What to expect on your first visit:

Your appointment will generally last from 40 minutes to 1 hour.

As a new patient you fill out paperwork.

You can arrive a little early or on time for your appointment and fill it out in the waiting room.

After checking in for your appointment, your acupuncturist will follow up on the information you provided in your intake forms during a 20-25 minute consultation. He/She may ask you a series of detailed questions about any health problems or symptoms you might be having.

In addition to your paperwork and consultation, your practitioner will also examine your tongue and feel your pulse in both wrists in order to arrive at a traditional Chinese medical diagnosis.
