What to Bring

Home > Your First Visit > What to Bring

Because Oriental Medicine draws its diagnosis from the comprehension and understanding of everything that is happening in the client’s constitution, the first visit is largely focused on gathering information. The information is then assimilated, understood, and recognized as a pattern, which becomes the diagnosis. From this newly acquired perspective, we now stand in a position of considerable advantage — we now have the understanding of what must take place to resolve the undesirable condition/s you are experiencing.

Toward this end, you are requested to bring as much helpful information to your first visit as possible. This includes, of course, the thoughtfully completed questionnaire you have downloaded or received by mail.


Additionally, you are requested to bring the following items, if you have access to them:

  • All medications, herbs, and supplements you are taking, currently or in the recent past. Please bring them in their original containers, so we may see the ingredients.

  • Any lab work which has recently been completed — blood, urine, saliva, or stool studies. These tests belong to you, and you are entitled to copies of them from any health care provider, although the provider may require a nominal fee for a large number of copies. The quickest choice may be to request that they be faxed to this office at 505.266.2923.

  • Imaging studies, such as X-rays, MRIs, CAT or bone scans, or bone density scans. It is generally not necessary to bring the actual films — the written report will do, for now.

These items may shed helpful insights on your condition, and sometimes reduce the need to run additional tests. If there is something not on the above list, which you feel is relevant to the journey to your restored health, please don’t hesitate to bring it.
