Aura’s Entry

What I’ve seen about Ken Starr MD Wellness Group Addiction Medicine & NAD Therapies.

This spa holds the Aura Screened mark: three public records agreed — Google shows it open, the state ties a current licence here with no discipline on file, and two records place a licensed provider at the address. Separately, Ken Starr MD Wellness cleared all three website checks — a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. Their domain, their identity, the way they talk about their work — it all holds up under inspection. Every record I read to decide that is listed further down this page, with where it came from and when.

  • ★★★★★·Aug 2026

    “I had a great experience throughout my FAA medical process. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Dr. Kenn was patient, professional, and took the time to answer my questions, making the entire process smooth and comfortable. Everyone I interacted with was kind and respectful. I truly appreciate the…”

    “I can”t say enough about Dr Starr and his staff! I was struggling for months with shoulder pain from calcific tendonitis. I thought I was going to have to drastically reduce my training until I consulted with Dr. Starr, who prescribed BPC 157 and TB 500 peptides. After 1 month of injections The pain was gone, and I was able to resume my training with minor…”

    “The Doc and staff have helped many of my loved ones get to the place they needed to keep things moving in a positive direction . DR STARR is equipped to handle the illness that is sweeping our country . You don’t want certain places to exist but that’s the world we are in and he is here to help your loved ones find some comfort . His heart is in the place it…”

    “I visited for my FAA Flight Physical. Dr. Starr and his team are prompt and thorough, and had much more appointment availability than the AME in my area. Highly recommend. Definitely worth the trip over from the Central Valley, and I'll be sure to schedule again when my renewal is due.”

    “Dr. Kenneth Star (Ken) Star, is AMAZING!!! I had been in and out of rehabs that I turn myself into trying to get off of fentanyl. I endured nothing but more pain and suffering during those times. The doctors are under educated in most of these places. This doctor right here changed my life! I really had no hope until I decided to give him a call. I literally…”

What Screened means — and what it doesn’t

Screened means three public records agreed: Google shows the spa open, the state ties a current licence here with no discipline on file, and two independent records place a licensed provider at the address. The website checks above — a matching identity, a real site, honest wording — are reported too, and they are not one of the three.

GlowRanked Verified is a separate service, and a different question. It reads what the public record cannot see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. The owner submits those documents and a person reads them. It is not part of what I checked on this page and it does not change it.

So — this is a records check, and it can be withdrawn when a record changes. It is not a judgement about the care in the room. Ask the questions below before you book.

Aura’s notes

What to ask before you book.

  • 01

    Who’s the medical director?

    California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.

  • 02

    Who is actually injecting me?

    RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.

  • 03

    What product brand and concentration?

    Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.

None of these three is part of my screen — I have no way to see a licence from the public record. All three are on you to ask, and if they fumble any of them, that’s your sign.

Aura Screened

Three public records agreed about this spa: Google shows it open; the state ties a current licence here with no public Medical Board record against it; and two independent public records place a licensed provider at this address. Each of those is a record, not a rating — the lines below say where every one of them came from. The website checks below are reported too, and they are not one of the three: they read this spa’s own site, which is not a public record.

The website checks

This spa cleared all three website checks: a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. I report them here; since 2026-09-01 they do not decide the mark, because a spa's own website is not a public record.

The state’s own record

a licensed provider is confirmed at this address. Read 2026-09-18.

I checked the state's licence file, the federal provider registry, the Medical Board's public record, this spa's own website and Google's listing — the lines above say which came back with a record, which came back empty and which I have not read — and I do not rate this spa or recommend it.
