What to Expect:

To best serve you, we separate acupuncture visits from wellness consultations.

The time allocated to acupuncture follow up visits, includes a brief check in but cannot easily accommodate for in depth or complex nutritional or wellness consultations at the same time. To best serve you, we separate acupuncture visits from wellness consultations.

Administrative Charges:

Please note that issues that require Dr. Schnyer to spend additional time outside your appointment visit – such as to change a supplement or herbal plan, or to review labs – will incur a separate administrative fee to cover her time spent on your case. Limited: $45; Extended: $75; Comprehensive: $150.

Phone, email or virtual appointments:

Consultations can be set up via phone, or Zoom. Quick Patient Portal follow ups in response to a clinical question are included as part of your last visit, as long as it is within a reasonable time (2 weeks) since your last seen in person. In depth clinical issues managed through email, may incur an additional fee.

Wellness Plans and Handouts:

After a wellness consultation, you can find a copy of our recommendations and helpful handouts in your portal. Please check the tab, “My visit Summaries” for a Wellness Plan, and “Documents and Labs” for the handouts.

Functional Lab Evaluation:

Functional medicine assessment is designed to assist Dr. Schnyer in identifying the potential underlying causes of your condition; we do not diagnose or treat disease, we restore balance to the organism. A functional interpretation of your standard labs, gives us a window into the nutrient status of the body and whether you are trending towards or away from optimal health. Functional medicine laboratory testing in our office is used to evaluate nutritional, biochemical, or physiological imbalance and to determine any need for medical referral.

Chinese herbal prescriptions are ordered through AOMA Herbal Medicine, which has two locations North and South. Please call the pharmacy beforehand.
