Due to Covid

Due to COVID-19, we have implemented many changes in the way we serve patients. Our office includes a new HVAC system with air filtration systems for individual rooms, a private bathroom for patient-use only, and plenty of fresh-air circulation. All initial health histories are sent electronically through our HIPAA-compliant booking system. Clients will be able to complete, sign, and email these forms and any other medical records electronically. Initial acupuncture sessions are scheduled in two parts: The initial intake completed via telehealth followed by an initial acupuncture session.

If you schedule your appointment online, please contact us if you need more than 15-20 minutes of travel time so that can schedule you accordingly. Clients will also receive an electronic COVID screening questionnaire, 2-hours prior to their next scheduled appointment. When you arrive for in-person appointments, we will ask you to notify us via text. Patients are required to wear a mask at all times. If you forget a mask, please let us know and we can provide one for you.

Our staff is required is wear an N95 mask as well as additional personal protection equipment according to current CDC, Massachusetts, and other regulatory board recommendations. Once you arrive at the office, we will complete a temperature check and ask you to wash your hands prior to entering the treatment area. We ask that other person accompanying you to the appointment follow these same procedures. Additionally, we are also using touch-free electronic methods of payment including all major credit cards to simplify our check-out process. These are just a handful of the changes we have made in response to COVID. If you have any additional questions, concerns, or would like a complete copy of our COVID Office Policies, please contact us directly and we will be happy to assist you further.
