Citrin Wellness

I came to Dr. Citrin in July 2024 after drastic changes in my weight, digestion, mood and mental clarity.  I have always been petite and have never struggled with unexplained weight gain, and up to this point in my life found slight changes in diet or exercise could make me shed weight easily.  In less than 3 months, I had gained 15# with no change in diet or exercise, and my GI tract  felt sluggish, backed up and bloated.  Brain fog was becoming a daily occurrence, and I felt like I was struggling for the first time in my own medical career. After hearing his name from several trusted clients, I scheduled my initial consultation.  He listened attentively and took thorough detailed medical, genealogical and relevant personal history.  He recommend a battery of tests with follow up to discuss initial treatments. Following my diagnostics of full blood work, hormones, Dutch test, Gut Zoomer and SIBO testing, I learned that I was gluten intolerant and in menopause at the age of 45 (which many doctors had told me was not a thing- I was too young).  Dr. Citrin put me on gut enzymes and a gluten free diet to start, and also encouraged weight lifting regimen- I lost 6# in just a few weeks and for the first time in almost a year, my GI signs began to resolve and I didn't feel bloated all the time.  At the next consult we began discussing HRT with the goal to try to get me out of menopause and into perimenopause.  I started transdermal estrogen patches and oral progesterone.  For the first time in nearly a decade, I began having a regular cycle.  Brain fog lifted, and my overall energy improved.  Within 6 months, I was down 10# and feeling better, but I really did want to aim for "best I have ever felt in my life." Dr. Citrin took these goals very seriously and began adding peptides, NAD, and a few other hormone tweaks.  I am now 10 months from my initial consult, and I am down over 20#, and have lost 11% body fat.  I did not lose even 0.5# of muscle during my weight loss due to a diet of high protein, high fiber, and weight training.  Somewhere in the mix, I also realized that my lifelong psoriasis has completely resolved. I have no plaques or "scars" that are normally evident even in periods of clear skin. My hair and nails are growing at an accelerated rate-- my hairstylist is seeing a ton of new growth and commented that my hair is growing faster.  Vitality and clarity are higher than I can remember even in my early twenties. Dr. Citrin is very personable and attentive, his precision and attention to detail unparalleled. Nothing is ever rushed and medical decisions are made collaboratively.  Your medical issues are resolved from the root source and not masked with medications or brushed off as "natural/ normal for this stage of life."  He is a rare combination of scientific rigor and heartfelt compassion that has catalyzed meaningful change in my life.  His office staff are always kind and responsive.  I am so incredibly thankful to be under the care of this clinic.

Wow wow wow! If there were 10 stars, I would put 10 stars! After having gone to every specialist and doctor around and only being told, I had chronic inflammation and knowing I had a bigger issue, I went to Dr. Guy and after running many series of tests he was able to tell me all of the things wrong with me. He was then able to get me started on a healing journey. I was in pretty rough condition. My stomach had almost shut down only producing about 3% acid with leaky gut and my adrenal is being shot. I was a step away from a really bad situation and Dr. Guy delivered the message and the protocol for me in a way that literally has changed my life and saved my life!I could not recommend him and his staff more! If you’re dealing with pain or discomfort and all the doctors keep telling you. It’s just information you’re fine. Please go to Dr. Guy. He will give you the answers!

Dr. Citrin quite literally saved my life. I was dealing with debilitating hormonal issues from an IUD and getting zero answers from other doctors. Dr. Citrin listened to all of my symptoms, was incredibly kind and empathetic, and put together a cohesive AND effective treatment plan. It was such an incredible relief to first even understand what was wrong with me, the details of my hormonal imbalance, and then have a plan of action that actually worked. I will forever be so thankful to Dr. Citrin and could not be more grateful to have gone to him. In short, I COULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH!

