How Dr. Jin's Online Consultation Works at Ace Acupuncture
Updated
Dr. Guanyuan Jin at Ace Acupuncture (Milwaukee, WI) offers a paid online consultation: you request a personalized 45-minute one-to-one session through the online request form or by email, pay $100, and complete an in-take health history form plus a tongue photo before the appointment. During the session Dr. Jin answers your questions and performs a holistic TCM diagnosis over the internet; afterward he may prescribe customized herbal formulas with health instructions. This option suits people who want Chinese-medicine guidance but cannot visit the clinic in person — it is a consultation and diagnosis service, not a substitute for emergency or in-person medical care.
Step by step
- Send a request. Use the online request form on the site or email [email protected] to ask for a personalized 45-minute one-to-one consultation. Expect to arrange a time and pay the $100 fee as part of scheduling.
- Prepare your intake materials. Complete the in-take health history form and take a photo of your tongue. Both must be sent back to Dr. Jin before the consultation — the tongue and pulse-style diagnosis depends on them.
- Attend the 45-minute session. Dr. Jin answers your questions and performs a holistic TCM diagnosis via the internet.
- Receive follow-up guidance. After diagnosis, he may prescribe customized herbal prescriptions along with health instructions. The site notes that if the patient is deemed to need further care, additional steps apply — ask about this during scheduling.
