Treatment is readily available on days and times that I want. Although there isn't a strong communication on who will be the "massage" therapist, it essentially is 3 to 4 people who rotates for different days. They are pretty brutal with my fire cupping and massage as parts of my body is already bruised (normal part of cupping). The guasha was painful as well. One therapist said to me " no pain, no gain". Treatment includes the "massage part" which is the "cupping" or "guasha", then followed by acupuncture treatment (pulsating electrodes used). The treatment is usually for 45 mins. Massage is about 20 mins; needles in the body for about another 15-20 minutes. The clinic is upstairs. Street parking for 2 hours. I would say 30% improvement since I started this type of modality. PT treatment was usually 10% improvement. I went every week which contributed to my healing. Thank you MediPoint! read more

Dr. Moon and the clinic staff are very professional and skilled. I've gone consistently to alleviate neck/shoulder muscle aches from working at the computer all day as well as various sports activity related soreness. They don't just go through the motions but ask you about your concerns and customize the session based on that. Sessions are usually a mix of acupuncture and therapeutic body work which ends up making me feel rejuvenated after every visit. Top notch clinic! read more

Incredibly rude person at front desk as I asked for assistance in the building. I was stunned by the rudeness and dismissive dialogue.

Called this place to find out if they take my insurance. This lady was completely flustered and rude. She told me that I have no idea how health insurance works and that I'll have to pay $200 the first visit and then $150 every visit following and she trailed off. Basically calling me stupid by saying I don't know how insurance works. I def know how it works as I managed health insurance for over 600 employees at one point. Not once mentioning anything about care or services. She kept interrupting me to hold on because she was talking to other people there. So unprofessional and disorganized. Seems to be money hungry and out of touch with reality. This place suckkkkkkkkkks. read more

They take to time to listen to my needs. Treatments were excellent and really helped to reduce my pain and discomfort. The facility is neat and clean. Staff was extremely friendly. read more

I am a believer!!! I was a newbie to Acupuncture and was amazed at the outcome after one treatment. I walked in this clinic in pain and walked out without pain. Extremely professional staff and clean clinic rooms. HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

I had a super sketchy experience with this place. First they said they took my insurance, and then when they saw I had a high-deductible plan, they said they didn't take it, but then how could they, and why would they run that information if they didn't take my insurance in the first place? Plus they're also listed as in-network on my insurance's web page, so wtf? They wanted me to pay them directly out-of-pocket instead of having them bill through insurance first. Yes, I realize I still eventually have to pay because of the deductible, but at least if they bill the insurance, the cost gets put against the deductible instead of it going nowhere. I think this is fraudulent practice. No thanks. read more

Professional, clean, safe. Samantha and her team are the best. The acupuncture and integrated therapy have helped me tremendously.

Excellent care, Samatha Moon and her staff are amazing. You Benfit so much from the treatment. Worth the cost of treatment. I even bought my son for treatment. Highly recommend Samatha Moon read more

Medi Points Acupuncture Clinic - Acupuncture Near Me - Menlo Park, California

I have been going to Dr. Moon for acupuncture+cupping+massage weekly for 5 weeks now. I am one of those people who are scared of needles, but the acupuncture needles don't hurt at all! When she puts them into my skin, there is a little pinch kind of sensation but that's it. While the needles are in, most likely you won't feel anything. If you are getting acupuncture for pain, the acupressure spots related to that pain may feel a little sore when the needles are in, but it's not that bad. I have been coming in for my headaches/migraines that i had been having every day for a few weeks, and an occasional dizziness. After 5 visits, my headaches/migraines have definitely improved! They are no longer as often and when the headaches do come back, it isn't as bad as before i started doing acupuncture or it doesn't last as long. The last time I went in, I told Dr. Moon that I hadn't been sleeping that well- after my session with her, I felt tired/sleepy as usual, but I got a very good sleep that night after the appointment and the next morning I woke up very refreshed! My 60-minute session always include 20 mins of acupuncture, then massage (sometimes cupping is included). After each session I feel so calm and happy but also sleepy. After a couple hours then I usually don't feel sleepy anymore for some reason haha... The massages I get here are some of the best massages I've ever received...and I am someone who used to get monthly massages at other places. I've had three different massage therapists who work with Dr. Moon, and although all three of them are good, Cameron is the best! (I think his name is Cameron? he's the skinnier guy with curly hair). I don't think we can request which massage therapist to get though :(..but I understand that is so that it makes it fair for all of her massage therapists. Overall, positive experience here! :) read more

