Before Your First Visit
Prior to your scheduled visit we ask you to complete an online intake form through our secure patient portal, CHARM Electronic Health Records. The questionnaire is comprehensive because we want to develop a thorough understanding of your medical conditions and history. Please allow yourself at least one hour to complete the intake form to provide the doctor with this important information. Also, please note that the form should be submitted to us within 2 weeks from the time that you schedule your initial office visit. Dr. Taketa-Wong believes every patient deserves the highest quality holistic care, and this initial form allows her to be fully prepared for your first visit. It is also helpful to bring copies of your past lab work or imaging to your initial visit for Dr. Taketa-Wong to review.
Your Initial Office Visit
Please allot 1.5 - 2 hours for your new patient visit with Dr. Taketa-Wong. During your initial office visit, the doctor will talk with you about the symptoms that concern you the most, as well as your health goals and how we can work in partnership to achieve them. She will also do a physical exam, order necessary laboratory testing, and recommend dietary guidelines, acupuncture, medicines or supplements.
Please remember to bring with you:

Follow-Up Visits
Fees and Insurance:
Some insurance companies in Hawaii may reimburse for a portion of the visit cost for naturopathic services, acupuncture, or massage. We provide the forms to submit for insurance reimbursement upon request. In addition, Dr. Taketa-Wong will automatically submit forms for HMSA PPO and other insurance PPO plans for you. Also, we offer a variety of our own Partnership For Health treatment plans that reduce patient costs as well as in-house payment plans. All costs at our office including office visits, supplements, and labs not covered by insurance qualify for Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account funds.
