New patients

Your first visit, without the guesswork.

You do not need to prepare a perfect explanation or understand Chinese medicine before you arrive. Bring the information you have, wear something comfortable, and expect a conversation before treatment begins.

Waiting room at Mystic Mountain Healthcare in Raton
  1. Before the visit

    A few simple preparations

    Eat normally unless you are given different instructions. Wear comfortable clothing when possible. Bring a current medication list when relevant and any useful records you already have.

  2. Conversation & assessment

    We begin with the whole picture

    Caleb will ask about your main concern and may also ask about sleep, digestion, energy, temperature, stress, and other body systems. These questions help identify broader patterns rather than focusing on one symptom in isolation.

  3. Treatment

    A plan tailored to that day

    Treatment may include acupuncture and, when appropriate, electroacupuncture, cupping, or gua sha. The plan is explained before treatment. You can ask questions or request an adjustment at any time.

  4. After the visit

    Notice, reassess, adjust

    Responses vary. Some people notice changes quickly; others respond gradually. Treatment frequency, follow-up, and any aftercare guidance are individualized rather than assigned by a generic schedule.

Helpful to bring

Enough information to have a useful conversation.

Medication list

Include prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements when relevant.

Relevant records

Bring useful reports or imaging summaries you already have. Do not send private records through ordinary email.

Your questions

Write them down if that helps. It is reasonable to ask what is being recommended and why.

Appointment timing: Most treatment visits are planned around a 45-minute clinical session. First visits may take longer depending on the history and treatment. Confirm the time reserved for you when scheduling.
