Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically my patients are referred from other patients, and I do an initial consultation over the phone as they are considering making an appointment. Patients must be comfortable with their treating provider first and foremost.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a practicing anesthesiologist at the Portland VA Medical center since 1998 and became interested in learning about acupuncture in the early 2000's. I became credentialled as an acupuncturist in 2005.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
If patients have insurance which covers acupuncture, I bill for the service according to the established fee schedule. For patients paying cash, my fee is $50 per treatment. For home treatments far from my office, I would consider a travel fee in addition.
