What to Expect at Your First Acupuncture Consultation in Bend, OR
Arriving at Mountain View Acupuncture for the first time should feel like the beginning of a solution, not another confusing medical appointment. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you book.
Complete Your Intake Online
Before your appointment, you will receive a secure online intake form. Taking a few minutes to fill it out means more of your first visit is focused on you, not paperwork.
A Thorough Initial Assessment
Your first visit runs 60 to 90 minutes. Your practitioner will review your health history, listen carefully to your concerns, and ask questions that bridge both Eastern diagnostic patterns and Western clinical thinking.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
No two patients receive the same plan. Depending on your needs, treatment may incorporate acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Western herbal supplements, or referrals coordinated with your existing medical team.
Follow-Up Care That Adapts
Follow-up appointments run 45 to 60 minutes. Your plan is reviewed and adjusted as your condition evolves, so you are always receiving care that fits where you are today.
