weekly acupuncture sessions focused on digestive health. The results were amazing. My symptoms completely disappeared. I have continued to do maintenance treatments with Irina, and my symptoms have not returned.
