Frequently Asked Questions

Why is your clinic fragrance free?

We often treat patients who are chemically-sensitive and suffer from allergies or inflammatory conditions aggravated by fragrances (both "natural" and artificial). For the health of all, we ask that patients and visitors to the clinic refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, body sprays, lotions, and other fragrant make-up or personal care products.

How much does treatment cost?

Functional Medicine intake appointments are $325; each follow-up session is $95.

Acupuncture sessions are $95.

We accept cash, check, or credit card.

Teacher, military, and frequent visit discounts are available.

No one should be unable to get the care they need, so fees can be arranged on a sliding scale. Please ask about payment options and discounts.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not accept insurance, and most health insurance providers do not cover functional medicine treatments. However, certain services, procedures, and lab tests in functional medicine can be covered by your insurance, depending on your plan. And Health Savings Accounts often can be used for acupuncture and related therapies. Check with your insurance and/or HSA provider to see what is covered.

How many treatments will I need?

The frequency, duration, and modalities of your treatment will be determined by you and your practitioner. With acupuncture, some patients notice results after the first treatment. For more complex conditions or long-term chronic injuries or illness, treatment may take longer. For Functional Medicine patients, a series of follow-ups will be needed based on your goals and the findings from your intake appointment and laboratory results.
