Book this if you are a A. new acupuncture patient, B. if this is your first time seeing this acupuncturist, or C. you are a return patient but have a new more complex ailment or injury. You can expect a thorough diagnostic intake where your provider will ask about the details of your primary concern, past medical history, and questions to illuminate you as a holistic human. This allows your treatment to be highly specialized to your specific needs, and for return patients seeing a new provider, this allows them the extra time needed to get to know you and your body.
