FAQ
Home »Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect from my first consultation and treatment?
In the consultation portion of the treatment will go over all of your health history, current condition, and any lab work that you may have. Dr. Reagan will answer any questions you may have. The treatment portion will be the last 45 minutes.
The treatment will consist of painless hair-thin needles being placed all over the head and body in different acupuncture points. The treatment is extremely relaxing due to certain chemicals that are released from the brain like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins. You will leave feeling very relaxed. A follow-up appointment is recommended for most conditions.
How many treatments will it take to get better?
Depending on your condition and whether it is acute or chronic will determine the number of treatments you will need. If you’ve had the condition for a long time, then naturally it will take more treatments. If the condition is new and acute then it will take fewer treatments. You will start to feel a difference after the first couple of treatments. Acupuncture also works very well as a preventive medicine.
Do the needles hurt?
The needles are thin hair like painless needles. There should not be any pain with the insertion of the needles. There is a “heavy” sensation that is unique to acupuncture and the acupuncture points, once the needle is inserted it catches what we call the “Qi” which is the energy flow through the body and you will feel a heavy sensation followed by euphoric feeling during the treatment.
What should I do to prepare for my first appointment?
Please bring in any lab work that you may have had done that pertains to your appointment purpose. Please show up at least 10-15 minutes before your appointment to fill out the new patient paperwork.
Do you except insurance?
We do not accept HMO plans, as we are not in-network with any insurance companies. An insurance superbly can be emailed to you after the treatment if you would like to seek reimbursement through your insurance company. *Lab testing is not covered within many benefits packages, please check on lab testing coverage when verifying benefits, (if lab testing is desired) *It is always a good idea for the patient to get verification of benefits from their insurance company as well as the provider.
Do you except HSA (Health Savings Account)?
Yes, we do except Health Savings Account cards.
Where should I buy the supplements and herbs she recommends?
Dr. Reagan has a pharmacy tab on her website that will direct you to her supplement shop. After your consultation, Dr. Reagan will make a cart for you with the suggested supplements and specific dosages for you. Once you have registered for an account in her supplement shop, then you will receive a link to access the cart that Dr. Reagan has made for you.
Where do I get my lab work done that Dr. Reagan orders?
Once you purchase your lab work from Direct Labs which is located under the “Work With Me” tab, then you will find a Lab Core or Quest Diagnostics closet to you and schedule a blood draw. You will bring in your confirmation of purchase letter to your appointment and they will draw your blood. Your lab results will be sent to you and Dr. Reagan with in 7 business days.
What Our Patients Say About Us
Reviews
I love my acupuncture/ cupping sessions here. The place is so clean, comfy, and very relaxing. Dr Reagan is the best!
I have battled lower back pain for a few years now and when I have an episode I am usually not able to workout or do much for at least a week or so. When my back does feel better, it never feels 100%. These last two weeks I have gone through my worst back episode, my leg and foot went numb from nerve pain and I was experiencing some of the worst pain I've ever had. I went to Heather and after just one session of acupuncture my pain was gone. It took a second session to get the numbness in my foot to finally go away, but I was really impressed with how quickly it worked. Heather definitely knows what she is doing and the atmosphere in her office is welcoming and relaxing. I will be going to her from now on for back pain, or any pain that I have, I am so glad that I found her!
Heather is so talented and kind. I have been struggling with back pain and her treatment with acupuncture and cupping has given me immense relief. I highly recommend her wonderful services.
You won't regret coming here! I've never had acupuncture before and didn't know what to expect.
First, Dr. Reagan is the most kindest and genuinely warm hearted medical professionals I've ever met. She's not intimidating, she listens well and with intent and concern. I just feel at ease explaining my health concerns. She's knowledgeable and has come up with solutions to my health care. She answers your questions with kindness, care and patience.
The acupuncture sessions have been rewarding and amazing each time! I leave feeling refreshed and better than before, and not just physically but mentally as well. And the mental part is the bonus!
Also, when it comes to your appointments, you're not just filling slots. Your time is never rushed and you are relevant. After weeks of looking online, she was literally one of the last two searches I made and I am so glad I waited and found her!!

I was struggling with having a healthy pregnancy and found Dr. Judy Tognetti. She talked me out of getting IVF and she helped me every step of the way to prep my body to have a healthy pregnancy. Fast forward until now, I'm carrying my lovely healthy baby boy in my arms. I'm so thankful for Dr. Judy Tognetti. Not only was she there every step of the way but she made me feel so supported throughout everything and always there for me. I truly can't thank and recommend her enough! She is so knowledgeable in all things fertility and more
This place is such a gem. I started going here a year ago for fertility support and now I am 25 weeks pregnant and still see Heather every month.
All of the women, but especially Heather, are soooo knowledgeable and empathetic. I like to tell people Heather is like my therapist and I love how she makes me feel heard and understood. I always leave feeling so relaxed. She even recommended my current OB to me after I had a few bad experiences with a couple others.
She never rushes me or makes me feel like I'm just another patient. She truly takes the time to learn your story and support you in any way she can.
I can't thank her enough for all she's done for me and my family and I feel super lucky that I've found her. Thank you, Heather!
