Jason Giles, MD - Addictionologist in Los Angeles, California

For Dr. Jason Giles, addiction medicine isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling shaped by personal experience. In recovery himself, he knows firsthand what it takes to break free from substance dependence. 

With over 20 years in the field, he combines his deep understanding of addiction with extensive medical expertise to help others reclaim their lives.

Before specializing in addiction medicine, Dr. Giles worked in high-intensity trauma, cardiac, and transplant anesthesia. His journey took a turn during a fellowship in pain medicine, where his own recovery, now 25 years strong, led him to addictionology.

Today, Dr. Giles cares for patients through treatment centers across California and beyond. He specializes in detox care, helping patients safely transition from substances like alcohol and opiates. His patients value his expertise, empathy, and lived experience as proof that recovery is possible. 

For Dr. Giles, it’s not just about living longer, but living better.

ABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR 

The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple.  We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you’re making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be. 

When you head into an important appointment more informed and better educated, you are able to have a richer, more specific conversation about the procedures and treatments you’re interested in. There’s no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.

Meet The Doctor is a production of The Axis.
Made with love in Austin, Texas.
