What is Center for Acupuncture & Anti-Aging Medicine?
The Center for Acupuncture & Anti-Aging Medicine is an acupuncture clinic at 2222 Santa Monica Blvd, Suite 203, in Santa Monica, California 90404. It is open Tuesday to Friday, 10am to 6pm, and the phone number is (310) 310-8659. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine form the core of the practice. It offers ten services: facial rejuvenation, fertility acupuncture alongside IVF, a 10 Week Health Improvement Program, chronic pain and sports injury recovery, women's health, anti-aging and longevity medicine, stress and anxiety, digestive health, skin disorders, and custom Chinese herbal compounding.
Dr. Chianni Lin is the one clinician named, listed as Dr. Chianni Lin, DAOM, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M. Her credentials are a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) from Emperor's College, national board certification as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, and a California Acupuncture Board license. She is also a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. A DAOM is an acupuncture doctorate, not a medical degree, and no medical doctor is named. Its longevity care is described as physician-led, so ask who that physician is. Google reviewers rate the clinic 5 from 60 reviews.
What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices. Its markup carries a $$$ price range with no dollar figures attached. Chinese herbal medicine is listed as an extra cost on top of treatment, and the clinic does not say whether any program or monthly fee includes herbs.
On insurance, itemized superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement on request. The clinic does not say whether it accepts insurance. A superbill is a receipt you file yourself, so you may pay at the visit and submit the claim to your insurer. The clinic does not mention payment plans, financing, memberships or HSA use. Its first visit runs long. In its own words: "Your initial consultation and treatment spans a full 90 minutes." Ask what that visit costs before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who prescribes. The clinic names no medical doctor, so ask whether anyone with prescribing authority is involved, and who that is, if you need a prescription. Ask whether herbs are included in any package or billed per formula, and what a refill costs.
Next, ask what the 10 Week Health Improvement Program costs in total, whether you pay up front or week by week, and what happens to unused sessions if you stop early. Ask whether the 90-minute first visit is billed separately from follow-up visits, and whether any lab work is part of the longevity program and who orders it. Ask whether the clinic is in network with any insurer. Ask whether telehealth is available, since the clinic does not say. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether packages are refundable.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want acupuncture, facial work or herbal care from a doctorate-level acupuncturist in Santa Monica and you are ready to pay for it yourself. It is a weaker fit if you need a medical doctor to prescribe medication, or if you are looking for weight loss, hormone or peptide therapy, which the clinic does not list among its services.
