Being treated by Dr. Larisa is so much more than a simple doctor's visit. The quality of care is unmatched to anything I have ever experienced. I always leave her office feeling rejuvenated, cared for and most importantly, understood. She doesn't just treat symptoms, but transforms her patients from the inside out, concentrating on a lifestyle change while providing extensive knowledge and tools for maintaining health.

She specializes and offers treatment in so many different areas, including nutrition, skin care, beauty, hair growth, Ayurveda, blood-types, astrological chart readings, detox therapy, botox recovery, light therapy acupuncture, reiki, and emotional therapy, to name a few.

Her supplements offered are of the best quality, imported from Europe, made to order and can even be customized based on each patient's needs. Personally I have noticed a significant change in the past couple of years not only in my health but also my emotional well-being since becoming a regular patient.

When I first came in, I was on the border of adrenal collapse, completely exhausted, fatigued and my hair was balding. But I was diligent. I came in to visit regularly, took my supplements, followed her dietary advice and did several kinds of treatments. I am happy to say in just a few months I recovered dramatically. My hair came back! And the best part is, it was all done naturally.

I no longer need to take so many supplements, which is thankfully one of Dr. Larisa's goals. I never feel she is trying to sell me her products. They sell themselves. Also, she doesn't need to do much marketing or self-promotion because she is able to rely mainly on word of mouth. As a patient, that speaks volumes.

I am a working singer/actress/entertainer with an exciting but also very stressful job that takes me all over the world. Managing different time-zones, staying rested and maintaining a healthy diet has been a challenge to say the least. But since working with Dr. Larisa, I feel so much more equipped to manage it all. She has become more than a doctor. She is a life-coach. She makes time for Skype or phone appointments when I am abroad or unable to come in personally. She is my first stop when returning to California. If I am not always able to pick up my supplements, she simply has them sent to me.

I've included pictures of the ingredients labels for my favorite supplement bottles. I highly recommend her Sleep Save supplement for a restful night's sleep. Also, the Energy Boost, for a caffeine free pick-me-up to get you through the day, and actually help you sleep better at night.

I recently have been using her skin care treatment and I don't want to use anything else! My favorites are the papaya enzyme toner and cleanser, and the collagen cream and masque.

One of my personal favorite treatments she offers is the non-invasive face-lift and the collagen builder. I have seen radical results in the last two years since being treated. I can't believe it! I have managed to look younger and my face has stayed lifted.

I am a firm believer in investing in my peace of mind. With Dr Larisa, you know there are no scary side effects. I will never do Botox again. Her treatment is so much safer and yields better, more lasting, more cost effective results.

Payment plans and monthly package deals are available. Go for it! I consider the improvement in my mind, body, spirit and overall health to be priceless. Dr Larisa has changed my life.

I first started seeing Dr. Gruer about 2 and half years ago. I was in a very low state of health and desperate to feel better. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 15, I am now 32. Once I hit my 20s I was in a fibro flare for almost 10 years! I had seen hundreds of different healthcare professionals from western med doctors to chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage and everything in between. I had tried everything! I didn’t really get anywhere in the way of healing from fibro until I started working with Dr. Gruer. Her knowledge about chronic conditions and healing is so extensive!!! And she helps beyond the traditional ways we know of. She is so kind and supportive. I also started seeing her son Dimitri for acupuncture and he is incredibly skilled! I’ve seen about 5 others acupuncturists and their methods usually made me feel worse. Dimitri’s method is gentle and minimal yet extremely effective. My condition is manageable now and I am doing things I haven’t been able to do in years! I went back to work, raising to kids, recently married, able to work out again, my sleep is better, the list goes on and on. I wish I would have found her sooner and I could have saved thousands of dollars over the years. The natural way is not easy or inexpensive but that’s because it works. I was diligent and took her advice and she never steered me wrong and now because of all her help and my hard work I consider myself well on my way to being fully healed from fibromyalgia and it’s all thanks to everyone at The European Institute. Thank you!
