1. ​You need to download the above COVID-19 Informed Consent form,  reviews, initials, signs, and scans (or takes a photo) and emails the form to [email protected]. If you can't email it to me, bring the form for your appointment. When you can't print the form after all, please inform me before you come to the office and you can fill out the form in the treatment room. (one time only)
2. In the case that you are a new patient, you need to download the above Consent to the acupuncture treatment form and reviews, signs and scans (or takes a photo) and emails it to [email protected]. If you can't email it to me, bring the form for your appointment. When you can't print the form after all, please inform me before you come to the office and you can fill out the form in the treatment room. (one time only)
3. The morning of your appointment you will receive a phone call (or text) to ask whether you have any suspected symptoms of Covid-19 or not. If you have, you need to reschedule or contact your doctor.
4. When you get to the door of the office, please text 617-584-8703. We will meet you at the door to do a quick temperature check with an contact-less thermometer. 
5. All patients are recommended to wear a face covering of some kind the entire time you are in the office, for the duration of the treatment.  We will be wearing surgical masks (Updated 5/29/2022). 
6. Upon entering the treatment room, all patients are required to wash their hands prior to entering the treatment room. Hand sanitizer is also available if needed.
7. You will be taken to the treatment room directly. 
8. We will require “touch less” payments for all patients.  You might be asked to put a credit card in the system to expedite that process at the end of the treatment.  eGift Card, Paypal or Venmo is also welcome, if done at the time of service. 
9. Follow up appointments can be scheduled prior to leaving the treatment room.  Scheduling ahead of time on line, if you are able, will help to expedite our check out process.
10. Once your treatment is done, you will be taken to the office door.

What we need from you:

1. Please do not bring anyone with you to your appointment.  Should you need to bring anyone, they can’t come inside the office so they need to wait outside of the office or in the car unless the patient is a child.
2. Please DO NOT bring unnecessary items into the office with you, i.e., purses, bags, water bottles, any food, iPads, etc..  The fewer items you have the less likely we will have any issues with contamination.
3. Please DO NOT come to your appointment if you have, or have had, any cold or flu symptoms in the past 14 days, have traveled recently, or have any of the symptoms that are associated with Covid-19.   This applies if you have a household member with any symptoms.  We know that there are many silent carriers, but out goal is to minimize any exposure of known causes.  Instead, call us to reschedule or discuss other options.
