SCHEDULING
Welcome! If you have specific questions you would like to discuss before your visit, select the Free Introductory Call. If you're ready to make your first appointment, select either "Acupuncture" or "Initial TeleHealth Consultation + First Follow-Up" depending on your visit preference. Please note that for your initial TeleHealth visit, you will just be scheduling your first visit, and your follow-up will be planned directly with Dr. Oristano.
FREE Introductory Call: A FREE 15 minute phone call with Dr. Oristano designed to help answer questions and chat before your first visit.
Initial Acupuncture: An initial consultation for patients who are only interested in acupuncture treatments, which may also include cupping or gua sha. 60 minutes. $125.
Follow-Up Acupuncture: Acupuncture-only follow-ups for established patients. 45 minutes. $90.
Initial Telehealth Consultation + First Follow-Up: A smörgåsbord of Integrative Mental Health services. Dr. Oristano's Telehealth Consultations are a Choose Your Own Adventure! Depending on your needs, they may include Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mental health coaching, HAES-informed nutrition, and lifestyle assessment. Dr. Oristano may also guide you through acupressure techniques that you can do yourself from the comfort of your own home. Dr. Oristano requires that new patients commit to the first two visits. The first visit is primarily information gathering and a complete biopsychosocial intake, and the second visit will be devoted to your personalized plan. Again, this price includes TWO 60 minute visits. The first can be scheduled with the link above, the second will be scheduled at the end of your first appointment. $300.
Follow-Up Telehealth Consultation: A continuation of the initial two visits, particularly beneficial for patients who desire ongoing care. 60 minutes. $150.
COVID-19 PRACTICE POLICIES
- All new and returning patients will be required to complete a digital COVID19 screening and liability waiver.
- All patients MUST WEAR MASKS for the entire duration of their visit. This means real masks, either woven fabric or medical. Scarves and handkerchiefs are not effective. Additionally, please wear or bring loosely fitted, 2-piece clothing items for ease during treatment.
- Please sanitize your hands, either by washing for 20 seconds or by using the hand sanitizer that will be provided. Your temperature and O2 saturation will be taken upon arrival.
- Surfaces will be disinfected with Cavicide and the room will be aired out between patients. There will be a 15 minute gap between visits to allow for this. Please be mindful of your appointment time to allow Dr. Oristano the necessary space to make her office safer for you and for others.
- As has always been the case, all new patients will be required to schedule in advance, provide credit card information, and fill out paperwork digitally BEFORE their appointment. No walk-ins of any kind.
- After your visit, you will be able to exit out the back door to avoid contact with other patients.
- If you have a fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of taste or smell, or any signs of respiratory illness, please you stay home and wait two weeks from the initial symptoms to schedule. If you have been exposed to someone who is ill or has tested positive for COVID-19, or if you have been around people outside of your pod without wearing your mask, please wait at least two weeks before making an appointment.
- In-person visits are currently only available for physical modalities (acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, etc.). Visits for DBT coaching, nutrition, and lifestyle assessment must still be done via TeleHealth for the time being.
- Please remember that while these policies have been shown to be extremely effective in COVID-19 prevention, nothing is certain, and that you assume accountability for any personal risk. Policies are subject to change as circumstances change.
