We’re working on some updates to the website, including new photos, but until that’s complete you can click HERE to see some pictures of the new location.
If you use facebook, click to “like” DCA (if you haven’t already)! We post occasional updates and specials there as well as here.
Also: don’t forget that to “break in” the new space we’re offering a 2-for-$20 special for the remainder of July: just schedule to come in with a friend, and your appointments are both only $10 each! Our phone number is the same as before: 313-831-3222, or you can schedule online here. We have been having some AT&T problems this past week (do moves ever go perfectly smoothly?) so please forgive any delay in returning calls – we do want to see you!
As many of you have heard, the clinic will be moving soon. We’ll be in the same neighborhood–almost exactly two blocks South of where we are now. The new address is 4100 Woodward, at the corner of Alexandrine, on the ground floor of the old motel there (Apartment Finders currently occupies the upper floor).
We’re really looking forward to the new space: we’ll have room for a few more recliners, and we’ll have free parking again! The landlord has been working hard on the build-outs and updates, and we anticipate being able to get in there soon to paint and decorate. We’re still looking for a few things for the new space, so give a holler if you have something on our list, or something else you think we could use. Thanks!
We’re going to be closed Friday June 25th through Thursday, July 1st, to finish up any last things and to catch our breath, and then we’ll open in the new location on July 2nd, with a Free First Friday! Then, the whole rest of July we’ll be having a “Two for $20″ special for new patients, “regulars,” and folks who haven’t been in in awhile (just schedule with a friend and pay only $20 for both of your treatments). So spread the word and help us put some good healing energy in the new space! And thank you *so much* to everyone who has supported us in getting this far.
Join us tomorrow from 10:00 to 4:00 for treatments celebrating May Day! We have a few spots left – call to reserve a spot or take your chances and drop by!
Don’t forget, we also have our “Free First Friday” promotion for new patients next Friday, May 7th; we still have a few openings for that day as well. And watch this space for details about our May Smoking Cessation promotion – we’ll post about that on Monday.
Starting this Friday, April 2nd, we’re hopping on our Ferndale colleagues’ bandwagon and offering FREE treatments for patients who are new to our clinic on the First Friday of every month. Starting tomorrow! Spaces are filling up pretty fast so call to schedule, or you can schedule yourself here.
Morning people, rejoice! Starting this coming week, DCA will be open Tuesday and Friday mornings, from 10:00 to 1:00. The acupuncturist on duty will be Jalyn Spencer, who has filled in in the past (and who some of you have met at the front desk on Mondays).
The online scheduling system is now set up so that you can schedule with Nora or Jalyn or either (depending on when you want to come in); or, as always, feel free to call to schedule or find out more.
The clinic will pretty much always be open if we can. If we have to have a “snow day” or close for some other emergency, we’ll try to post it here and on our Facebook page (the exception being an internet-interrupting emergency).
That said, we know a snowstorm can make it hard for patients to get here. Please give us a call to reschedule as soon as you know you can’t make it. (You can also reschedule online, if you’re already in the system – which you’ll know because you’ll have received confirmation emails.) If you can make your appointment, no need to call; we’ll just look forward to seeing you…and it’s nice and cozy in here!
There have been lots of little things going on behind the scenes here at DCA headquarters, including re-creating some files that were lost when a computer died; among other things this means we’ve changed to a new and more user-friendly online scheduling system. I’m sending out directions to all patients for whom I have a functioning email; if you don’t get it, email or call the clinic at 313-831-3222. Or, feel free to use the “Schedule” link to the left, click on the yellow button, and try it out!
We’re also changing and slightly expanding our open hours, starting Monday, February 15th. Our new hours will be Monday, Tuesday, THURSDAY and Friday from 2:00 to 7:00 (last appointment at 6:00), and SATURDAY we’ll be open from NOON till 4:00 (last appointment at 3:00). Nora will no longer be working on Wednesdays, but starting in March, Jalyn Spencer WILL be treating patients on Wednesdays. We’ll post an announcement with more details soon. The clinic will continue to be closed on Sundays (for the time being). Of course, our long-term goal is to continue to expand, and to be open more hours for your convenience.
To get you all used to the new schedule, and because it’s Valentine’s day on Sunday and we love our patients, AND because the Chinese (Lunar) New Year starts on Sunday, we’re having a 2-for-1 special for the last two weeks in February. Start the Lunar New Year off right, by sharing the love! Call the clinic to schedule, or use the new online scheduling system. As usual, this special is for both new and returning patients.
One more thing: unfortunately, because so many people from the surrounding neighborhood have been using the parking lot attached to the building, the building owners have decided to put a gate on the lot, and our patients will no longer be able to use it. Please know that we are as unhappy about it as you are, and we are busy trying to figure out alternative solutions. Your patience and loyalty in the meantime is greatly appreciated, and we’ll try to keep some quarters on hand for meter-feeding.
Happy New Year of the Tiger! – that’s *got* to be a better one for Detroit, right?
The clinic will be closed this Friday & Saturday, December 25th & 26th, and the following Friday & Saturday, January 1st and 2nd. That means we will ONLY be open Monday through Wednesday the next two weeks (as we’ll be closed Thursdays and Sundays as usual). So make sure to schedule your treatments in, and if we don’t see you till January, have safe, happy, healthy holidays!
Beloved patients and friends of the clinic, we will have been in business one year this upcoming Saturday! Please join us in celebrating this landmark in any or all of the following ways:
NOEL NIGHT PARTY
We opened last year on Noel Night – this year, it’s December 5th. From 5:00 to 8:00, we’ll have snacks and chatting in the reception area, and free 20-minute “sample” treatments in the community treatment room, open to anyone.
And yes, we do have gift certificates!
MIRIAM LEE’S BIRTHDAY
Miriam Lee, one of DCA’s heroes, was born on December 9th (she just passed away this past summer). We’re celebrating her birthday this coming Wednesday (the 9th) with free treatments for new patients! Call 832-3222 to schedule.
SATURDAYS – FIRST VISIT $1
Every Saturday in December (except the 26th), new patients can celebrate our one year anniversary by paying $1 for their first visit! Again, call 831-3222 to schedule.
NOODLES POTLUCK!
On Saturday, 12/19, from 5:00 to 7:00, we’re having a holiday potluck. Bring your favorite noodle-based dish, sweet or savory, because “noodles taste better when you eat them together.” (Bring your recipe, and I’ll post it on the website!)
And all month, any purchase of Acupuncture is Like Noodles comes with a gift certificate to give to a new patient. Perfect for that hard-to-shop-for person on your holiday gift list!
