Please Read Before Making an Appointment
-
We require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. The fee for a missed or late cancelled appointment is $30. Fees for cancellations related to illness will be waived.
-
We accept cash (please note that we cannot provide change), checks made out to HSQCA, and credit cards (including HSA cards and contactless payment methods). We strongly encourage you to set up an account when you schedule your first appointment. It will make scheduling faster for you, and it will help us to keep more accurate records of your visits and treatments. Your information will be used solely for our communication with you; it will not be shared with any third party.
-
Appointments can be scheduled on the same day, and any available time slots will be displayed for your selection. You may book an appointment up to 30 days in advance.
-
Walk-ins are available at the discretion of the acupuncturist. If you need assistance, please email us at contact.hsqca@gmail.com. Our phone number is 617-868-5678; however, we are not always available to respond to calls or texts.
-
Wear LOOSE, comfortable clothing. It is helpful to bring shorts or a skirt. Please, no Cologne or scents- we have many sensitive patients. If we remind you of this, it is not meant to be personal.
-
Masks are optional for patients and staff. Masks are available for your use, and we will continue to operate our high-capacity air filters. Patients and staff are expected to wear masks if they are actively coughing or sneezing. We also expect staff and patients to stay home if they have a fever. We will never charge you for a cancellation due to an illness-related appointment. For all other circumstances, our 24-hour cancellation policy applies.
-
If driving, allow time to find parking; meters are in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. If taking the Red Line, we are about a 5-minute walk from the Harvard Square T station, down Massachusetts Avenue, just past the corner of Bow Street. The #1 bus stops across the street.
All patients, please be on time for your appointment.
We try our best to accommodate late arrivals. If you are more than 10 minutes late, we may be unable to treat you, and a $30 missed visit fee will apply. We prefer to let you rest for as long as you like, though 30-60 minutes is typical. Occasionally, we may need to wake you to maintain the clinic's workflow.
New patients: allow 90 minutes for your first treatment, and please ARRIVE 10 MINUTES EARLY. You are considered a NEW PATIENT if it is your first time here or if it is more than TWO YEARS since your last appointment.
We have table warmers. If you want to be covered, please bring a light blanket or scarf with you.
The last acupuncture appointment of the day begins one hour before the end of the shift.
