FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Clear answers before you begin.

Understanding what to expect helps you make a confident decision about your care.

What happens during the first consultation?

Your first visit is used to review your complete health history, current symptoms, prior treatments, medications, lifestyle, and goals. We then establish a Traditional Chinese Medical Dermatology diagnosis and discuss the most appropriate next steps.

Do you use Classical Nei Jing Style Acupuncture and herbs together?

They may be used together or separately. The treatment plan depends on your diagnosis, condition, preferences, and whether in-person or telehealth care is appropriate.

Do you work with chronic skin conditions?

Yes. Chinese medical dermatology is a major clinical focus, including eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and other persistent inflammatory skin conditions.

Are functional laboratory tests required?

No. Testing is used only when it is likely to add useful information or improve treatment direction. It is an adjunct to Traditional Chinese Medical Dermatology rather than a replacement for it.

How do I know whether the clinic is a good fit?

A complimentary 20-minute consultation is available to discuss your condition, your goals, and whether the clinic’s approach is appropriate for your needs.