Dr. Citrin completely cured my stomach problems when no other doctor could. I’d been having constant and often severe bloating and nausea after every meal for about 3 years. I had seen multiple gastroenterologists and been diagnosed with several conditions, tried various different medications and diets that didn’t work. I was so frustrated and hopeless. The last opinion I’d gotten was that I had severe treatment resistant SIBO, and that the next step was the Elemental Diet, which is a fully powdered diet, for 2 weeks. The stories I’d seen online made it sound torturous, so I went looking for another opinion. Luckily I found Dr. Citrin. He came recommended by my aunt, who had been having her own severe stomach problems her whole life until Dr. Citrin cured them. I was skeptical about naturopathy as a science, but from our very first meeting Dr. Citrin was more knowledgeable about the inner workings of the human body than any other doctor I’d met with. He started with like a wholistic interview about my life, random things I’d never considered from when I was a baby that apparently all affected my system. We did some tests and tried a few different treatment plans. There was definitely some trial and error, but through the whole process he was clear and direct and explained his thought process as we got new information, which was really helpful for me to feel like I knew what was going on. After a couple months of trial and error he found I had a Candida infection in my stomach, a diagnosis I had not gotten before. He put me on a no sugar, no simple carb diet, in combination with certain medications and supplements. It took about 5 months, but I have been eating fully normally for about 2-3 weeks now and the problem is pretty much gone! It is such a relief I cannot even express how grateful I am I found Dr. Citrin. It was not an easy process, but I see now that a process that is long and hard because it really works is much better than a quick fix that doesn’t really do anything, which I feel like is all I was getting from the more mainstream doctors I was seeing. His people are super nice and helpful, and though it was out of pocket/not covered by insurance, it was absolutely worth it and Dr. Citrin will work with you to stay within your financial means as much as possible. 10/10 experience, Citrin Wellness is a gem in the often bleak landscape that is the American Healthcare system.

I met Dr. Guy a year ago because I had joint pain and insomnia. We did some bloodwork, and Dr. Guy worked on a plan of supplements, hormone balancing and peptides for insomnia. Checking in a year later Dr. Guy told me my bloodwork was perfect! Better yet, I feel great! No aches and pains and I’m sleeping. I just don’t know why people around me tolerate not feeling well?

The ketamine program that I completed with Dr. Citrin was amazing. The staff had such a calming presence, making me feel safe and cared for during my sessions which was very important for me going in. The first day after my treatment it felt like a weight had been lifted off me & I was more comfortable in my own skin. The invaluable part about Dr. Guy’s program is that you have a scheduled appointment the next day with the therapist on staff to talk about your experience. I would recommend this program to those who have struggled mentally in any way- it changed my life! I plan on going in for more sessions as I need them in the future

I have been dealing with awful allergy symptoms, post nasal drip, and gastrointestinal issues throughout most of my life; however, I have been working with Dr. Guy for six months, and my symptoms are almost entirely better. My quality of life has drastically improved. Also, Dr. Guy is super personable and friendly and the rest of the Citrin Wellness staff is super inviting and helpful.

Working with Dr. Citrin has changed my life. For over 20 yrs I struggled with acute, GI pain. Previous dr's could not properly diagnose the problem nor provide any lasting relief. After a few short months of working together, Dr. Citrin was able to identify the root cause of my problem and prepare a targeted treatment plan that prevented further flare-ups. 2 years later I am pain free. My quality of life has dramatically improved - no more trips to the ER or sleepless nights. I am forever grateful!

This practice has been nothing but unprofessional for the past 2 years that I've been introduced. The employees are robotic, unprofessional, and demeaning in every way possible. They have yet to ever contribute to doing their job. Every time I ask the simplest of questions, I've been given the run around and never called back or even responded back in a timely manner. They charge an arm and a leg for everything. They had the tendency to nickle and dime you for everything. They even impose a 3-4% charge for using credit cards. I've never heard of any establishment imposing that charge other customers or clients. You offer payment options as a convenience to people for your services. Staff is absolutely useless in accomplishing anything and huge revolving door here. At first I thought it's the staff then I realized it's the employer himself that is imposing all this as well as allowing his staff to be so inefficient. I can't waste my time or money here any longer. Please spare yourselves the time and money and go elsewhere where you are treated with respect and you get what you pay for. Never returning again. You leave multiple messages for the doctor to contact you and he never responds. The staff hangs up on you as you're still talking. It's really sad how these practices get away with this type of behavior.

I did not see these doctors but just wanted to leave a review that they don't accept insurance and are "cash based" according to reception. Just fyi

