Testimonials
A tremendous help
Dr. Vivian has been a tremendous help to me. She is very knowledgable and skilled in Chinese medicine and herbs. I appreciate that she is focused on her area of specialty and can explain the root cause of specific physical symptoms though the lens of Chinese medicine. She has followed up after appointments to make sure the treatment is addressing the original issue appropriately and has squeezed me in for same day/next day appointments even though her schedule is always booked. If you are looking for caring and truly skilled TCM practitioner I very much recommend Dr. Vivian!

Dr. Shou is literally an angel on earth
Dr. Shou is literally an angel on earth. I have been seeing her for years now throughout different phases of my life and she has always been a saving grace. If you are pregnant, I highly recommend you to see her for assistance with your delivery. She treated me during both pregnancies and while both pregnancies were wildly different, both deliveries were amazing and I have no doubt it was due to her hands!

Dr. Vivian is incredible at what she does
Dr. Vivian is incredible at what she does. I had chronic, debilitating pain from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Dr. Vivian has almost completely eliminated my pain in just a few sessions. She is extremely compassionate, kind, and it is easy to tell she is invested in her patient’s wellbeing. I could not recommend her more!

Coming to Dr. Vivian has been the best decision of my life. In our very first consultation she explained to me everything in detail that I needed to know, She started doing my fertility treatment that same day. After a few months of treatment I can happily say I’m 4 months pregnant !!!! You’ll be surprised how much Dr. Vivian can help you make your dreams come true. She sure is a very knowledgeable Doctor and has great bed side manner. Thank you so much Dr. Vivian for all your professionalism and your hard work in making my dreams of a mother become true.

Before deciding to do acupuncture as a method to treatment endometriosis pain, I was not a believer until I had two sessions with Dr. Vivian. I noticed immediately my intake of pain medication reduced significantly. Dr.Vivian is thoughtful, thorough and accommodating when in need of an unexpected session. She’s precise in delivery relief to specific pain areas. I highly recommend Dr. Vivian to all in need of an alternative medicine for pain management and other types of health issues.

I had never done acupuncture before in my life, and I was always skeptical about it. But, Dr. Vivian is truly fantastic, and her treatments really work. I originally came to her over a year ago when my wife and I were struggling to get pregnant for nearly two years. Magically, we got pregnant within a month of starting treatments with Dr. Vivian. While we know there was likely some luck involved in that, we also feel that Dr. Vivian surely helped it happen with her combination of herbs and well timed acupuncture treatments targeted at creating the best conditions for pregnancy in both of us.
After my wife got pregnant, I noted how good I was feeling after the treatments, and I have continued to see Dr. Vivian ever since. She has an excellent bedside manner, and really listens and cares about what is ailing you. As far as her placement of the needles, you just know when she is doing it that she knows what she is doing. I always leave Dr. Vivian’s office feeling different, and usually much calmer and sometimes even slightly euphoric. It’s difficult to explain, but very real. But, I think it takes someone as skilled as Dr. Vivian to really get this level of benefit. As you can see, I would highly recommend her!

Between health issues with my husband and myself, we had not been able to become pregnant over 2 years of trying. After about a month of working with Dr. Vivian and implementing her recommendations, we became pregnant and are incredibly grateful to her for that. I certainly recommend her for fertility issues, but I really believe in her process and would recommend her to anyone with recurring issues with anything.

I have a lengthy history with gastric issues and due to some harsh treatments was left with the aftermath of the wreckage such as nausea, bloating, constipation, vertigo, and the list can go on. I’ve gone to Dr. Vivian numerous times in tremendous stomach discomfort, fully distended bloating with a bad case of the spins and leave after a session feeling renewed. I’m a huge advocate for holistic medicines/treatments and have to commend Dr.Vivian for her patience every session to diagnose the problem at hand and take the time to tailor the best acupuncture treatment for me as she does for every patient.
I’ve recommended her to everybody in my family, from my cousin who now goes regularly to acupuncture for his sports injuries, my mother who goes to acupuncture for menopause relief, my aunt who has found pain relief from acupuncture post breast cancer, to my grandmother, who had partial facial paralysis due to a poor combination of her daily prescription medications. After 2-3 electro-acupuncture sessions my grandmother’s face regained elasticity and proper muscle function despite being told by her physician that she would only gain those benefits after 6 months of facial physical therapy.
The key to Dr.Vivian’s success is that she truly takes the time to listen. Each session feels like a mini health evaluation… body, mind, and soul. Her acupuncture treatments are seamless,without feeling a prick, but once she’s done its amazing the results you’ll feel especially if done properly as a process rather than a one time visit. Simply put, she’s amazing!

I’ve been to a variety of acupuncturists, but I have never been in the hands of one so knowledgeable and skillful as Vivian. She is a true healer, brilliant and wise and wonderful. I travel from my home in Los Angeles to see her in Miami whenever possible. She is a kind and soothing presence, and heals heart and mind as well as body.
I cannot say enough about her; I have total trust in her skill and her advice.
I have gotten results from her I haven’t seen anywhere. She’s treated me for broken bones, a severe soft-tissue knee injury that refused to heal, and long-term chronic conditions. Furthermore, she’s been critical in helping me establish an understanding of healthy eating to support her fantastic work
Reproductive health is her specialty and she has been fantastically helpful in dealing with PCOS, and should I need help with conception, I will be on a plane to Miami to see her. She is well worth it. I was astonished at how incredibly effective she was with other issues as well; she is tremendously knowledgeable and talented.
I realize a great many people turn to acupuncture when Western medicine has failed them, but my advice is DON’T WAIT. It’s amazing how quietly powerful and effective a healer she is.

