 Our staff are fully vaccinated. And we still wear the mask on. Also we ask all patients to wear mask too. We will continue our efforts to protest everyone. 

6/2020

We have implemented the following measures as to our practice:

• Prescreening COVID-19 questions and temperature check prior to the appointments. If the patient has a fever, cough, shortness of breath or other COVID-19 symptoms, the appointment will be rescheduled.

• Requesting that everyone wears masks inside the clinic.

• Updating our online booking software to allow patients to fill out online intake forms to minimize stay in the waiting room.

• Installing a wash sink in our office. Every patient needs wash their hands before entering the treatment room. 

• Extended appointment times allow for sanitizing rooms after each visit.

• All chairs and tables are covered by vinyl with a disposable sheet on top of it.

• All chairs/ tables are a minimum of 8 feet apart 

• Minimizing non-clinical ‘touch’ interactions (wireless pay options, e-receipts, touchless trash cans and paper towel dispensers)

• Placing an air purifier in treatment room, opening window periodically.

• All Frequently touched areas are being disinfected multiple times a day

• Staff daily health screening and temperature checks.

•  Signs around the office encourage social distancing.

           As alway, we will follow clean needle technique in our acupuncture practice, clean with bleach or autoclave cupping after each use. I am proud to say we have met all of Government requirements prior to reopening and I have instituted more than what is required. 

• In keeping with our mission to provide accessible acupuncture for all, we are keeping our fees at $25-55 for now, despite having to lower our patient volume and added operating expenses. We ask that if you have not been negatively impacted financially by COVID-19 to consider paying at a higher rate on the scale in order to help us continue with our mission and support those who have been impacted.  
• Late cancellation fee has raised to $20. 

If you are feeling sick or experience any COVID-19 symptoms (See below), please cancel your appointment. Please stay home and contact your primary care physician. There’s no fee for cancelling if you’re sick, but please contact us as soon as possible!

• Fever equal to or above 100.4°F
• Cough
• Chills
• Shortness of breath
• Sore throat
• Muscle aches that aren’t caused by specific activity such as exercise
• Headache
• Loss of taste or smell
