Your Visit
to Joy Vision Acupuncture
After scheduling your appointment, we will send you a link to the onpatient portal. This is where you can fill out your intake and sign consent forms. If you do not fill out forms online please arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment to fill out forms at the clinic. For automated reminders before your appointment, you may choose between email, automated call, or text. When you arrive at Joy Vision Acupuncture, Heather will greet you and check you in. If you are receiving Acunova, she will also conduct a quick eye chart exam. You will then go to your treatment room where there will be a recliner or massage table for you to get comfortable and remove your shoes. There is an additional chair in each treatment room for anyone accompaning you. Dr. Siegel will then come in to greet you, conduct a consultation and answer any questions. She will then proceed by placing needles in the points. You will then rest with the needles in for 30-40 minutes. Most people take a nap or go into a state of relaxation. Dr. Siegel will then remove the needles. For traditional acupuncture you then check out. If receiving Acunova, there is a 1 hour break. You may relax in your room or the lounge areas. We have wifi if you’d like to get some work done during the break. Then proceed with treatment 2, another 30 minute acupuncture session. For Acunova, plan to be at the clinic for 2-2.5 hours per treatment day. For traditional acupuncture, plan to be at the clinic for 1 hour.
