Verify Your Insurance

And a few more things…

  • Please eat something before you come; it’s best not to be too hungry (or too full) for an acupuncture treatment.
  • If you can, wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be pushed up above the elbows and knees.  (If you’re coming from work, or whatever, don’t worry; we’ll figure it out!)
  • You can park in the lot behind the building.
  • Your practitioner (Marilyn or Sharon) will meet you in the first floor waiting room.  Help yourself to water or tea.  The receptionist will be happy to help you find the bathrooms or anything else you need.

Any last-minute changes, questions, or general nervousness — feel free to contact us!
