Initial visit
The first visit typically lasts 60 minutes and involves numerous questions aimed at creating a detailed picture of your health history. It’s a good idea to bring any lab results or prescriptions you have, as they may contribute important information. A more focused exam may be necessary at this time as well (an abdominal exam if your primary concern is indigestion, for example). A treatment plan will be discussed during this visit and expanded on in subsequent visits.
follow up visits
These visits are 30-45 minutes depending on how much time is required.
The number of visits required to achieve your goals will depend on your health concerns and how quickly you have integrated any recommendations into your life. Two to three visits within a couple months is common. Once we have seen improvements, visits will likely become less frequent and will start to focus on maintenance. If getting acupuncture or IV treatments, visits will be more frequent.
