“This is not just a practice or a job for me. It is a mission.” -Lara Rosenthal
Lara Rosenthal - Clinical Director, LAc
“I come from a long line of rabbis on one side of my family, and doctors on the other side. This is how I have come to walk the earth: as a bridge, between body and spirit, between Chinese and Western medicine. This is not just a practice or a job for me. It is a mission.”

Currently, she is the clinical director of Rosenthal Women’s Health & Fertility and runs the acupuncture program at the NYU Langone Health Fertility Center. She has served as a faculty member at her alma mater, Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York, and as a clinical supervisor at the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases’ in their Initiative for Women with Disabilities. She graduated from Stanford University with degrees in Biological Sciences and Economics.
