Personalized Care for Complex Health Concerns

Thoughtful Care. Clinical Clarity.

Dr. Bhatia (formerly Dr. Larowe) holds a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU). She is licensed with the California Acupuncture Board (CAB) and is nationally certified with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). In her doctorate program at SCU she completed a specialty track in reproductive medicine and graduated Cum Laude. Her program included 1000+ hours of Western Medicine didactic training, a series of unique integrative medicine courses, courses in research and evidence based practices, in addition to a full Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine curriculum. Her clinical internship was completed in an integrative health care center. A diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes at the age of 28 and Hashimoto’s a year later was the catalyst for pursuing a career in healthcare. Dr. Bhatia completed undergraduate courses at UCI and UCSB finishing a Bachelor of Arts in Asian Studies. The last year of undergraduate school she spent abroad in Seoul, South Korea as an exchange student at Yonsei University. Throughout her childhood she was exposed to science and mechanics through her father who is an engineer. She was also introduced to language and culture from a young age and has studied multiple languages. She enjoys discussion, out of the box thinking, and viewing life from different perspectives to satisfy an internal curiosity of the world around her. These interests and experiences along with her education have enabled her to practice compassionately and translate between Western and Eastern medicine to develop treatment and guidance that is unique to each individual she works with. FROM THE PRACTITIONER "I specialize in helping people reconnect with their health through personalized, evidence-informed care. My background blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with a modern understanding of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and the complex factors that influence long-term wellness. Many of the patients I see have already explored multiple therapies, providers, or treatment approaches without finding the answers or progress they were seeking. My approach is rooted in looking beyond symptoms to identify patterns, contributing factors, and opportunities for meaningful change. In addition to acupuncture, I incorporate nutritional guidance, detoxification and cellular wellness strategies, regenerative therapies, and lifestyle-based interventions when appropriate. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, hormonal concerns, fertility challenges, environmental exposures, unexplained symptoms, or simply looking to optimize health and longevity, care is tailored to your unique needs and goals. I believe healing is rarely one-size-fits-all. By combining clinical insight, traditional wisdom, and individualized care, my goal is to help patients gain clarity, restore function, and build a foundation for lasting health."