Absolutely amazing. I appreciate Dr. Moon and her team and their help with my healing process. I have been to other massage therapist and her team knew exactly where to focus to help my body begin to heal. They listen and they are very professional. The acupuncture is relaxing and focused. She is really good! read more

This was over due n my 1st review at that time very recommended to those w/chronic pain like myself. Aug 2011 or 2012 one morning I couldn't stand w/o Tears, been like that a couple of wks (bedridden unless using restroom) my reg doctor didn't have a clue except pain meds n encourage cortisone shots or surgery,. I accepted PT&chiropractor, but didn't help so i stopped after couple of times. I was off work over a month, my pain got little better to point I walked by myself but w/pain My wife was going to medi pts n encourage me to try. I said no but after 2months I did go, after her treatment Samantha asked how I felt I couldn't believe the pain was gone + no soreness like it never existed. My wife couldn't believe her eyes I got up with a big smile . I go n get treated when I do get tight/severe pain n after a each treatment +no meds results same thing over again. For those w/chronic pain you have to give Samantha a try. FYI, if u do go make sure to wear loose clothing that can be pulled up/dn, shower well (u dont want to reach n itch while the needles are on u) & use the restroom cause treatment will take up to 2hrs. If u have mutiple issues tell her cause she could treat other issues at same time with no additional cost. read more

I am not sure how to begin without seeming like I was hired to say great things about Dr. Moon. My treatment is amazing! Very quiet professional and she takes time to explain even u tell her you have questions. Usual visits begin with acupuncture then cupping or massage. I have referred 3 others who can't stop going to see her 1-2 times per week. My kids see her too :) Neck pain resolved. Menstrual cramps almost gone. Allergy symptoms improved. Overall I feel so much better after my visits. read more

To begin with: I have never had acupuncture before and have very little knowledge of traditional Eastern medicine. After seeing Samantha I will likely use acupuncture again. I have even referred her to my girlfriend for migraine treatment. I was sent to Samantha by my work for additional therapy after my PT had reached a plateau. I have had massages and physical therapy work for previous injuries, but this was a new, and happily a pleasant, experience. Samantha Moon proved to be an excellent practitioner, professional and diligent in her treatments. I was able to schedule flexible appointments even later in the afternoon. (FYI: She works out of two offices so the appointment dates are limited. I've only been to the Menlo Park location.) This location has 4 treatment rooms and one large room for evaluation and treatment. The rooms are fairly quiet but medium noises can be heard between rooms. The office space is clean and well organized with credentials visible. The building location could be hard to find for some, however I was already familiar with the area. Street parking is the real pain! (Much more than the needles that are used for treatment.) The best part for me was the massage work that I received from Hyo Lee. He is one of the two massage therapists that work under Samantha Moon's guidance. I felt that his work was superior compared to the other therapist. Hyo was attentive to the guidance of Samantha and was able to really perform the proper work need to help further my body's healing process. His technique was firm and well guided without causing me undue pain. In one session I actually ended up drooling like a Labrador, it felt so good! If you really want the best this office has to offer make sure that you choose a day when Hyo Lee is working! I will plan to return when the need arises, or when I want a little more of a body tune-up. Thanks Samantha and Hyo!! read more

I am a 24 yr old, who got diagnosed with carpal tunnel & Ulnar Neoropathy. I was on medication for 3 months!! My doctors could not figure out why I kept swelling, i had 2 different braces on my arm!!. I got to the point where my neck was so swollen, it looked like I had some type of allergic reaction, that my doctor decided to send me to Dr. Moon. This was the best decision my doctor recommended! My first session, I had Gua Sa, & acupuncture done. It took me 4 days to get over the initial soreness, but my god!! THE DIFFERENCE! I've seen Dr. Moon once a week for ONE MONTH, I am completely off of medications, I have more mobility in my arm than I ever did in the past 3 months, and the swelling in my neck and upper back has reduced TREMENDOUSLY! I haven't felt like me, better yet, a new me, in such a long time! Thank you Dr. Moon for your patience, your thoroughness in understanding my pain and needs, for treating me as if my pain was yours. I can not put into words how amazing this herbalistic method of treatment is, until you try it. No pills here! Thank you Dr. Moon read more

Acupuncturist Samantha Moon and her Acupressure expert Natsuki are both WONDERFUL. They are both very attentive and super professional, going above and beyond to provide great care. They did wonders to treat my repetitive stress injury. The rooms (in the Menlo Park office) and equipment are clean. And the beautifully decorated spaces and zen background music really helped me feel relaxed. read more

