Telemedicine
Our acupuncturists offer herbal medicine and nutritional consults via telemedicine. If you’re hesitant about coming in person or just can’t make it in, consider using telemedicine instead.
Our acupuncturists can diagnose and create treatment plans for a variety of internal medicine and women’s health issues. For those seeking herbal medicine, we can ship your custom herbal formula directly to you!
To set up a telemedicine consult, book an appointment, and select the “Telemedicine Herbal/Nutrition Consult” option.
Not sure if telemedicine is right for you? Submit our telemedicine form, letting us know you’re interested. We’ll get back to you within about 24 hours and help you figure out what best suits your needs!
Our Services May be Covered by Your Insurance Plan
We are in-network with CareFirst/BlueCross and Aetna and would be happy to check your benefits. We offer other options for those who don’t have insurance coverage for acupuncture. Contact us for more details on self-pay options!
Your Acupuncture Treatment Plan
Your journey to better health begins before you step through our doors. You'll be able to easily schedule an appointment online as well as fill out your health history form before you arrive at our office—maximizing conversational and treatment time with your acupuncturist.
At your first appointment, your acupuncturist will discuss your health history, get input from you on what your treatment goals are, and develop a treatment plan. They'll then treat you using whatever services are best suited to your specific symptoms.
Although plans vary depending on the patient, most typically run for four weeks. At the end of your first visit, your acupuncturist will give you a written treatment plan. At subsequent visits, you'll discuss your symptoms and whether they've improved, regressed, or stayed the same. Your acupuncturist will adjust the treatment plan based on your input and their ongoing diagnosis of your condition.
When your main complaint is resolved, you can reduce treatment or work on another symptom. Still thinking it over? Take a look at our Testimonials page to see what other patients are saying.
