Feel free to text or email if it is outside of office hours. We have an after hours answering service but they do not have the ability to book your consult.
You will need to fill out your forms online 24 hours prior to your consult. If you have any problems locating or filling out your forms please give us a call. Your appointment may be cancelled and rescheduled if your forms are not done on time.
Consult: What to Expect
All of our patients get started by meeting with Dr. Roper in a 5-15 minute consult to go over the best treatment plan. This will outline recommended services and expected length of treatment needed and expected costs.
​
Once you sign on to work with us you will be given more extensive paperwork to fill out so we can get started on a customized plan for you. Please take your time with these and be as thorough as you can.
We are providers but are not in network with any insurance company, however we are happy to provide you with a superbill that you can submit for reimbursement if your benefits cover our services.
​
Treatment may consist of a Acupuncture, ATP BioResonance Therapy, Ozone Insufflation, IV Therapy, Nutritional Guidance, Supplement Guidance or a combination.
Acupuncture: A series of acupuncture points will be left in for approximately 20 minutes. If added nourishment is required that day, we may use an infrared mineral lamp that is placed over a part of the body. Once the needles are all placed, you will be given a pager in case you need the our support staff for any reason. They will leave the room so that you can use this time to clear your mind, relax, meditate, sleep, or listen to the soft music playing. After the 20-30 minutes is up, your practitioner or support staff will re-enter the room and remove the needles. We may also use other modalities in conjunction with or instead of acupuncture depending on the patients needs.
​
Dr. Roper will talk to you about a treatment plan and guide you through any lifestyle, dietary, herbal and supplement changes needed. If you are recommended to do any functional medicine labs, we will get you scheduled for a functional medicine appointment. Very detailed health history is needed for this as well and all paperwork must be in before the initial case review appointment can be scheduled

Please wear loose clothing or bring a change of clothes with you. It is important to be able to access acupuncture points all over the body. If this is difficult there will be a sheet drape available.

Please refrain from heavy makeup and heavy perfumes. Some patients are sensitive to smells and it could interfere with clarity in diagnosis.

If you are sick, please wear a mask if there is a chance you are contagious. We have these for you if needed at the front desk.
