I'm going to be completely honest: I do not like gift certificates, and I no longer offer them. Over the years, I have found that gift certificates often create more problems than they solve. While they may seem like a simple and thoughtful gift, many go unused, get misplaced, or sit for months or even years before someone finally tries to schedule an appointment.

Over the years, I’ve had to carefully manage my schedule and the number of hours I work due to health reasons. I want to be transparent about this because it’s important for my clients to understand how I operate. I am always willing to help clients who need pain management, and I often make accommodations for long-term, regular clients to come in on my days off or during holidays. When I offer a special date or time, it is an act of consideration and care.
