Do not see Dr. Karlin. NEVER have I walked into an office and felt so unwelcome nor unable to ask…read morequestions without getting ridiculed. At one point, she actually laughed out loud at a question I asked about parasites, saying "are you serious?!" I cannot believe I spent so much money to be shamed for the questions I was asking. On the medical side, no bloodwork was taken before prescribing me the medications I was pressured into buying as she rushed out the door "or else I won't get better fast." Again, no time for questions, and I was charged an additional $200 bill on top of the already expensive appointment. One of these items I bought was a gut repair powder that had Maltodextrin in it, which can cause damage to the intestine. Another item contained aluminum and silver (that I was supposed to ingest). I got a needle stapled into my ear without any real explanation of how to care for it or what it was doing there. The whole process was extremely uncomfortable and after speaking about her to my other doctors, she should not be allowed to practice medicine.

I come to her when western doctors can't figure out what's going on or their medicine isn't working. Every time, she helps me and I see almost immediate results.

She goes above and beyond, she truly cares, and she's invested in her patient's healing and well-being. You feel that in every session and email. She's so thorough, asks lots of questions, and pieces together like a puzzle what's going on with your body. I have immense gratitude for Dr. Karlin and can't recommend her enough.

I know she's really good and passionate about her craft because the first thing she told me was what acupuncture could not do for me.

WOW! I don't even know where to start! But ANGELA HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!…read more I have been working with Angela since April 2018 when I happened to stumble upon her at her previous practice. From DAY 1, I knew she was a talented acupuncturist, caring & amazing human! I was deathly afraid of needles and she was gentle and with held so much compassion as I worked through my fears of needles. I originally came to Angela because I didn't have a period for 3 years and suffered a plethora of other hormonal Imbalances due to Bodybuilding & severe dieting. I would religiously go to my acupuncture sessions 1x/week where she guided me through my ENTIRE healing process! 7 months into working with Angela, I got my period back!!! And 10 months into working with her I had a FULLY normal blood panel! May seem like a LONG time but it actuality, for how screwed up my hormones were and the damage I had done to my body over the course of 3 years, 7 months is NOTHING! She is well-educated in literally everything about holistic healing and has even helped guide me down a spiritual path where she suggested I start yoga! She answers all my questions from health, wellness, sexuality to spirituality! I'm going to say Angela is MORE than just an Acupuncturist! SHE IS A FULL BLOWN HEALER! I trust her WITH MY LIFE! My clients go to her, my mom NOW goes to her, my friends go to her! I'm pretty sure all of social media and everyone that I come in contact with, know about Angela! SHE IS A BLESSING!!!

I was trying all kinds of therapies for over a month to handle it quickly and as affordably as possible being that I had no insurance either. And I was heading for a big trip to Asia and knew it could be impossible to travel in my state. After countless sessions with chiropractors another Acupuncturists with very little result, Angela came to my rescue! I had just 2 sessions with her. She immediately identified the root of the problem and was able to see me the day before my flight. She gave me an electrode Accupuncture treatment followed by some kinetic taping and I kid you not-by the time I got to Thailand I was feeling 1000% better! I even managed to sleep on the flight and had zero issues with my body. And my arm, which literally had lot all functionality for several weeks was "fired back up" and working again! I swear by her talents and skills. She knows her shit and does it with love and passion. I am so grateful!!

Big shout out to Andrea at the front desk, she's so welcoming and is a true master of scheduling (and insurance). I truly appreciate how she keeps me in mind when there are cancellations and she lets me know so I can snag an appointment. There is also an adorable dog, Thor who is often seen lounging around the office which is always a treat. All of the staff goes out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and feel welcome. The office is clean and fresh. Can't say enough good things. I tell everyone I know about this place!

I found out after my appointment that they're no longer in-network with Blue Shield. I didn't even realize it until a few weeks later when I checked my credit card statement and saw I had been charged the full $140 instead of my usual $30 copay. I understand they sent out an email about the insurance update, but I really think it should've also been mentioned when I booked my appointment over the phone. I'm sure a lot of people don't regularly check those emails, so I think it's important to let customers know when they're booking an appointment. If I had known ahead of time that my insurance was no longer accepted, I could've decided whether I still wanted to keep the appointment.

Dr Mary Trumpi, Dora, Trudy and her team are excellent all around!!…read more I initially was a physical therapy skeptic (due to a poor previous experience several years ago in the Bay Area), but Dr Trumpi has made me a believer! I rolled my ankle last summer and I thought I could just handle the recovery on my own... but 4 months on, my ankle was still 2x the size and constantly bothering me to where I couldn't sleep. Before being totally resigned to having to buy different sized shoes for the rest of my life, I finally asked my primary doctor for a referral, but the clinic recommended had a 4 month waitlist and did not accept my insurance. So I went to my trusty Yelp search and Santa Monica Sports Medicine was the top result, and so I decided to book an appointment. Calling the office was a breeze and I had an appointment within a couple weeks. They kept prompt communication and verified my insurance benefits right away, which amazingly helpful (I've experienced many doctor offices that just leave you on your own and tell you to call insurance yourself before booking an appointment). When I came for my first appointment, I was surprised to be seen by Dr Trumpi herself, because I felt my injury was fairly minor... also I couldn't even say it was a sharp pain, just more an annoyance to daily life. Dr Trumpi took her time with me even though asking lots of questions and I felt immediately comfortable with her and that I was in good hands. She wrote up an exercise plan and walked me through a variety of in clinic treatment options and tailored everything to my comfort level, from massage to electrical stimulation and so on. I continued every couple weeks with her and was amazed how quickly my ankle improved. I no longer was resolved to have to buy different sized shoes! She also started treating me for my chronic back pain -- which again, I never thought was a big deal --just life soreness haha, but I now know it's actually something treatable. Thank you Santa Monica Sports Medicine!

Dr.Trumpi herself is such a wonderful human being and is just the coolest most down to earth person and doctor. I kid you not, the first adjustment/ "back crack" I received from her I was in tears of joy afterwards. I felt amazing and it actually lasted! I can't thank her enough for the difference she's made for us both. We come in fairly regularly for sports massage and adjustments and always look forward to it. Thank you so much to everyone at "Santa Monica Sports Medicine"! I couldn't recommend them more and I'll continue sharing with everyone I know.
