Naturopathic Medicine integrates global healing traditions with cutting-edge research.  A Naturopathic Physician is trained to find the CAUSE of a person’s symptoms rather than simply suppressing them.

   Naturopathic physicians are trained in basic medical sciences, accurate diagnostic skills and the ability to apply the natural and minimally invasive methods. The scope of practice of naturopaths includes all aspects of family and primary care and all natural medicine modalities.

   In order to do this, a Naturopathic Physician will typically spend about an hour with you on your first office visit in order to get a comprehensive picture of the patient, the symptoms, and the physical, emotional and/or spiritual contributing factors.

   Lab work you have from a previous doctor’s office is always welcome and helpful in determining what may been explored.  In addition this will give the Naturopathic Physician an idea of what other things may need to be looked at.

   Once all information is obtained, an individualized treatment plan, which may include lifestyle, nutritional and/or botanical recommendations, is designed for the patient in order to help them achieve their health goals.

   Although many Naturopathic Physicians are preferred providers for insurance plans, coverage for alternative care varies from plan to plan. To check your coverage and benefits, please contact your insurance plan and ask about naturopathic coverage.
