New Patient Visit
Your first visit will include a complete health history and review of
your present condition. We may discuss your diet, lifestyle, stress,
exercise, sleep, etc... Physical examination is conducted, your pulse
taken and your tongue examined according to the Chinese Medicine
diagnostic system. Then we will determine a treatment strategy that
best suits your individual needs and condition. Once a thorough
intake has been completed, diagnosis and treatment plan
determined, any remaining time will be devoted to a treatment.
Recommendations on diet, lifestyle, or therapeutic exercises may
also be given. In subsequent visits, less time will be needed for
intake and consultation, allowing more focus on the treatment itself.
To save time on your first visit, please fill-out a New Patient Form. Also, please bring with you any relevant medical test results, such as lab tests, MRI reports, etc...

time services are rendered. We will then provide you with an invoice to submit to your insurance company
for direct reimbursement to you. Cash, check, Visa and MasterCard are accepted as payment options.
