In addition to his interest in the politics of acupuncture, Ilan is a compassionate and caring practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He has extensive experience treating Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal disorders, Immune deficiency, Digestive disharmonies and other issues. He apprenticed with Dr. Richard Tan in San Diego and developed an effective and immediate method of pain relief. As a student of Yoga, Ilan emphasizes the emotional and spiritual components of each patient’s journey to health and wholeness.

In 2004, Ilan started teaching Dr. Richard Tan’s Balance Method in Israel. On average, Ilan travels to Tel Aviv and other cities biannually, to bring to his birthplace this unique and effective system of treatment, which has influenced his practice and improved the lives of many of his clients.

In March 2005, Ilan accepted an invitation to join the Thousand Oaks clinic of renowned Orthopedic Surgeon, Donald deGrange, MD, practicing two days per week. Many patients were referred to acupuncture in lieu of surgery, or as a post-surgical modality to accelerate their recovery. After Dr. deGrange retired in 2008, Ilan spent a year working with Carolyn Pieszack, MD, in Westlake Village.  In addition to his busy private practice in Simi Valley, Ilan now sees patients on Mondays and Wednesdays at Xcelerate PT in their state of the art facilities in Thousand Oaks.

In his leisure time, Ilan is an avid racquetball player and hiker and enjoys riding his mountain bike along the beautiful trails of the Conejo Valley. Ilan is married to Lesley, an acupuncturist, gifted healer, and partner in the practice. They live with their two children, Matthew and Danya in Newbury Park.

Lesley has studied extensively with Tapas Fleming, founder of TAT since 1994 and is both a Certified Practitioner and Trainer of TAT. In 2004, Lesley began studying Sound Therapy with Acutonics co-founder, Donna Carey. The Acutonics Tuning Fork System integrates Eastern and Western science, medicine, mysticism, and music to connect acupuncture, acupressure, and trigger points with the Music of the Spheres. In Sound Therapy, a vibrating fork is activated, vibrates, and then applied to the body at acupuncture points creating a gentle, non-invasive way of harmonizing and healing the body. 

Using her knowledge of alternative healing techniques and her experience as an acupuncturist, Lesley combines her many healing modalities to create harmony in body, mind and spirit.  She works together with her patients both young and old, helping them with various ailments including low back pain, sinus pain, headaches, kidney stones, shoulder and elbow problems, ADD/ADHD, autism, allergies, nerve damage, tumors, infertility, emotional issues and stress, to name just a few. Lesley has been married for over twenty years and lives with her husband and partner in the clinic, Ilan, and their two teenagers in Newbury Park, California.
