We had the good fortune of connecting with David Shirazi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
That you have to do what everyone else is doing, and thats just how it is, particularly in Medicine. It seems like it never mattered if any treatments worked or not, but as long as “protocols” were followed, than everyone should be doing that.

What should our readers know about your business?
I could probably write a book about all of these, I hope you ask me separately 🙂 My practice is dedicated for the non-surgical treatment of chronic head and neck pain, sleep apnea and snoring and functional orthodontics in children and adults. I had no idea when I started my career as a dentist and then as an acupuncturist that I would arrive here. I knew I would have a service based practice but to see and be able to witness the change and happiness in people is something i hope more people get to enjoy. Its very similar to volunteering for a cause you really believe in. Owning a practice and managing staff I believe is a challenge for every doctor, Ive never met one that had that job easy!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Theres so many options in LA, the sky’s the limit! if they want something like Disney Land or Universal Studios we will go, but not until we go to Roscoes Chicken and Waffles first, next door. The beach is of course a must along with 3rd st Promenade and my personal favorite is hiking in the malibu mountains, after a drive through the canyons!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am blessed with the best mentors anyone can wish for in life, that I can easily say! The teachings and support of my mentors Dr Nordstrom and Dr Olmos and Isabelle Benarous are truly second to none. An honorable mention as well is the ongoing support of the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre family, which are all over the world with over 70 locations and doctors who are like minded. The University of Santa Monica family with their dedication to Spiritual Psychology and realizing that we bring peace and love to the world by releasing the false beliefs about ourselves, individually, that made us think we arent all connected and loved. My family and close friends are where Im able to be vulnerable and share and clear my own challenges in life, and I cant put a value on something as essential as that.
