Why Taking Time with My Intake Form Matters for Your Health
When you make the decision to see me, you're taking an important step toward improving your health, and I deeply value the trust you place in me to support you on this journey. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), my goal is to provide you with the best possible care, tailored to your unique needs. To do that, I need your help—specifically, by taking the time to thoughtfully complete my intake form.
Your Health, Through a Different Lens
The intake form I’ve designed isn’t just a routine checklist. Every question is carefully crafted to gather essential information that will help me understand your health from a TCM perspective. TCM offers a different viewfinder compared to the allopathic (Western) medicine you might be more familiar with, and this alternative perspective is one of the reasons you’ve chosen to work with me.
While my training includes aspects of Western medicine, my true expertise lies in TCM. I like to think of myself as a Western/Eastern thinker, someone who values the insights of Western research but also relies on the deep wisdom of TCM. This unique combination allows me to diagnose and treat your health concerns in a holistic and personalized way.
Why Your Input is So Important
If you’re dedicating your time, energy, and resources to your health by coming to see me, I know that you’re committed to achieving the best possible results. To help you get there, I need to fully understand your health as it stands right now, and that’s where the intake form comes in.
Every answer you provide is a potential key to unlocking a deeper understanding of your health. Your responses guide me through various diagnostic pathways, allowing me to see the full picture of your well-being. That’s why it’s so important to take your time and answer each question thoroughly.
My Process and Commitment to Your Care
I want you to know that I don’t just glance at your intake form once and set it aside. I have a ritual: I read your form when you first complete it, again the day before our appointment, and once more when we sit down together. This repeated review helps me become deeply familiar with your case, enabling me to ask the right questions during our time together and to arrive at the most accurate diagnosis.
This careful, detailed process allows me to develop a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to you—one that addresses your individual needs and helps you achieve the optimal health you’re striving for.
A Request for Your Time and Focus
I understand that the intake form is comprehensive and might take a bit of time to complete, but I want to reassure you that every piece of information you provide is invaluable. The more I know about your health, the better equipped I am to guide you on your healing journey.
Thank you for investing the time to complete the form thoughtfully. It’s a vital step in ensuring that we can work together effectively to bring about the positive changes you’re seeking in your health.
I’m here to support you every step of the way, and I’m excited to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
