Your First Appointment

In an effort to maximize your experience and time during your first appointment, please review the following information.  

Before Your First Appointment
Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to fill out the lengthy initial assessment forms.  This allows for deeper understanding of your individual needs and makes sure we thoroughly assess everything.  There are numerous forms and paperwork to fill out for ONLY the initial appointment.
 
What Information to Bring
Please bring ALL of your herbal or nutritional supplements.  Please also bring in a list of all your prescription medications, including dosages and names.  It is helpful to bring the actual bottles of everything you are taking.  This helps us check for any possible herbal or nutritional drug interactions with medications.

If you have your medical records, please bring them to the appointment.  This includes any recent lab work, medical imaging results (MRI, CT Scan, Ultrasound), urinalysis, medical test or blood tests.  It is not required but can be very helpful.  Please bring a short list of your health goals and primary areas of concern.  Make a short list of the physical and emotional symptoms you most like us to facilitate your healing.

The Initial Appointment
All clients receive a 90 – 120 minute initial appointment.  This ensures a complete assessment that address all the individuals unique needs.  The initial appointment includes nutrition and dietary analysis, food allergy questioning, review of medical history, family medical history, interpretation of labs, emotional and personality tendencies, TCM pulse assessment, TCM tongue assessment and complete herb assessment.

Feel free to discuss anything with us that you feel is important to your healthcare.  This includes your unique beliefs, spiritual practices, customs, dietary philosophies, ideas on the healing process, previous failure or success with medications/supplements or any other important aspects of your life.  Everything that is on your mind is important to the success of your healing process.  You will not be judged and can be assured you will be accepted.  We pride ourselves on being receptive, understanding, and caring.  All information is always completely confidential.
