Balance Integrative Medicine Acupuncture Hollywood Ilyas Hamid

"In a world where healthcare often feels impersonal and rushed, discovering an acupuncturist like Ily is a gift to say the least. From the moment I stepped into his office I immediately felt comfortable and knew I was in capable hands. His compassion for not only healing patients with his practice but genuinely caring about them as humans is refreshing. He takes the time to listen attentively to concerns, showing genuine empathy and understanding. Each session is personalized specifically to my needs and issues that week. I went in specifically for my TMJ (jaw pain), and little did I know he would be helping my neck, shoulder, back, glutes, hamstrings, and even neuropathy in my toes and period pain!!! (Not to mention he has helped with nutrition and supplements as well) I have tried chiropractors and massage therapists for years and have never gotten the relief that I did in one session with Ily. My jaw felt as if it was going to dislocate and my back was so tight, I had anxiety 24/7. As of today, my jaw is only treated once every 3 weeks, has excessively less cracking and pain, and my neck, shoulder, and back pain is down tremendously. Before Ily, I would get migraines weekly due to the tightness… who would’ve thought, once you start treating one issue others start to follow. Each acupuncture session is conducted with precision and care, showcasing his mastery of the craft. I personally like to call his "craft," excessive dedication and doing God’s work. The results I experienced under Ily's care was/is truly transformative. Not only did my physical symptoms improve significantly, but I also noticed a profound shift in my overall well-being. Ily is the gift that keeps on giving. I am a very analytical and spiritual person, every time I walk out of his office I have gained a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection and learn more and more skills to help me through my day to day life physically and mentally, which would make perfect sense considering the fact that he spends his time teaching students at the school and in office. He has had 3 different students that I thoroughly enjoy being around and who continue to put me in a great mood with their positive attitudes and dedication to learning. I walked in on a traumatizing morning where I felt as if I couldn’t wake up from a bad dream and Ily and Carola were there waiting for me with open arms and made me feel so much gratitude to know how much they genuinely cared about me. There was no one else who could’ve made me feel any better than them in that moment. I’m sure I speak for a lot of students/patients when I say Ily is a mentor to all of us whether he realizes it or not (and we could definitely use a lot more Ily’s in this world). His commitment to empowering patients to take an active role in their healing journey is truly commendable. If you don’t want to read my TED talk, here is a shorter version for you. In a world flooded with healthcare providers, Ily stands out as a beacon of excellence. His combination of personal warmth, professionalism, and astonishing skill makes him a true healer. I am deeply grateful for the impact he has had on my life and 1000000% recommend him to anyone seeking holistic healing and wellness. P.S. If I could give 10 stars I would ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️"

"I recently sought help from an Dr Ilyas Hamid, ‘Illy’ to address persistent chronic pain in my lower back, hip, leg, into my knee and calf radiating into my ankle. My right side was a comp[lete mess! The impact of this pain on my sleep, work, and ability to exercise was significant. And exercising is very important to my physical and mental well being!!! I had tried many other acupuncturist’s ,chiropractors, going to my primary physician, pain medication, physical therapy, as well as therapeutic massage. Nothing had helped me!!! Illy attentively listened to all my concerns and thoroughly assessed the problems associated with my condition. In addressing my hip and leg pain, Illy provided a comprehensive list of alternative approaches to try, ranging from specific exercises that I could do at home as well as lifestyle modifications. He even gave me suggestions on how to drive because I was having so much pain in the car sitting down. This holistic approach showcased a commitment to exploring diverse solutions tailored to my individual needs. The process of acupuncture was explained with clarity and patience. Illy detailed how inserting thin needles into specific points on my body would stimulate energy flow and blood flow promoting healing and relieving pain. The thorough explanation helped alleviate any fear and apprehensions I had about the treatment. And trust me I asked MANY questions which Illy patiently answered with so much knowledge. He’s incredibly intelligent and so very knowledgeable about his field and many many other things. The results from acupuncture exceeded my expectations. Not only did the treatment effectively and almost completely reduce the pain in my leg, hip, and lower back, but it also remarkably alleviated symptoms of restless leg syndrome that I was experiencing for years at night. Illy’s incorporation of holistic treatments complemented the overall positive outcomes, emphasizing a holistic approach to well-being. Overall, my experience with Illy was highly positive. I’ve never had anyone take as much time and care as Illy did with me. His expertise, attentive care, and holistic perspective not only addressed my immediate concerns but also contributed to an enhanced sense of overall health and balance. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking relief from any type of pain through acupuncture and holistic practices."

"Dr. Amid’s practice is outstanding. I suffer of Occipital neuralgia, I had surgery a year and half ago, which left me with severe neck problems. Daily or weekly pain was my cross . I considered Acopunture as a last resort, well… the best call I ever made. Dr. Amid was able to ease my pain, diminish those terrible attacks, regained me LIFE! I highly recommend his practice.

"I'm glad I trusted my gut and came to Dr Ilyas. I brought a family member here who was having some issues for about 2 years that we could not resolve, but thankfully Ilyas was able to guide us in the right direction. Prior to seeing Ilyas, we had been to numerous specialists who could not help us, folllowed by two Holistic doctors, however we knew they were not the ones for us, so we kept searching and found Ilyas. Ilyas is very patient and he really listens to his patients. You can tell he really cares unlike some doctors who treat you like a number. I would 100% recommend him."

"Dr. Ilyas is legit! 5-Stars! I had dabbled in alternative healing before (chiropractic, dry needling, supplements, etc.) and it was always positive. Moving to South Florida, and going through menopause, I needed help that I was unaware of! Dr. Ilyas worked with me and constantly asked me questions that my primary doctor never cared about. After working with him and getting my mind focused on healing my inside and regulating my hormones, I saw progress right away! I started with sleeping issues, hot flashes, poor digestion, coffee addict, which all lead to being overweight due to menopause. It took awhile for me because my issues were all over the place, but after a series of sessions, I am sleeping through the night, minimal (maybe 1) hot flashes, digestion has improved and haven’t had coffee in 4 months and I don’t crave it. Now that my insides are healing, I am looking forward to working with Dr. Ilyas on my watching my body adjust. I won’t lie, I wanted fast results, but after deep dive in understanding the “why” of my symptoms, I am so thankful for the time he spent/spends with me. This is a journey, not a sprint! AND his office staff is awesome! They are attentive, caring and so knowledgeable! It’s a whole package!"
