Booking, cancellations and missed appointments
We ask that you cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance. This gives us the chance to offer your appointment time to another patient. Late cancellations and missed appointments may be subject to a fee.
If you are running late, please call or text us at (619) 478-4883. We will do our best to see you, though a late start may mean a shorter session.
Packages
Most services are available as a 5 or 10 session package at a reduced per-session rate. Packages are paid in full at purchase.
Your sessions do not expire. They stay on your account until you use them.
We do recommend finishing a series within about a year. These treatments build on each other, and a steady rhythm is most of what makes them work. That is a clinical recommendation and not a deadline, so if life gets in the way, your sessions will still be here.
Packages are for the person who bought them and are not transferable.
Paying over time
If you would rather not pay all at once, you can finance a package through our payment processor, Stripe. Depending on the amount and what you qualify for, you may be offered options such as Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay.
The "Pay over time" buttons are for financing only and do not take a card. If you would rather pay in full, or if none of the providers approves you, use the "Buy Package" button instead. That one takes a card, and your package lands on your account right away.
A few things worth knowing:
Approval and terms are theirs, not ours. Whether you are approved, how many payments you make, and whether any interest applies are decided entirely by the financing provider. We are not told how your plan is structured.
You are paying them, not us. They pay us in full right away and then collect from you on your schedule.
Your package is added by hand. A financed purchase does not reach our booking system automatically. Dr. Armijo adds the package to your account and emails you when it is ready. Please wait for that note before you book. Some services ask for payment or a card at booking, so booking early can charge you a second time.
Refunds
You can ask for a refund on sessions you have not used, within 120 days of your purchase. Here is how we work it out.
The package price is a discount for booking a full series. If you stop partway through, the sessions you have already had are counted at our regular single-session price, and the rest of what you paid comes back to you.
As an example: the Wellness Acupuncture package of 5 is $610, and a single Wellness Acupuncture session is $135. If you have had two sessions and decide to stop, that is $610 less $270, so $340 comes back to you.
On a package bought at a deeper discount, using almost all of your sessions can leave nothing to refund. If the math comes out at zero or less, there is no refund, and you will never owe us anything on top of what you already paid.
Why 120 days. That is the point at which our payment processor can no longer return money to the card or payment plan you used, so it is the last day we are able to send a refund. Your sessions are not affected by it. They stay on your account with no expiration, so nothing you paid for is ever lost. After 120 days it stays with us as treatment rather than coming back as cash.
If you paid over time, your refund goes to the financing provider rather than to you. They cancel what you still owe and return what you have already paid. If your particular plan charged interest, that part stays with them, because it was never ours.
To ask for a refund, email drmozellearmijo@gmail.com.
Memberships
Memberships renew monthly and can be canceled through your account on our booking site.
Prices and tax
Prices are in US dollars. We do not charge sales tax on services or packages.
Prices can change, but a package you have already bought keeps the price and the per-session rate you paid.
