COVID-19

 In the state of Colorado, Acupuncturists are considered Medical Providers offering Critical Care.

There are significant changes that are now required of the clinic and therefore significant changes to your experience. This will be a transition for all of us and I appreciate your understanding and patience. 

 

I have summed up what you can expect from the new experience in the clinic:

  • When you arrive you’ll wait in your car until a few minutes prior to your treatment.
  • Please enter the building with a mask. Head straight to the bathroom to wash your hands first
  • Please head into the clinic and wait in the waiting room until your provider is ready to get you back to your room
  • We will briefly check in and get you on the table for your treatment. You may be asked to keep your mask on for the entire duration of your treatment so pick the right mask/gaiter for this experience (!!)

Read below for more details to this new experience

Updated list on what to expect for now:

  • At your appointment time ~

    • If you are early, please wait in your car until your treatment time.
    • Please use the bathroom ahead of time and wash your hands
    • You may have a temp check upon arrival
    • **if you have a temperature over 100 degrees, I cannot see you. To avoid this happening, please also take temperature at home before heading to your appointment
  • New scheduling style ~

    • After temp check, we will head straight to your treatment room and do intake there (no more intake room first)
    • I am adopting a new style schedule so that no two patients should be arriving or leaving at the same time
  • Masks, masks for everybody ~ 

    • I will have a K95 or surgical mask on at all times
    • You must wear a mask or gaiter covering your nose and mouth at all times in the common spaces within our building (this may include during your treatment) – this can be a mask of whatever material and I strongly suggest you wear the most comfortable one possible 
    • If you forget a mask, I will have a clean disposable mask for your use
  • Treatment Rooms ~

    • The treatment rooms must be clear of all non-essential items/materials
  • Sauna room ~

    • The sauna room is now a 3rd treatment room
    • Anyone with credit for the sauna can use that credit towards acupuncture or be reimbursed
  • Social Distancing

    • Please maintain social distancing within the office
    • I share the space with other providers who may or may not have clients coming and going. Please give space whenever possible
  • WEDNESDAY now designated for age 65+/”High-Risk”

    • Please contact the clinic to schedule an appointment
    • Appointment times available 9-3pm
    • If you are over 65 years old or are high risk and want to keep your appointment on a different day of the week, that is fine. You are not required to move to Wednesdays.
  • Payments & Scheduling

    • In an effort to limit contact at the desk, I plan to take payments by running cards on file or sending an invoice via email.
    • If you write checks, please bring your own pen
    • To reschedule, I will send you options via text or email. You can also schedule online.
  • Closure ~

    • At any point, I may have to close due to county or state recommendation. I will call patients within 24 hours and send an email to everyone else.

In summary, here are changes required of you:

  • Come wearing a mask and expect to keep it on at all times
  • Wash your hands prior to entry
  • No gloves please
  • Limit materials you bring into your appointment, only necessary items
  • Limit touching surfaces when in the clinic
  • Please come alone to your treatment, unless you require assistance
