How to prepare for treatment

In-person appointments: Please complete your intake forms (for first appointments) and screening form (for all appointments) prior to arriving. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, bring a water bottle if you anticipate needing one, and try to eat something substantial within an hour or two before your treatment. As a courtesy to our allergy patients, avoid wearing strong perfumes.  Kindly silence all mobile devices and put them away during treatment.

Telemedicine appointments: Please complete your intake forms (for first appointments) prior to your online session. We recommend using the latest version of Chrome on your desktop or laptop computer. Joining your appointment is easy - just click the link in your email reminder that will be provided 30 minutes prior to your session, or by logging into your account.
