Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine Center of West Hollywood

“It’s my belief that Primary Medical Care should be preventative, treat the whole person, and focus on resolving the root causes of illness. I strive to give my patients the care, information, and treatments they deserve to help them heal naturally and completely. “ James M. Baltz, MSAOM, L.Ac.

Treatment Philosophy

Coming to Oriental Medicine from a background in Qi Gong and Tai Chi, I emphasize the importance of health restoring and self-healing practices, correct nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments in addition to your series of acupuncture treatments and custom herbal prescriptions.  I believe that everyone should have access to the widest range of healthcare options possible.  Oriental Medicine holds a special place among medical traditions, as it teaches us how to attain more vibrant health in a way that we can easily understand and apply in our daily lives.

Mr. James Baltz has been working with our residents here at Skyline Healthcare Center for the past 2 years.  He also did a two month training for the staff. The resident majority are geriatric from 30 to 100+ years of age.  They highly enjoy the Tai Chi program twice a month.  James has a gentle & sensitive way of motivating them to participate, especially residents with behavior problems, like psychosis, anxiety, depression.  Currently we have a cancer patient who likes to attend his program, and according to her she feels very good after every session.  we are very luck to have him at the center.   Sincerely, Segismunda Torres, Activity Director

James is great ! all the acupuncture treatments were performed with such professionalism . reasonable prices . Very clean and sterile office . Excellent experience !

James has changed my life! I’ve suffered from depression, anxiety and insomnia for years. After a few sessions and some Chinese herbs I can finally get a good nights sleep. I continue regular treatments, and it has significantly improved the quality of my life in many areas.

James has been my acupuncturist for the last two years and I can’t imagine how I’d have gotten through without him. When I first started going to James, my brother had just died and I was experiencing terrible insomnia and mild depression. He immediately helped me begin to balance my emotions and calm my nervous system. Since then, he’s helped me with chronic shoulder pain, back pain and even fixed long standing hormonal issues. James is gentle, warm and very wise. I’ve seen many acupuncturists over the years and he’s, by far, the best.
