About Laurel Binder

Laurel Binder, LAc, Nurse Practitioner

I love medicine. All medicine. I have been a practitioner in the Women’s Healthcare field for more than a decade. As an Acupuncturist, I specialize in infertility solutions.

I began my career in Women’s Health as an RN in Brooklyn working in labor and delivery. It was in my first delivery I experienced the miracle that happens when five people go into a room and six come out. From that moment on I understood that I was meant to do this work.

After moving back to California, I entered Harbor-UCLA in Los Angeles to become a specialist in Women’s Health as a nurse practitioner. I wanted to expand my skills and knowledge in order to offer more comprehensive care to my own patients. At first, it was exciting to have the new freedoms that my title gave me, however, soon I discovered that I didn’t have the whole picture. There was more to learn and more to give.

I had been aware of acupuncture and alternative medicine since the early 80’s. I had never considered applying it to my patients. Then acupuncture interns from a local school began seeing patients at one of the clinics where I practice. I began referring my patients to them to address the complaints that my western training had not resolved. To my delight, they consistently got results.

After a year of observing this phenomenon, I decided to study Traditional Chinese Medicine to become a licensed acupuncturist. It has been an extraordinary journey. I have learned a whole new perspective on health from an eastern point of view to enhance my Western medical training.

It has enriched my life and I believe the lives of my patients as well. I am now able to evaluate and treat my patients more completely through acupuncture, herbs and a comprehensive lifestyle evaluation.

My love for medicine will always lead me to the best and most comprehensive care for my patients. I look forward to helping you on your journey to radiant health and well-being.
