Initial patient visits include a health intake, exam, and treatment. Extra time is added to the first visit so that we can gain a thorough understanding of your current health state and both your short- and long-term healthcare goals. It also gives us the opportunity to answer any questions you may have about acupuncture or East Asian Medicine. NOTE: If you are seeking care for Fertility (Natural, IVF, IUI, etc.) or Reproductive/Pelvic Floor, then please schedule a corresponding Initial appointment type. There are specific intake forms required for those.