Dr. Guy and the entire team at Citrin Wellness are absolutely phenomenal. I came to the practice seeking treatment for on-going gut issues, that had been (at best) poorly addressed through minimal testing only (i.e. a colonoscopy at age 30) ordered by a gastroenterologist, that resulted in absolutely no treatment plan despite results indicating levels of extremely high inflammation in my gut. Literally zero treatment plan was given to me other than telling me "you don't have Crohn's or ulcerative colitis"...so of course my slew of gut issues/ discomfort symptoms persisted. After years of discomfort followed by months of feeling completely hopeless and having zero idea how to help myself, I made the call to Citrin Wellness (referred by my partner) and had my initial session with Dr. Guy. Dr. Guy uses a holistic approach to treatment, beginning with a thorough assessment, and then the suggestion of various types of testing based upon your symptom presentation. I was never offered any of these types of tests through the many gastroenterology providers in the past. It was very scientifically clear that several of these tests (two of which were just blood tests alone!) would help the Dr. to get the clearest picture possible around what was going on. I was amazed that even prior to all test results coming back, that he was also able to provide me with some immediate instructions and supplements to soothe the gut while awaiting my results. The additions of the supplements and dietary adjustments were almost immediately helpful. It took about a month for tests to come back and he was able to develop a more comprehensive treatment plan that had me 75% better, the rest was up to me in my opinion, more in the realm of lifestyle changes- to change my diet to a more nutritious one! So I went ahead per his recommendation and schedule a session with Nutritionist Tihiana as I felt lost around how and what to eat to support my body. Tihiana is a superstar. I am seriously feeling 90% better at this point, mood wise I feel better than I have in years. My relationship with food has improved, and I see the value in investing in one's health and the positive ripple effect it has in so many areas of one's life. Thank you Dr.Guy, Tihiana, and to the FANTASTIC staff members such as treatment coordinators Lexi and Asa who were always available to answer questions, and express genuine empathy and kindness. I cannot thank this team enough and recommend seeking treatment with Dr. Guy. Despite likely nearing the end of my treatment and going into maintenance phase, I am happy to know Citrin Wellness is available if any issues arise related to gut troubles etc.

Citrin Wellness is by far the BEST Naturopathic office you will find in SoCal. Dr. Guy and Dr. Kim are incredible in their profession and treatment quality as well as being attentive to not only my needs but to all the patients. But of course none of this can be done without the amazing assistance of Asa and Lexi, who are impeccable treatment coordinators. Communication is key to a geat office, and these young ladies deliver; from scheduling to explaining protocol. I wish there were more offices like them, but who can compare to their top tier skills. Fantastic job to all of you, may you continue to prosper in this profession and always continue benefiting and improving the lives of your community.

Citrin Wellness review I visited Citrin Wellness to have Dr. Citrin do a PRF injection in my knees and I am so happy and thankful that I did! I tore my meniscus about 6 months ago and the healing and rehab journey has been brutal so I sought out this treatment with the hopes that it would help with my recovery. I have been amazed with the transformation I have experienced in my surgical knee in just a few weeks since the injection. It recovers so much more quickly from simple things that used to give it such a hard time and so much pain, stiffness, and overall discomfort; such as sitting in the same position for an extended period of time or trying to push on it to regain my full my range of motion. It is so much more resilient feeling than it used to be and that has brought me sooo much physical, mental, and emotional relief! I also had my non surgical knee done less than a week ago as that one has taken a beating carrying most and all my weight at times but even though it is more recent, it is already feeling better! I am so so happy that I decided to get this done as it has changed the course of my healing journey to so much more positive places. I am living life more fully now that I don't have to cater to such extreme sensitivity anymore and that just feels like a dream! I highly recommend Citrin Wellness, it feels like such a haven! The clinic is so light, airy, and refreshing to be in and every person who works there was so incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive! They answered all my questions with so much patience and Dr. Citrin was so awesome! My nerves were all over the place as I have a fear of needles but he made it as pleasant and breezy of an experience as possible and I am eternally grateful for him and this amazing gem of a place!

I'm an athlete without a sport, a weight lifter and fitness addict. I see doctor Guy for his regenerative medicine services. I've had 4 treatments in a row for my hamstring years that cause me issues in two different ways: one with chronic pain from the surgery I had for my 2.5 cm retracted tendon (ischial origin) in 2018, and on the left same spot that has compensatory tears multiple times throughout my 22 years of non stop extreme athletic life of lifting eating sleep repeating that I love. I went in to try this method with a sober mind, truly not a expecting miracles, more like "can I get it to less pain 24/7, from scale 1-10 a 6 instead of a 10? Four separate treatments later, the left with no surgery on is definitely much stronger, less "stretchy hole that separates during any hip flexion/knee flexion like a squat or deadlift. I'm very impressed with this and since fitness and training is a project for life to upkeep, just like a garden or any other living "organism", I'm foreseeing a natural upkeep appointment routine to keep on rebuilding my own body by manipulating its inflammatory response from the treatments, and I know most people want a "one time thing fix" but hey, that's like asking to get shredded after one whole day of nutrition on point when you didn't work for that the past 364 days... Conclusion : very helpful with my money spent on myself with Doctor Guy. /Founder of FighterDiet

Dr Guy is a magician. He essentially healed my ailing shoulder using a simple protocol that anyone can do. If you have a nagging injury or something that just doesn't feel right in your body, GO SEE HIM. Thanks man!

