Services and Fees
I currently offer Chinese Herbal Medicine Consultations in-person and via telemedicine. Consultations include intake, diagnosis, herb prescription, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Please note, the cost of herbs is not included and typically ranges from $20-$60 per week, although it can be more in certain cases.
• New Patient, 55-Minute Initial Consultation: $350 (Sliding scale: $195-$350)
• Established Patient, 25-Minute Follow-Up Consultation: $175 (Sliding scale: $95-$175)
• How often and for how long do you need to come?
It is difficult to know what a person will need and/or want without consulting first, so I always discuss treatment planning towards the end of the initial consultation.
Length of treatment will largely depend on your treatment goals, so once that has been discussed I provide my best estimate as to how long it may take to achieve your goals. What you decide to do, however, is ultimately up to you. I provide my best recommendation, but you are of course in charge and make the final decision.
Frequency of visits. I typically see patients once per week at the beginning of treatment (average of 2-6 times), then every-other week for a period of time (average 2-6 times), and then once per month for a time. This can of course vary.
• Chinese Herbs
Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine and Root and Branch (in Portland), both have bulk-herb and granule-herb pharmacies for your convenience.
Chinese herbal medicine is often sufficient on its own to treat many health problems. That said, I am a big believer in a multi-disciplinary approach and I often refer patients to providers who can address other aspects of their condition.
