Acupuncture and Chinese herbs

Sliding Scale Options
Please Note! We're changing our sliding scale model! The Saturday morning clinic will continue through September 20th. Then, beginning the week of October 14th, sliding scale appointments will be incorporated into Gryphon's regular schedule, open to any five people per week on a first-come-first-served basis. Rather than scheduling yourself online, you'll contact us to be scheduled. Suggested rates remain the same. See below also for other affordable acupuncture options.
____________________________
​
We recognise that the cost of regular acupuncture visits is prohibitive for some and we don't want that to keep anyone from being able to access treatment. On Saturday mornings, you can come see Gryphon on a pay-what-you-can basis. Our sliding scale suggestion is $40-$100 for intake visits and $20-$80 for return visits, but no one will be turned away for inability to pay. Payment must be cash or check.
​
All visits are 1 hour. New patient intake visits include up to 40 minutes with the practitioner, returning patient visits include up to 20 minutes with the practitioner. The rest of the time is spent in relaxation with the needles!
If you previously saw Gryphon at Common Ground, you do not need to schedule a new patient visit.