Dr. Samantha Moon is an amazing professional. I had several symptoms that improved so much since I started going to the clinic ( pain and sleep). The visit are about an hour to 75 minutes and include cupping and or massage after the acupuncture. The massage therapists are excellent. The clinic is clean and the front desk is very friendly. Highly recommend this clinic. Thank you! read more

I attended the clinic for a few months while recovering from a work injury with a brief break for closure due to COVID-19. They did an excellent job complying with health restrictions for COVID. This is important due to the close proximity that acupuncture and massage require. The acupuncture did an awesome job of completion of healing from my injury. Dr. Moon did a good job listening to what did and didn't work for me. I give the post-acupuncture massage mixed reviews because the quality varied so much with whoever was doing the massage. It would have been nice to have the same person each week. All of the staff were very friendly. read more

I was referred to Dr. Samantha Moon for acupuncture and myofascial release after being diagnosed with tennis elbow which is was actually caused by too much mousing/computer work. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went there, but when I left I felt much better. She and her team were very professional, I could tell they knew what they were doing. The massage, cupping and accupunctue provided pain relief right away. My shoulder and arm are much more relaxed and not nearly as tight. I'm still having treatment, but I see "pain free" light at the end of the tunnel. read more

I am posting this review for my wife. Here is what she wants to say about Dr. Moon: I do not know why it did not occur to me at the beginning that I should try acupuncture and traditional asian treatment for my long-term shoulder and lower back pain, given the fact that I am asian origin. When I walked out of Dr. Moon's office, for the first time in i-don't-know-how-many-years, there was no pain at all. That naughty monkey on may back was completely gone. After sitting in front of a computer for over 20 years, and known for having a not-so-great posture, my shoulder pain progressed from an occasional nuance to a unpleasant daily companion. Dr. Moon is knowledgable, professional, compassionate and through. She takes time to ask all the questions, carefully accesses your overall health conditions and seeks solutions and treatment for the root cause of the problem. I highly recommend her. read more

This is my first experience with acupuncture and I am very pleased. Samantha is very thorough and her focus is on total wellbeing. It is great for back pain and weight control! It was also effective with my circulation and energy level. I would recommend Samantha to anyone who is open to acupuncture and an integral approach to health and wellbeing. read more

A friend recommended Samantha to me recently when I was looking for an acupuncturist to relieve some pain in my neck and upper back. She is wonderful. She takes her time talking to you about the problem, takes in your history, and explains the philosophy of Chinese medicine. The office is clean and welcoming. Samantha used four different techniques with me and when I left I felt balanced, open, and most of all I had relief from my pain. I will go back once a week until the pain is gone completely. I will also keep her in mind for times when I feel blocked from moving forward in my life. Acupuncture works. Samantha is well trained and she is a a great mix of Eastern and Western thought. Thanks Samantha!! read more

Samantha is awesome! I've been going here for months now & it really helps with my back & neck pain. It's not just acupuncture alone... She combines acupuncture with deep tissue massage. The treatment totally makes sense and it works!!! I've referred all my friends, family & colleagues. Just try a session for yourself... read more

Samantha Moon May be a great acupuncturist, but her scheduling person is awful. I called, in intense pain, and told her I was covered by Stanford Health alliance. She said that was fine and made an appointment. She called back multiple times during the work day for 'new patient' information. When I showed up, after leaving work early, she asked me to call my insurance because she wasn't sure they were in network. This is something that could have been brought up more than 8 hours ago on the first call. Or on her second call. Or she could have called them herself. I'm now leaving, in terrible pain, because my appointment time has passed. read more

I highly recommend Samantha Moon to anyone who is looking for relief from pain and other health issues. I find her skills amazing. She takes the time to explain how your body is all connected. I suffered a lower back sprain and the pain was unbearable. After my series of treatment with Samantha I can honestly say my lower back pain is gone!! The Dr treating me (not my regular Dr) just prescribed pain pills. I do not believe in taking pain pill ongoing so Acupuncture was my saving grace! I also had mentioned that after suffering blood clots in my groin area I had severe pain and could no longer lift my foot to my knee. After a series of CT scans, ultra sounds etc, my primary Dr was at a loss for the cause of such pain. I'm happy to say that after Samantha's treatment, I'm pain free and my leg is 90% better! Even my primary Dr was amazed. So don't sit there and think about it.... Pick up the phone & call for an appointment! You'll be glad you did. I've already started telling my friends! read more

Thumbs up!!! You really did a great job, just had my 2 session and I can see the big difference. My pain subsides instantly! Thanks for a miracle touch and caring hands of your staff. Awesome work guys, keep it up! read more

