Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. Naturopathic medicine is preventative medicine that offers many treatment options for long term conditions.

Our Naturopathic physicians use a combination of lifestyle changes, targeted diet changes, therapeutic supplementation, prescription medication, manual therapies and focused lab work to guide treatment.

Your journey to heath starts with an hour long initial visit where we do a whole health assessment, non-invasive physical exam and review of any documentation and medication you are able to bring in. We are able to go far deeper than a typical 10 minute doctor’s appointment. This allows us to construct a comprehensive treatment plan that fits with your day to day life.

Let us work with you to create a plan that’s more than just a prescription. We can combine lifestyle changes with evidence informed natural therapies to enhance results.
