Scheduling an appointment: While we can often squeeze an established patient in as a walk-in, new patients must make appointments. Please use our online scheduling link (Book Now) to schedule a New Patient Appointment, or give us a call at (719)464-5211. You will be emailed a secure link to fill out a health history questionnaire that needs to be completed before your initial appointment. We are a scent-free environment and ask that you please do not wear any perfume/cologne or strong deodorants. We look forward to working with you!
What to expect on your first visit: If you have completed the online health history questionnaire at home, we ask that you arrive 5 minutes early. If you were unable to fill out the questionnaire at home, please arrive 15-20 minutes prior to your appointment time so that you can fill it out at our office. When you arrive at the clinic, you will be welcomed by our receptionist who will give you a brief orientation to our clinic and how to use our self pay station. We prefer to accept payments and schedule the next appointment before treatments so that patients don't have any logistics to take care of afterwards.
Your initial intake will take place in a private office, where we will discuss your health concerns and a treatment plan. Follow-up visits involve a quick check-in while in the treatment room. This consists of general questions whispered between acupuncturist and patient, for example: "How have your symptoms changed since your last treatment?" If you have a need for more privacy at any time, just let us know. After your initial intake we will move to the treatment room, where you can pick a comfy recliner, take off your shoes and socks, and roll up your sleeves and pant legs above your elbows and knees to start your treatment. Once the needles are in, you can lie back, relax, and rest. While we have soft music playing and white noise machines, some people bring headsets to listen to their own music or earplugs in case others are snoring. We encourage this kind of self-care, to create the most comfortable treatment possible. Please let us know if you need to leave by a certain time, otherwise we let you rest until you make eye contact to signal that you are done. Most of our patients rest from 30-60 minutes. If you have any questions, we encourage you to read this welcome letter and give us a call. |
