Welcome to GenWell Acupuncture!

We are excited to have you join our practice! PLEASE TAKE NOTE: we are a small practice, EVERYTHING is done electronically! Our practice management software, Jane, allows patients to make, change, and/or cancel appointments as well as check on billing associated with treatments. Any changes to your scheduled acupuncture appointments will be sent to you via email, you may also access your entire GenWell account through your Jane patient portal.

Acupuncture treatments are performed at GenWell Acupuncture in a private practice setting. Treatments conducted at this facility are either billed to insurance or as self-pay according to the following fees: $175 initial (new patient) treatment, or $125 follow-up (existing patient) treatment. During your first, New Patient appointment (90 minutes), we will perform a health history review, discuss the process of acupuncture in its entirety, and conclude with an acupuncture treatment. All subsequent Follow-up treatments will involve a brief review of your main complaint followed by an acupuncture treatment (60 minutes). Wear loose clothing and bring water!

We currently have in-network status with NYSHIP, United Health Care (UHC), Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), and Aetna (Chris Booth in-network). We're also able to submit to other insurance companies (GHI, Cigna, etc.) when out-of-network benefits are enabled. Please email (tara@genwellacupuncture.com) a photo of the front and back of your insurance card, include your full name, date of birth, and what it is you'd like to have treated then we can verify the details of your insurance benefits.

We work hard to provide each patient with effective acupuncture in a safe and comfortable environment, but we're not perfect! Please email concerns and/or inquires to tara@genwellacupuncture.com. We are capable, and more than willing, to do better!

Dr. Tara Almquist DAIM, L.Ac.

Acupuncture is Tara’s second career. Her first career, rooted in corporate culture, became unsustainable when Tara recognized and accepted a deep yearning to be of service. She began studying acupuncture at Pacific College of Health and Science in 2008 and has continued to pursue and develop her craft at prestigious institutions such as McMaster’s University in Hamilton, Ontario where she studied contemporary medical acupuncture under Dr. Alejandro Elorriaga Claraco MD, renowned sports medicine specialist.

Most recently, Tara obtained her doctoral degree in integrative medicine from New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), the nation’s first professional school for the field of acupuncture.

Tara specializes in treating musculoskeletal pain, nerve pain, neuropathies, and a host of other health issues including but not limited to headaches, migraines, GI problems, menopausal symptoms, sleep issues, alopecia, stress, depression, and anxiety.

In 2014 Tara opened GenWell Acupuncture in hopes of helping people realize a better reality, an improved quality of life. Her wellness philosophy draws from her long history in personal growth and development, a lifelong pursuit to understanding the body, mind, and spirit. Yoga, Pilates, meditation, and rigorous study all contribute to her ability to provide patients with realistic lifestyle direction and results driven acupuncture treatments.

She firmly believes acupuncture should be an accessible therapy for all people and strives to realize a healthcare system where acupuncture serves as the foundation of a whole-body approach to optimal health.

Your acupuncture experience is in exceptional hands with Dr. Tara G. Almquist.
