Here the classical lens leads: differential pattern diagnosis decides the treatment, with the Western picture as context.

A video visit can cover your history, changes since your last visit, medications, food, sleep and daily habits. It cannot replace an examination, needling or urgent care, which stay in person or with your physician.

Much of pattern diagnosis comes from history and observation, so a careful conversation and a look at the tongue on camera can guide a formula review. The pulse is read in person, so some decisions wait for a clinic visit.
Booked online like any visit and priced like a clinic visit, because it uses the same clinician time. For ongoing herbal support, the Rootworth online herbal system is the more efficient route.
A telemedicine visit is a video appointment with Michael. It suits a follow-up when you cannot get to either clinic, a review of your herbal formula, or a conversation about food, sleep and daily rhythm. We go through your history and what has changed, look at your tongue on camera where we can, and adjust the plan. Needling, including M48 micro acupuncture, needs a visit in person.
Telemedicine visits are by appointment and booked online, like every other visit.
