Have you ever wished your body would listen when you ask “Can you just cooperate”?

There is significant reason, both scientific and experiential, to believe that my scope of practice can help your pain and internal medicine conditions without pharmaceuticals or surgery.

Modern science is supporting how ancient physicians used their tools for their patients in the past.

Modern science has also shown how they can be used, in other ways, for the modern world.

My goal is to bridge these two worldviews in my treatment rooms, helping my patients achieve a higher quality of life where they need it.

• Acupuncture is a great tool that can be used for many different conditions, both described in ancient texts and modern studies. I tend to use it the most often in Orthopedic (pain, limited movement, swelling) and Neurological (numbness/tingling, lack of strength, stroke recovery) conditions, and integrate it into other protocols.

• Herbal Formulas are indispensable when it comes to Internal Medicine conditions (involving our organs and other bodily processes). Modern research focuses on the pharmacological constituents of herbs, ancient instructions show us how to use them together to create results that other approaches, to put it simply, can’t.

• Meditation is another great tool that I introduce to most of my patients. Most start seeing benefits lasting into daily life pretty quickly, depending on what we’re working on. Meditation is similar to taking herbs or medication; if you don’t do it, you won’t see the continued results. I focus on easy meditations rather than strenuous ones for this reason.

My Treatment Plans Include:

• A gentle introduction to acupuncture and needles.

• A treatment plan that is affordable, whether using cash or insurance, and tailored to you, your needs, and your goals. There aren’t any cookie cutter plans with me.

  • If using insurance, I handle verifications, copays/coinsurance/visit limits before additional paperwork/etc. If we need more visits than your insurance originally allows, my chart notes are up to par, allowing for a greater chance they’ll approve more visits.

• Providing interventions that are proven to reduce most types of pain and inflammation in 1-2 visits, along with reducing your risk of an exacerbation (flare up) of your condition.

• Walking you through every step of the way, all the way to the end of your treatment plan.

In Addition:

• A Home Care Plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. These are always designed to get you better, faster.

  • Although I enjoy seeing my patients, I don’t want you to be reliant on outside intervention (including visits with me). I understand that coming in for treatment means you need a problem solved. I want to make sure we get to the root of the problem, and do my best to help you prevent it from happening again in the future.

• If appropriate, an herbal formulation to aid in your recovery and healing. Or, to tackle a secondary issue.

• Additional exam times to make sure we’re making measurable progress.

• Flexible scheduling for busy people, any flare ups, and other questions/concerns.

• Appropriate referrals with my healthcare colleagues who’s expertise differ from my own.

• A Patient Portal to help manage your scheduling, easy New Patient Paperwork management, and other aspects of treatment.

Considerations:

• I only have space in my schedule for 5 new patients per week due to my emphasis of 1-on-1 time, attention, and comprehensive treatment planning. If you’re thinking about reaching out, please do this sooner rather than later.

• Instances of Late Cancellations/No Shows are subject to additional fees that insurance does not cover.

• Keep in mind, if I don't think I can help you, I won't charge you for your initial visit and won't put you on the schedule.

• I need to put new patients on a wait list when my schedule is full. I do my best to create fast and lasting results for my patients to keep a wide range of availability. If a wait list is present and you need something urgent, we will discuss what the best route of action is for you.
