Dr. Lin is truly an amazing practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Far from having learned her practice via institutional study, she hails from a family lineage of expert internal practitioners. This exposure from a young age is visible in Dr. Lin's intuitive and highly personalized treatment approach. Her understanding & implementation utilize a wide array of modalities offering a comprehensive therapeutic approach that is hard to come by in the West. As a health care professional, she is compassionate and invested in her patient care. I have never felt rushed during a visit and she has always been happy to answer questions and provide direction in person or by timely responses via secure electronic communication. Upon entering the Center for Acupuncture and Anti-Aging Medicine, one finds a carefully crafted space of serenity, a space designed to promote quiet contemplation and healing. Moreover, Dr. Lin has embraced many cutting edge technologies such as pulsed electromagnetic field exposure, light and sound therapies. For my experience, the combination of Dr. Lin's approach has rendered powerful results for which I am deeply grateful. For most Westerners, Eastern Medicine represents a radical departure in both philosophy and implemented therapies to one's health. Moreover we as patients, bear responsibilities to promoting our own health. Dr. Lin can ignite and promote the bodies natural healing capacity but one must also be willing to recognize the actions and lifestyle choices which contributed to ailments from which we may suffer. Honesty with one's self is a must. For those able to embrace this responsibility, you have found a rare gem. The financial aspect may be challenging as most insurance companies do not recognize Eastern Medicine but for those who see health as wealth, the investment is invaluable.

I’ve been seeing dr Chianni Lin for a free months now for some issues with my gut and overall anxiety. I always feel relaxed after our sessions and I feel like the dr really cares to know what’s going on in my life to deliver the right treatment. I’m still working on my gut issues but overall anxiety has improved. I would highly recommend this practice

No practitioner has spent as much time with me as Dr. Chianni Lin. I've only seen her several times, but I've already started to feel a difference. She gives thorough explanations and I can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. Her office is also really nice and a pleasant environment to be in. I take the best naps here :) If you are considering acupuncture, look no further!

Dr. Lin is an artist in her healing expertise. I have been to several other acupuncturists, and no one comes close to her. Her wisdom, kindness, gentleness, and clarity. Even people who are afraid of needles would feel very comfortable with her! Plus, her office is beautiful , spotless and warm and inviting, just like her. She is also gifted in Chinese herb formulas. Dr. Lin was born to be a healer! She learned the art of acupuncture in Taiwan from her grandparents, and went on to become certified in the United States. I cannot imagine my life without her! Truly. I was struck by a car 15 years ago and have had 10 orthopedic surgeries. Even though there’s a lot of metal in my body, Dr. Lin’s acupuncture benefits me greatly. It benefits my physical pain, as well as my emotional pain and anxiety. I am so grateful for Dr. Lin!!

Dr. Lin is a rare find. I am truly grateful to have been led into her care. I have received acupuncture for over 10 years and worked with a few practitioners and always felt the benefits. However, I never understood the depth and art of a true eastern medical doctor until I met Dr. Lin. Her ancestral lineage and wisdom is what I could only define as a somewhat lost art to us in the western world. I went to her for overall wellbeing and discovered how to optimize my body and my bodies natural abilities to heal and become more radiant and resilient. Dr. Lin has successfully treated and guided me through internal imbalances that were effecting my skin, hair and my menstrual cycle, as well as a muscular injury & trauma sustained in an auto accident. Not to leave out all of the emotional landscape we encounter, whether it is loss of a loved one or general emotions that rise and fall, Dr. Lin hold space and understanding to treat and nurture it all. Her space is peaceful and I always rest deeply during treatment. She is a gift! A true rare find and an invaluable part of how I am able to be my best self and live my most vital, energized life while feeling amazing. I could NOT recommend her MORE!! INVALUABLE!!! Thank you Dr. Lin.

Dr. Lin has created such a calming and welcoming healing center. I immediately felt at ease and her knowledge and skill are amazing. She also has a very gentle touch. The herbs she formulated for me worked extremely well. Her family has a long line of healers that really shows through in her practice. I recommend Dr. Lin to many people. She is gracious and professional too.

I feel so grateful to have been a client of Dr. Lin's for four years. I don't even know where to start with how beneficial and how healing her work really is. I suffered with horrible hormonal acne, stress, and my nervous system was very out of whack. Every time I left her treatment room, I felt as if I was on a cloud and all my worries had melted away. She took the time to really learn about me as a person and healed me from the inside out with her amazing herbs, acupuncture, and medical cupping. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best acupuncturist in LA.

I have been getting acupuncture since I was a child for various issues, and I can confidently say I have never seen an acupuncturist as gifted as Bebe. I think she is a truly gifted healer: her skills, bedside manner, empathy, and intuition has showed me the power acupuncture has to truly heal. I trust her and feel safe in her care which cannot be said for most medical practitioners/offices. I have been seeing her for years, and anytime I come in to see her with ANY issue she knows exactly what to do. Sometimes I don’t even need to tell her what’s going on—she just knows. I was fortunate enough to be a patient of hers in 2020 and her treatments were a godsend for my mental health and my physical health. She really does go the extra mile and takes the time time to try new things and is one of the few medical practitioners that I’ve seen who I feel like genuinely cares about her patients getting better. Additionally, I have gotten herbs from her for various things and have seen real change and improvement—especially from her skin herbs. I’ve had a lot of it last minute physical issues come up that need timely care like tendonitis, sprained ankles, neck issues, and after one treatment with her I always feel better. I didn’t even realize Acupuncture could be so effective for so many things.

Dr. Lin is fantastic. I have received many and solicited comments that I “look glowing”. It was because of Dr. Lin’s work. Even better I feel healthy and relaxed when I leave. I am grateful for her care.

Dr. Chianni Lin is the best doctor I’ve had! She has helped me with so many physical and mental imbalances as they’ve popped up over the years (I’ve been going to her for 4 years now) and taught me so much about caring for my body as the season shifts and as my cycle shifts. She’s an expert in the wisdom that Chinese medicine holds. Plus her office is so clean and comfortable.

Loved working with Dr. Lin, when I was having difficulty getting a diagnosis for my shoulder pain her acupuncture practice was the number one thing that allowed me to still function. Would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

I've been to many acupuncturists but Dr. Chianni Lin is the best by far! I've seen other acupuncturists in LA, NYC, Connecticut, Florida, and even Canada, but no one comes close. Her office is peaceful with nice decor and very clean. I have been seeing her for a year and she helped the symptoms of my PCOS (including drastically lowering my testosterone levels). I've also started doing her anti-aging facial acupuncture instead of starting Botox and now have no desire for Botox! If you're looking for help with health or anti-aging, I couldn't recommend anyone better.

I consulted Dr. Chianni Lin for two health issues over the past years. Dr. Lin helped me heal some severe neck pain & terrible nerve pain going down my arm. I was able to fully recover without any drugs or surgery. I highly recommend her practice!

Dr. Chianni Lin is exceptional. Your first visit will include questions about your lifestyle, the reason you are there, etc. She takes her time and really listens, and adapts treatment every time you go in according to what will suit your needs best. I felt significant improvement in neck and shoulder pain. To top it off, not only is she great at her profession, but she has such a kind, warm, and gentle spirit. It's a privilege to be a patient of hers!
