FAQ
Most patients are surprised how fertility acupuncture treatments involve minimal to no pain at all. Acupuncture needles are finer than a single hair strand; they are designed to enter the skin with as little resistance as possible. Sensations felt during fertility acupuncture include mild tingling, slight numbness or warmth on the acupuncture site. All acupuncture filaments we use are pre-sterilized and are packed individually to ensure safety.
We require all patients who are booked for appointments to send an advance notice. The notice must be sent within 24 for cancellations, schedule changes, etc.
Failure to do so will result in charging the patient a $50 fee.

Apart from using only the best known sources for botanical and herbal medicines, all our health specialists passed a rigorous examination to receive their license from the state and national acupuncture boards.
