Notes  /  Before you arrive

What happens at a first visit?

If you’re coming to see me for the first time, here’s what to wear and when to arrive at each clinic.

Start with what brought you in

We’ll start by talking about your health history and what you’d like help with. Bring any questions you have. You can ask me to walk you through the treatment before we begin.

At Alban on the Upper West Side

Wear loose, comfortable clothing with sleeves and pant legs that roll up easily. If you need a drape, towel, or gown during your visit, just ask and we’ll provide one. You’re welcome to bring relevant test results or updates from another clinician. Call the office before you book if you’d like to check your insurance or ask about the fee.

At Brooklyn Acupuncture Project

Choose an initial appointment and allow about an hour. You’ll receive intake and consent forms by email. Please complete them 24 hours before your visit and arrive five minutes early. After we talk, you’ll receive treatment in the shared room.
