We want your first experience with us to feel comfortable and unhurried. Here's what to expect from the moment you arrive.
Your initial consultation lasts 75 minutes. Dr. Wei will take a thorough health history, ask about your sleep, digestion, emotions, and lifestyle, and perform a tongue and pulse assessment. This holistic intake is the foundation of your treatment plan.
Based on your intake, Dr. Wei will design a treatment specific to your constitution and current patterns. Your first acupuncture session follows immediately. We explain every step as we go, and you're always in control of the pace.
After your first treatment, Dr. Wei will discuss a recommended care plan. Most acute conditions respond in 4 to 6 sessions; chronic conditions typically benefit from 8 to 12. We reassess regularly and adjust based on how your body responds.
Hear from patients who found relief and renewed wellbeing at Meridian.
"I came to Dr. Wei after two years of lower back pain that nothing else touched. After six sessions I was sleeping through the night without pain for the first time in years. I wish I had found her sooner."
"Dr. Wei supported me through two IVF cycles with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Her knowledge of reproductive medicine within TCM is extraordinary. I'm now 14 weeks pregnant. I genuinely credit this practice."
"I was skeptical going in, but a colleague insisted I try. Six sessions later, my anxiety is manageable, I'm sleeping better, and I feel more grounded than I have in years. Dr. Wei is exceptional at what she does."