I've been going to see Samantha Moon and her staff for 3 years routinely. I've had a couple back surgeries and I have to work a physical job that has been a challenge to continue. I've been able to get through some very difficult times thanks to her help. I'm very grateful. read more

Samantha has changed my life and improved my health dramatically. I've tried other acupuncturists without the same results. I would recommend Samantha to anyone! read more

I love going to sam for acupuncture. She puts on nice music and a heat lamp on your feet and its very relaxing. She is very nice and reasonably priced. She is accommodating with appointment times and always answers her phone or calls you back promptly. read more

I came here as a result of a workers' comp injury. Samantha Moon was able to treat me much quicker and better than the other place. She always ask me the area that is hurting and focus the treatment on that area and those around it. The environment is peaceful and relaxing with soothing music playing in the background. The on street parking could be challenging at times, but what the hey. I highly recommend this place. read more

Samantha is absolutely amazing. I was referred to her by my shoulder specialist. I had never tried acupuncture before so I was a little apprehensive. However, she was so kind and warm, I became at ease instantly. She has two massage therapists who work along side with her that are very good at what they do. read more

This is my first time trying acupuncture. I would recommend Samantha Moon. I was injured in December and tried physical therapy but after the first treatment with Samantha I noticed the pain less in my feet/knee and back. On my first visit she was very thorough about my medical history and how I was injured and all the treatment that has been done is working and breaking up the scar tissue. I believe she will have me pain free in the next future visits. read more

After a week of numbness in my left index finger I consulted my doctor. She suggested that I try my regular chiropractor (gone bi monthly for the past 8 years). After a week I was back with my doctor. The acupuncture specialist for PAMF she referred me to can only see me in 5 weeks so I did an extensive research and found Samantha. I have had treatments for a month now and just last week I started getting back feeling in the finger tip. As a professional pianist that is a big deal. With the last treatment my finger felt so much better for over a day. Samantha is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain the philosophy of Chinese medicine which emphasizes early diagnosis and treatment to address disorders before they become serious. She has suggested changes in my diet which I am slowly working at. I would highly recommend Samantha. read more

My kids did some research to find the best acupuncturist for me as a gift. They chose Samantha Moon @ Medi Points Acupuncture Clinic in Menlo Park based on the number of positive recommendations. I have been suffering for over a year with two bulging disks in my lower back that causes me back pain, sciatica and depression. After 4 sessions I am getting relief for these conditions. In addition to the acupuncture, she places warm glass cups that form a suction on my back that provides increased relaxation, circulation & comfort. It's quite unique! She also sells Chinese herbs to work together with her treatments to aid in healing and good health. Samantha Moon is caring and very knowledgeable. She takes the time to listen & get to know you. I highly recommend her! read more

I've never gotten acupuncture done before, but Samantha Moon has made my experience a pleasant one. I'm a dancer so I have a few dancing injuries that have been really hard to recover from. Sam has used acupuncture as well as a few other eastern medicine techniques to help with the healing process. Since I started the treatment my pain has subsided immensely. I highly recommend! read more

I love Samantha! She always makes sure she works on the problem area every time I come in for my appointment. I usually don't prefer male providers but her two massage therapists Jose and Jose always makes feel comfortable. I've been going here for months and my problem area has improved a lot. I thought my problem would never go away. Thanks guys! read more

Samantha Moon's treatments have improved my symptoms tremendously. She has a calm and relaxed manner and seems highly skilled. This has been my first experience with acupuncture and I am very pleased with the results. read more

I recently had an acupuncture session with Samantha Moon for my knee injury. She was very knowledgeable, caring, and gave a very successful treatment. I highly recommend her for any injury. read more

The treatment from Samantha is exceptional, and it has helped me recuperate more quickly from shoulder surgery. The muscles and overall connectivity from my shoulder to my neck, back, and arm were terribly stiff and the range of motion was very limited when I first came to Medi Points Clinic. Samantha and her team provided targeted and effective treatment. I am ever so grateful and highly recommend Samantha to anyone seeking relief, good care and attention. read more

I have been seeing Samantha Moon for six weeks regarding treatment for severe menopausal symptoms. Samantha has been extremely patient and conscientious and it is clear that she really wants to help me. She has used at least five different treatments on me and has spent a great deal of extra time. She always carefully explains everything she is doing and the reasons behind it. Then she answers all of my questions. I am seeing improvement when nothing else has worked and I trust that this will continue. I highly recommend her. read more
