Naturopathic Medicine is a system of care that combines evidence-based assessment of your health concerns with holistic/natural approaches to treatment.
Naturopathic Doctors complete a 4-year undergraduate degree followed by a 4-year Naturopathic medicine program.
In your first 90-minute appointment, your Naturopathic Doctor will complete a comprehensive assessment of your overall health including specific health concerns as well as a full body and lifestyle assessment. Naturopathic doctors can do physical examinations (including pap exams) and order lab work. We will use lifestyle changes, dietary support, and vitamins/supplements/herbs to address your health concerns.
Our goal is to treat the whole person, not just a singular symptom or disease. We will seek to find and address the root cause of your concerns.