I was pleasantly surprised to have results after the first treatment!!! I actually started feeling hungry (Vivian helped my metabolism begin to work again) the day following my treatment. And, I was able to sleep that night as well!
Thanks to Vivian, I feel energized, am sleeping and resting, and am actually losing weight as my metabolism “kicked in”.
This is great as these were my initial goals. However, as I started to share with Vivian some of my other ailments, she began to address each one quickly. One of those ailments was that I suffered from acid reflux and lived on antacids. Well, since Vivian treated me for that, I have no need for antacids!
I am a true believer and have referred my family and friends to Vivian. As I speak to others who go to acupuncture, they tell me that I am lucky to have found such a special healer. I am told that not all acupuncturists are able to bring the results I am seeing and that I am truly blessed to have found someone with such a special touch of healing. I believe them as I cannot adequately describe the specialness I feel from Vivian. I am truly blessed to have found my healer.

After the first session I felt noticeably better with a major reduction in symptoms. I did around 6 visits (1 per week) and felt great and symptom free. Her husband is a brilliant doctor with an incredible knowledge of herbal and vitamin supplements. With his help and the acupuncture treatments, I was able to eliminate all my meds and I felt fantastic. That was two years ago.
Today, I’m now doing 1-2 sessions per month to maintain the benefits. Interesting fact, I’m now exposed to twice the Career stress and responsibilities than before and I feel great. I’m not sure how to thank them….. they are incredible practitioners and great people too. Listen to their suggestions and knowledge-apply the information into your fast paced lifestyle – then witness a significant quality of life improvement, both physically and mentally.
I highly recommend Vivian and I have to my wife, sister and whoever else needs help…. truly amazing results.

I started my first acupuncture treatment at Dr. Yi Bin Shou-Litman during my first and only IVF cycle. I had read on several articles how effective acupuncture was for IVF and other fertility treatments. Although skeptical I went to my first treatment and that same day I experienced changes.
That night I was able to sleep and the fluid retention from the hormone treatments improved significantly. Although the IVF treatment was unsuccessful I continued acupuncture and my husband also started the treatments. He has been a diabetes patient for more than 10 years and suffers from retrograde ejaculation.
Today, I am 8 weeks pregnant.
With the combination of Acupuncture treatments to both of us for 6 months 1 hour every week, very mild treatments of Western medicine, and a natural diet of organic food, vegetables and fruits we were able to accomplish pregnancy with IUI. My husband last sperm count was 70 Millions with 60% motility versus the initial numbers of 45 or no sperms and sometimes 0 to 3% motility.
During the six month of acupuncture treatment Dr. Yi Bin Shou-Litman treated me for detoxification from the hormones taken during my IVF. She also treated my husband’s diabetes which is almost under control.

At five weeks, an ultrasound detected a yolk and gestational sak. At six weeks, an ultrasound detected a heartbeat! For many women these milestones go unnoticed, but for women who are struggling with infertility, the detection of a heartbeat is a huge hurdle to jump. I continued weekly acupuncture sessions throughout my first trimester and found that my early pregnancy complaints are minimal. Acupuncture was able to relieve morning sickness and boosted my energy level. During the second trimester acupuncture helped me to relieve stress and anxiety and strengthened my pregnancy.
I am now almost 35 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. I feel a sense of calm and confidence that I did not know was possible following two miscarriages. I truly believe that Dr. Shou’s acupuncture treatments combined with herbal supplements were a huge factor in the success of this pregnancy. Any woman who is struggling with infertility should consider acupuncture and other forms of complementary alternative medicine.

On the other hand I was feeling overwhelmed, depressed, I felt that I did not have control over my personal life. I worked in the medical field and as every person that is reading this article knows “STRESS” related to anything in general is the leading cause of health problems today. I personally was lacking of energy, mistreating my body, not focusing on my goals, and I was not doing it on purpose. I scheduled my first appointment with Miami acupuncture clinic Dr. Vivian Shou-Litman, the most gentle and peaceful person I have ever met in my life.
That day I only told her about my physical problems but not about my emotional problems and what was amazing to me was the fact that she could feel it. I’ve been doing treatments since February and I consider myself a proof of how much acupuncture can help you. Today my medical issue is resolved and as Vivian and I were talking on my last appointment I had noticed changes in my life. I feel different, and I am acting differently towards myself and all of this became possible because of the gift that she shares with us, the greatest gift that I definitely recommend to every human being that I get in contact with: Acupuncture. It will change your life.

I am a 37 year old female who benefited from acupuncture during IVF. I used acupuncture to improve my overall circulation and blood flow to my uterus. My diagnosis for infertility was male factor, but I still used acupuncture to improve my overall well being, to give me the best chance at conceiving and carrying a baby full term. I started 4 weeks before conception, and once pregnant I continued with acupuncture with Miami Acupuncture Physician Vivian Shou-Litman for the first two trimesters. You can’t always know why one pregnancy makes it and another doesn’t. But I believe that my acupuncture treatments as well as burning a Moxa stick (herb) over my uterus helped me conceive and carry my miracle to term.

My experience with Doctors is they identify symptoms then apply a reimbursable solution without examining alternatives. Having been referred to Dr. Vivian Litman, I explained what I thought she wanted to hear, symptoms .. and was surprised to be asked simple but powerful questions about my health and life. Vivian has her own sense of my health and what it could be .. she shares her thoughts with great insight and gentleness. She uses her knowledge and her science to stimulate my body to heal and protect itself. Her care and methods are so special and so different than what I have been used to for 50 years … I choose to believe she is magic.
