24-hour Cancellation Policy:  Please note that we request at least 24 hours advanced notice if you need to change or cancel your appointment for any reason. Otherwise, a $50 cancellation fee will apply. Thank you for your understanding!
Initial Visit:  During your initial visit, we will review your health history as well as your present condition, including a thorough intake consisting of questions regarding your body, diet, and lifestyle. Some questions may at first appear to be irrelevant to your current complaint, but keep in mind that TCM is a holistic medicine, and each answer plays an integral role in helping to determine the proper diagnosis and treatment of your condition. Treatment may include acupuncture as well as other modalities such as cupping, Tui Na or other therapeutic bodywork, and herbal medicine.

Follow-up Visit:  Follow-up visits will include a brief intake and update of your condition followed by the appropriate treatment. Treatment may include acupuncture as well as other modalities such as cupping, Tui Na or other therapeutic bodywork, and herbal medicine.

​
Supplemental visits are also available for regular weekly patients only. These treatments are meant to supplement your regular visits, and do not include bodywork. If you think you may be a good candidate for these treatments, please ask!

Payment and Insurance

I accept major PPO health plans including Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and some Blue Shield plans. As of January 1, 2020, due to the Blue Shield / ASH (American Specialties Health) merge, I am only able to accept Blue Shield plans which are not processed through ASH.

To find out if my services are covered under your plan, please feel free to contact me with the following information, and I will be more than happy to check with your insurance provider to determine your specific policy coverage for acupuncture and therapeutic bodywork services.
