your first visitAt a typical new patient appointment,
you will be greeted by our friendly staff and asked to complete a brief personal information sheet for future contact and computer purposes. The staff will explain our policies and escort you to my office. An initial appointment last about an hour.
Prior to your appointment, you will receive paperwork to complete. This will include a systems assessment, a food log, and a toxicity questionnaire. Please set aside 20-30 minutes to complete these forms, as they are quite comprehensive.
Medical History
If you have any blood work within one year, saliva tests, or other pertinent information, please bring those with you to your initial appointment. If you are on any prescribed medications, please make a list of them and bring that as well.
follow up appointments
are usually scheduled 2-4 weeks after your initial appointment depending on your needs, and will be 30 minutes long. Please bring your supplements with you on your follow up appointments. If you have questions about your protocol, do not hesitate to call the office, we are happy to answer any questions you have. Don’t forget to check out our Resources page for helpful handouts and our Blog for health articles and videos!
Advanced Technology

It sends an imperceptible signal into your body via the acupuncture points on the hand. If an organ system is stressed or needs support, the signal will be enhanced or diminished. The computer gathers this information and compiles it into graphs for us to review.
