        Office Operation and Procedure

        Hours of Operation:

        Aesthetics Medical Spa and Integrative Medicine is open Mondays, Wednesdays-Thursdays 8:30am-5:00pm and Fridays 8:30am-12pm(Noon) Tuesdays by appointment. If you’d like to reach us after hours, please call or text us at (828) 697-1592 and leave a message on our confidential voicemail. We will get back to you within 24 hours after our office reopens.

        Emergencies:

        • Aesthetics Medical Spa and Integrative Medicine’s Practitioner does not provide primary care or emergency services and does not provide services outside of regular office hours.
        • Aesthetics Medical Spa and Integrative Medicine clients are expected to maintain access to a primary care physician for ongoing care.
        • Patients are seen by appointment only and may be unable to see you on a walk-in basis.
        • We advise you to go to your local urgent care center or emergency room, or call 911, for any medical emergencies.

        Medical Patients:

        • We ask that all medical patients log into Power2Patient prior to your visit (See the link  on the home page of our website: www.aestheticsmedicalspa.com) and fill out the reason for your visit, your current and past medical history, symptoms, family history, active medications, and supplements.
        • Medical visits will be scheduled weekdays Monday-Thursday during our standard operating hours.

        Prescription Refills:

        • Prescriptions will be called in within 24 hours of your request.
        • Requests for medication refills will only be granted to current patients that have been seen in the office and have had labs drawn within 6 months of the request.
        • Bi-annual office visits are required for continued care at Aesthetics Medical Spa.

        Appointments for IV:

        • Aesthetics Medical Spa and Integrative Medicine’s Practitioner may approve (on an individual basis) phone appointments for some follow-up visits.
        • Phone appointments are billed at the same rate as in-office appointments.
        • Simple questions between office visits are most efficiently handled by staff via telephone or email. If you have a complex or urgent health issue, please set an in-office appointment so that all of your concerns can be addressed.

        • Calls will be returned in 24-48 hours.

        Other Considerations

        Childcare:

        • We kindly ask that you arrange off-premises childcare for all children under the age of 12.
        • Children over the age of 12 are permitted in the office, provided they can maintain a quiet activity for the duration of your appointment.

        Smoking:

        Aesthetics Medical Spa and Integrative Medicine is a smoke-free, e-cigarette-free, and tobacco-free facility.

        Dogs, cats or pets:

        As much as we love fur-babies (which is a lot!), please refrain from bringing them to the spa at any time. Thank you for your understanding!

        Cell Phones:

        To preserve the serenity of our environment, please turn off or silence cell phones upon arrival and for the duration of your visit. If you must keep your phone on for necessary calls or for potential emergencies, please lower the ring volume or place your phone on vibrate and be discreet and courteous by keeping calls as short as possible.

        Weather Conditions and Travel Considerations:

        • Because we are located in the mountains of western North Carolina, we occasionally have winter-weather advisories that make travel difficult. As such, the office may close on short notice. In this event, we will happily reschedule your appointment when the office reopens.
        • If the possibility of inclement weather is present, please call the office in advance of your appointment and before traveling to assure we are open.
        • Schedule changes due to weather will be announced on our answering machine by 8am.
