The unique setting has a relaxed, quiet ambience rather than the busy buzz of a medical clinic. This healing environment begins assisting in restoring your health while in the waiting room or during your treatments.Prior to the initial consultation, please fill out preliminary questionnaires and assessment forms and bring them to your first visit. If you have recent lab work (blood tests, saliva tests etc.) please bring copies of those results. HIPPA requirements mandate that copies of tests and notes from other physicians can only be released with your written request. Please bring all nutritional supplements and prescription bottles with information on the medications you are currently taking or if you have taken the medication in the recent past. Dr. Gordon is very thorough in her intake process but please do not hesitate to create a list of concerns so that each one is addressed. Dress in loose clothing for the ease of lifting the pant-legs and sleeves to access acupuncture points on either the arms or legs. Initial Consultation
You will bring with you the preliminary questionnaires and assessment forms. At our meeting, you will be able to tell me what your symptoms are and what you are looking for in terms of treatment, care and support. I will ask how committed you are to your health and what impact the symptoms might have on your quality of life if they continue. Our relationship requires both of us to be dedicated to your health and well-being. (Remember, the doctor cannot do what the patient won't.)
If you are in an acute crisis, a brief exam of your tongue and pulse along with an acupuncture treatment will follow, and you will be given some nutritional or herbal supplementation necessary to move you out of crisis. If you are not in crisis or when you are out of crisis, I will give you an in-depth medical history and lifestyle summary forms including a dietary review to fill out and bring to your next visit. During this consultation, we will be gathering information through saliva testing, bioresonance muscle testing, physical exam, tongue and pulse readings to determine how your body is responding to your current stress. Then you will be coached on preparing for the next visit. This could include teaching you how to take your morning saliva and urine PH, and some functional thyroid tests, for the next 7 days. You will also learn how to prepare for collecting your urine the morning prior to your next visit. If we determine it necessary, we will retest you every 3-6 weeks to monitor your treatments and supplements. This, as well as the bioresonance muscle testing, is designed to track your improvement. This initial session is an hour and a half, with follow up sessions being; one hour, a half an hour, or 15 minutes depending on your particular case.Clinical Testing
