You see a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) for the same reasons you see general, family doctor.

The difference lies in the approach.

First of all, ND’s generally spend more time with their patients – AT LEAST one hour the first time we meet.

We review your entire medical history including your chief concern(s), injuries, surgeries, illnesses, energy, sleep, stress, dietary habits, bowel patterns, stress, and environmental concerns.

This is WHOLE PERSON MEDICINE.

We then collect more data. I’ll do a relevant physical exam, and order blood or other lab tests.

Then we discuss the factors behind why you may be sick, and lay out a treatment plan.

Follow Up

We ND’s like to track our patients’ progress over time, so we often have patients return every month or so at the beginning

At every meeting we see what has changed (I especially like it when things have changed for the better) and see what we need to switch up or focus on to get the results we're looking for.

My treatments typically include stress reduction, diet modification, herb and nutrient supplementation, acupuncture, mind-body healing, unconscious reprogramming.
