All treatments after the initial evaluation are scheduled directly with your therapist for maximum convenience. As for massage therapy, there is no MD script necessary. This is a private pay service ($60.00 / hour) that does not involve your insurance carrier. In order to set up an appointment convenient to you, please contact our receptionist at 773-5541 or you can all either of the massage therapists directly (Jamie Page at 774-2197 or Roberta Thomas at 752-8935).I read about ‘one on one attention’.
