What should I expect on my first visit? 

Allow 90 minutes for your first visit.  

After you complete a confidential health questionnaire, you will be asked additional questions about your medical history and then under go a brief physical exam to look for signs of imbalance.  

Your skin, tongue, and hair, as well as other parts of your body (from the brightness of your eyes to the color of your nails) will be examined.  

Even your wrist pulses help to determine if one or more of your organ meridians are out of balance. 

A personalized treatment plan utilizing a combination of therapies will be used to correct any imbalances in your body. 

Patients find the treatments very relaxing. 

Some may feel a slight pinch upon insertion but most are surprised how easily the fine sterile disposable needles are inserted and that the process is generally painless. 

Patients are so comfortable during treatment that most take a refreshing nap. 

Please note:

Many health insurance policies cover acupuncture for pain issues. 

Please call your insurance company to learn if you have acupuncture benefits. 

Although I no longer file insurance for payment, upon your request, I can provide you with a receipt with the appropriate insurance codes so that you can send it to your insurance company to apply my fees towards your yearly deductible, request reimbursement or use with your healthcare flexi-account.

Just ask.
