What to expect at Gentle Tiger Acupuncture…

by Miguel on Jul.18, 2010, under Acupuncture/OM

I would like to give a little insight into a few of the comforts and features of the acupuncture experience at Gentle Tiger Acupuncture. I’ve thought about what we do for you and for those of you who are working to decide whether or not acupuncture is right for you, I’d like you to know that receiving acupuncture at Gentle Tiger Acupuncture is just the tip of the iceberg. So check out this list and enjoy…

1. If you’d like, there is free tea served fresh on the spot. We have some green teas, some rooibos to choose from, a variety of ginger teas and some bengal spice . I’m not sure of the exact flavor of the bengal spice, but I do know that it’s my second favorite behind the rooibos.

2. The lighting is warm and comfortable, no harsh overhead lights and enough light to read by if you choose.

3. Thought provoking reading on the coffee table in the waiting area. I realize that you come to Gentle Tiger to relax, but that doesn’t mean you have to read mindless drivel while you’re waiting for your acupuncture session…

4. Which brings me to the next convenience and great detail at Gentle Tiger Acupuncture – The wait for an acupuncture treatment  is short. Upon successive visits, I will have reviewed our last session and written a list of questions for the next acupuncture session BEFORE you arrive. I concretized this practice based on the feedback of a wonderful client in a survey sent out last year.

5. I LOVE feedback – even negative. I’m good, but I’m not perfect! LOL! Please feel free to tell me what you need different, altered, changed, shifted, rearranged, etc. and we’ll do our best to accomodate your need.

6. There is a consistently clean restroom down the hall – I don’t take that for granted. :) I often find that it’s helpful to use it before your acupuncture session.

7.  We do accept check, cash, Visa, Mastercard and Discover.

8. We are very flexible when it comes to scheduling your acupuncture appointment. If you call same day to change to a different time that day – It’s usually not a problem. Janet my office manager, will be willing to accomodate your time change if it’s available.  

9. Underground parking is free – You don’t even need to validate it. There’s also extra parking on the near side to the Quarry Arts Building in the Whole Foods parking lot.

10. You may not be 100% fixed after your first acupuncture treatment, but you’ll definitely notice a positive change – it can even be dramatically improved – I can’t guarantee that it will happen, but I cannot guarantee that it won’t –  I’ve seen dramatic positive change happen in my clinic.

11. Your name and file is kept confidential and your information – even your email address for the e-newsletter – is shared with NO ONE.

12. After your first acupuncture session, we will have a game plan (a.k.a. a Report of Findings) that outlines the course of treatment – how many acupuncture sessions, how often, the cost of each, the dates/times of each, your Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, What the goal of treatment is going to be, and there will be a reassessment after a certain amount of acupuncture sessions to determine and celebrate your progress!

13. I do offer some reimbursement through Unity Health and Dean Care. I am currently working to expand my insurance offerings.

14. Before you even arrive for your first acupuncture session, I will send you information about what to expect at your first acupuncture session, so there is no confusion and I definitely invite any further questions acupuncture and/or oriental medicine, if anything doesn’t make sense or your just curious.

15. At our first session, I’ll give you a nutshell description of how acupuncture works, so you’ll know what I’m doing when I put the needles in. The more you know, the better your acupuncture session and the confidence you’ll have that there are guidelines specific to you and your journey in health and wellness. 

These are just a few of the bennies that are offered in the Gentle Tiger Acupuncture Experience. I hope that this list sheds some light on what you should expect when you go in for ANY medical treatments, appointments or visits, whether it’s acupuncture or something else. Although, I think you may be hard pressed to find this much offered anywhere else. I pride myself on patient care, bedside manner and accuracy of treatment.