Dr Guy is great, he's personable and honest. He explained the different options I had to treat my twice dislocated shoulder and we decided to go with the stem cell therapy. It's had a tremendous effect and I have full mobility back while on the way to recover strength. Most of all I no longer have that fear of my shoulder popping out again when I reach for something. I'm writing this review a little over 3 months from the treatment and hope to have even more benefits in the coming months Thank you!

Dr Guy is the doctor you want in your corner. He is the amalgamation of the caring family-type doctor you trust and want to confide in and the cutting edge biohacker where you find treatments that absolutely work yet you never heard of. I stumbled on this place by sheer accident and I'm happy I did. I have been suffering from chronic pain due to back and neck injuries and after a couple of natural treatments I'm already feeling much better than I did in years. I am very much looking forward to keep exploring avenues of improving my well being with Dr Guy. I can tell that he has a lot of tools in that wellness toolbox! Also, his office's follow up and communication is unparalleled. I have never experienced this kind of communication from any physician's office. He offers a free 15 min consult on the phone so you can get a feel if his practice would be a good fit or not. If you are looking for help you have nothing to lose talking about yourself for 15 min with someone who listens.

DR. GUY is one hell of a guy! He's so attentive and knowledgeable and you can tell he takes great pride in his work! I have been to him now for Prolotherapy and a PRP facial with microneedling. I am incredibly happy with the results. I have had bad wrists for years and after a month from the prolotherapy I notice a HUGE difference in my joints and muscles... I have way more strength and am back to my intense workout routine. He is also very cautious and sensitive to my issues and I already see the difference in my face after one week of the PRP facial! Can't wait to see what happens after a month and I've already signed up for another session with him! Dr. Guy is the way to go when it comes to the art of NATURAL ANTI-AGING !

Dr. Citrin is such an amazing doctor. I've never felt more comfortable or at ease with a doc in my life. Unlike many doctors I've seen in the past, Dr. Citrin isn't pushing pharmaceuticals or expensive procedures. He takes the time to understand you as a person and isn't just out to treat your symptoms. He really wants to get to the bottom of things and takes the time to really make sure you understand your treatment plan. I'm so glad I found him and I'm going to be recommending him to everybody. We need more like him.

I am so incredibly thankful I found Dr. Guy when I did. He genuinely cares about his patients more than any doctor I've ever met and is so knowledgeable! When I started going to him I was being treated for a variety of symptoms by so many doctors that would see me for 15 minutes and then prescribe me some "maybe this will work" medicine for a variety of ailments they claimed were unrelated. After 1.5 hours with doctor guy on our first consult I swear he had more insight about my health than doctors I had been seeing for years. And in the end it was a hormone imbalance and a food allergy to milk causing all the symptoms I had been having for so long. I've been seeing him for 9 months and feel better than I have in YEARS! My energy is back, I feel so much less anxious, no more rashes, nausea, throwing up or stomach issues and best of all I got to throw out all those "maybe this will work" medications that other doctors had been having me take for years and had never solved my issues. Thank you thank you Dr. Guy. I am so incredibly grateful for you! :)

Prior to working with Dr Guy, I was experiencing pretty severe sleep issues and lacked energy and mental clarity. After several months of working together, making adjustments in nutrition along with the addition of proper supplementation, my sleep schedule is back normal and I feel much better! Great Job Dr Guy/and Staff...

Dr. Citrin is the most caring doctor I have ever worked with. He spends so much time to understand your family history, your own medical history and any other details that could affect how you are feeling today. He never just wants to dose you with vitamins or herbs but recommend better food or lifestyle choices that will give a better, longterm result.

Dr Citrin is an attentive and passionate doctor. He is a naturopath that really cares about helping. I got to know him over a detox program he put me on (which by the way, everyone should do). I felt amazing after his care so I definitely recommend seeing him!

Beyond thankful for Doctor Guy. After a few years of severe eczema from head to toe, I am finally fulfilled and healed again from seeing Doctor Guy. When I say head to toe, i mean like oozing on my face, skin flakes everywhere, patched down my thighs, everything. I was fighting this battle for way too long and I remember after my first appointment with Doctor Guy, he said you should be healed in about 6 months. At that point, I was desperate for any help. Let me tell youuuu, he was right!! My first appt with him was in December 2020 and it's now end of May 2021 and it was amazing to see my body progress and heal everyday. After every appointment with him, I was always excited and had so much hope for my healing journey. I can't explain how much he helped me. Before I saw him, I was experiencing brain fog, candida, fatigue, severe eczema, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and much more. Today, I am confident to show my skin, I am happy to get up in the morning and overall feeling so much better and energetic! In addition, I never had such a close doctor-patient relationship. He was always there to answer my billions of questions and concerns. I have recommended him to so many people and will continue to do so. Thank you so much Doctor Guy, appreciate you so much!
