Thank you for your booking with Dr Andrew Jan’s medical acupuncture practice. Just so you’re aware, we recommend that you see your GP or specialist before your appointment if you haven’t already done so. This helps ensure any necessary investigations or medical treatments are in place.
We also prefer to have a written referral or phone call if possible so that Dr Jan can communicate with your treating doctor and work together as a team for your care. If you have any questions about referrals or how to arrange one, please let us know.

Prof. Jan’s Mission Statement
- To both help and be dedicated to patients with their pain management.
- To utilise the range of standard evidence-based therapies (from pharmacological to procedural interventions) that both benefit and have reduced harm in the short and long term.
- To mitigate harm by minimising opioid usage and high-risk procedures.
- To incorporate evidence-informed non-pharmacological approaches where appropriate, including acupuncture, exercise, meditation, Tai Chi, dietary modification, and other self-management strategies that may assist health, wellbeing, and symptom management.
- To ensure that severe or treatable conditions are not missed and to utilise in collaboration with your usual GP investigations and imaging as needed.
- To empower patients with practical self-care skills that complement, rather than replace, appropriate medical assessment and treatment.
