New patient initial consultation at Starting Point Acupuncture

What to expect at your consultation appointment


Visiting a new doctor for the first time can be nerve-wracking. To ease anxiety and stress, we make it simple to get started on the path to healing.

At Starting Point Acupuncture & Wellness, we offer consultation appointments to…

  • Meet Dr. Ellie Heintze, ND, LAc, one-on-one
  • Ensure you feel comfortable in the clinic space
  • Discuss your condition(s) and review your medical history

Discuss a customized holistic treatment plan, which may include…

Before the end of your consultation, Dr. Heintze will provide her best recommendations for your specific case based on your health goals, health history, and desired outcome. Our office will provide a written summary of recommendations “Good Faith Estimate” for your care.

Consultations generally take less than 20 minutes. You’ll be asked at the conclusion of the consultation if you would like to start the treatment plan right away. You also have the option to schedule your first treatment at a later date.

​To schedule a consultation, contact the clinic at (425) 686-4498.
