Our Story

Built different. On purpose.

Kuro Clinic was founded on the belief that where you receive care shapes how you heal. We built the space, assembled the team, and designed the protocols to reflect that — every visit, every time.

Our conviction
"Clinical excellence and intentional care are not in conflict. You don't have to choose between precision and stillness — at Kuro Clinic, they are the same thing."
Dr. Aiko Nakamura-Reid and Dr. James Reid, co-founders of Kuro Clinic Los Angeles
Co-Founders

Dr. Aiko Nakamura-Reid
& Dr. James Reid

Dr. Aiko Nakamura-Reid is a Japanese-American physician whose clinical background spans integrative medicine, preventive care, and evidence-based wellness. She brings a scientific rigor and a deep cultural attunement to the practice of stillness as medicine.

Dr. James Reid is a European-trained Wellness Director with a focus on functional medicine, longevity protocols, and the intersection of science and ritual. Together, they designed Kuro Clinic to be a space where patients are partners — not clients on a conveyor belt.

The name Kuro (黒) means black in Japanese — chosen for its resonance with depth, clarity, and the space before restoration. Their shared vision: a clinic that feels like a sanctuary, functions like a laboratory, and treats like a practice.
