Tips on hotel and airline rates It is a good idea to check hotel rates before booking your flight. Tucson hotel and resort rates vary greatly depending on the time of year. Generally our high season is from November thru March and you’ll find the least expensive rates in the heat of the summer, June thru September. If you would like more information on Tucson you can go to visittucson.org which is the website hosted by the Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. All of the resorts and hotels that we’ve suggested are convenient to the clinic. You can call Robin for approximate driving times or calculate using Mapquest or a similar service. Again, because we are a popular tourism destination, driving times will vary by season.
Treatments
Keep in mind that your treatment will include two hours each day broken up into one hour sessions with one hour in between sessions. The clinic is located within walking distance of many restaurants and shops if you would like to leave for an hour and then return for your second hour of treatment. Other than that, your time is your own, but we’re happy to offer suggestions on various activities to enhance your visit. Once you book your appointments with Robin, we will send you a packet with all of the information you need to start the treatment process. We hope you’ll be visiting us soon!
