Discover the benefits that await for all from an M.D. passionate about helping you live your best life.
Meet Dr. Schmalz
As an anesthesiologist, Dr. Juliet Schmalz saw the power of acupuncture treating nausea in the O.R. and thought, “why aren’t we doing this for everyone?” Today she combines her deep knowledge of the body and physician’s-level study of acupuncture to offer its extensive benefits as a compliment to Western Medicine.
The M.D.’s Approach
Using acupuncture with your existing health plans to fill the gaps and be proactive about your health.
Integrative Medicine
Sessions are highly interactive, hands on and healing, using the energetics model to tailor to your needs.
Her Philosophy
“I saw the gaps in today’s medical processes first hand and wanted to be part of the solution. We wait until there are issues to medicate, which even when treated, may not leave you as well as you could be. There is a lot we can do, like acupuncture, to empower ourselves to live healthier and longer and feel better on a day to day basis.”

What You Might be Wondering…
Acupuncture is a powerful, yet vastly under-utilized subset of medicine. The percentage of people who get at least some benefit is extremely high. Here are some frequently asked questions:
Does acupuncture hurt?
Ultimately, you should be relaxed and comfortable when the needles are in without any pain. Needles are very thin, so most experience minimal discomfort when they are placed and some don’t feel them at all.
How many treatments do I need?
Approaches are tailored specifically for you based on how your body resopnds, but typically a minimum of 4-6 treatments is recommended. Then the goal, even for long-term issues, is to decrease frequency needed.
What effects should I expect?
The hope is you’ll feel initial effects within 24 – 72 hours – or else, we need to change the approach. These are typically felt for several days and again the aim is to get benefits to last longer within a treatment plan.
Do you take insurance?
No, at this time we do not process or accept insurance. Payments are due in full at your appointment. We can however help with details for you to submit your own insurance reimbursement requests.
