Initial Assessment
An initial assessment is required for every first time patient. This appointment is 60 minutes in duration to ensure adequate time for your story, questions, and concerns to be heard. We will discuss your complete medical history, lifestyle factors, current barriers and challenges, and work together to set attainable health goals. I will do physical examinations as necessary and may order pertinent lab testing. Once we have gathered all the information we need, a tailored treatment plan will be created to fit your life.

Follow-Up Visits
During the follow-up visit we will check in on your health concerns, how treatment is going, and what the next steps may be. From there, you will receive guidance on how to continue or adjust your treatment plan, as needed. We offer 15-, 30-, 45-, and 60-minute follow-up visits to cater to the complexity of all health concerns. If you are unsure of which visit you need, please contact myself or the front desk to help you with booking.
Telehealth
Virtual visits (via phone or online consultation) are now being offered to ensure that you receive the care you need during these unprecedented times. Connect with me from the comfort of your own home!
Lab Testing
Lab testing is a tool that I utilize for the investigation and monitoring of therapy. This may include blood, saliva, urine, or stool testing. If you have access to recent lab testing, please bring it to your visits with you!
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional therapy dating back thousands of years in which thin needles are inserted into various, specific points along the body. Acupuncture is a gentle therapy that stimulates the vital life force (Qi), improves overall health and wellbeing, and can be used to treat specific conditions, including digestive, hormonal, mood, pain, and sleep disturbances. The initial acupuncture visit is 75 minutes to allow for assessment and diagnosis prior to treatment. Follow-up treatments are 45 minutes.
Women’s Wellness exams
Women’s Wellness Exams offer important screening and diagnostic information. Included in this umbrella term are: pelvic exams, PAP exams, and breast exams. Pelvic and PAP exams may be indicated to screen for abnormal cells (precancerous and cancerous conditions), in conditions involving pelvic pain, infections, and inflammatory conditions of the female reproductive tract. A breast exam may be indicated if you are experiencing any changes to your breasts, symptoms such as pain, tenderness, inflammation, or nipple discharge, or for general screening purposes. With any Women’s Wellness Exam, it is important to me that you feel comfortable and empowered. Prior to the exam, we will go over informed consent, what to expect during and after, and any questions you might have. If you are due for a PAP or have any questions regarding these exams, don’t hesitate to reach out.
