For your first visit:
Download and print New Patient Forms (pdf) as well as the Infromed Consent Form (pdf) and fill them out before your first visit. If you don't have access to a printer, no worries! Try to come to the office 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allow easy access to your arms and legs, possibly abdomen or back. Try to remember to eat something, even if it is a light snack, 1-2 hours before your treatment.
Allow 90 minutes for your first visit. Much like an initial visit to a Western doctor, your first visit will begin with a thorough intake of the main condition(s) you want to focus on, as well as your overall medical/health history. Lisa will take your pulse and observe your tongue, the two primary objective methods of assessing the patient in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Other forms of assessment may apply as well. This part will take 30-60 minutes. 20-40 minutes will be devoted to treatment. Subsequent sessions will have both intake and treatment components.
The duration and frequency of subsequent treatments will vary by individual, and will be discussed during your first visit.
For questions, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions page and/or contact Lisa directly.
