About

A clinic owned by the people who work in it

Six acupuncturists share the decisions, the rent and the schedule. Nobody here answers to an investor.

We opened Bench so that an hour of rest and acupuncture would be something neighbors on Payne Avenue could choose, whatever the week had done to their budget. We sit in the same room as our patients, we pay ourselves the same way, and we post the range for everyone to read.

A sitting area with a sofa, armchairs, a low wooden table and a large wall clock
