Services and Fees

I currently offer Chinese Herbal Medicine Consultations in-person and via telemedicine. Consultations include intake, diagnosis, herb prescription, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Please note, the cost of herbs is not included and typically ranges from $20-$60 per week, although it can be more in certain cases.

• New Patient, 55-Minute Initial Consultation:  $350 (Sliding scale: $195-$350) New patients, select this option.

• Established Patient, 25-Minute Follow-Up Consultation:  $175 (Sliding scale: $95-$175)

• How often and for how long do you need to come?

It is difficult to know what a person will need and/or want without consulting first, so I always discuss treatment planning towards the end of the initial consultation.

Length of treatment will largely depend on your treatment goals, so once that has been discussed I provide my best estimate as to how long it may take to achieve your goals. What you decide to do, however, is ultimately up to you. I provide my best recommendation, but you are in charge and make the final decision.

Frequency of visits. I typically see patients once per week at the beginning of treatment (average of 3-6 times), then every-other week for a period of time (1-12 months, for example), and then in some cases once per month for a time.

• Chinese Herbs

Root and Branch, has both a bulk-herb and granule-herb pharmacy for your convenience. They also provide a free, bulk-herb preparation service in which they cook the herbs and give them to you in re-usable, glass mason-jars. This is the only such service that I know of in Portland, and is an excellent option.

Chinese herbal medicine is often sufficient on its own to treat many health problems. That said, I am a big believer in a multi-disciplinary approach and I often refer patients to providers who can address other aspects of their condition.
