When to Think of Valencie

The referral trigger is simple: your patient has received appropriate conventional evaluation or treatment and still has symptoms, or wants an additional conservative approach that can complement the existing plan of care.

How We Work Together

A referral relationship that closes the loop. My goal is to be easy to refer to and easy to collaborate with. With the patient's authorization and when clinically appropriate, I communicate concise updates so the referring clinician knows the patient was seen, the general focus of adjunctive care, and whether further evaluation or coordination is indicated.

1. You refer. Send a patient who fits one of the clinical referral triggers.
2. I evaluate. I perform an acupuncture and Chinese medicine assessment and determine whether the case is appropriate for my scope.
3. We treat appropriately. The patient receives an individualized plan built around their presentation.
4. I refer back when needed. New red flags, diagnostic questions, medication issues, or needs outside my scope go back to the appropriate clinician.
5. The patient stays at the center. The objective is coordinated care, with each discipline doing what it does best.

A Note on Mutual Referral

I value a strong local care network. I also encounter patients who need physical therapy, psychotherapy, primary care, gynecologic care, orthopedic evaluation, imaging, or other specialty services. I want to know the clinicians I can confidently send them to. If you'd like to be on that list, I look forward to hearing from you so that we may connect.

Thank you for trusting me with your patients.
