Naturopathic doctors (NDs) use safe, effective, evidence-based natural medicine to help people. Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of health care that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.
Many people seek the care of an ND when they are looking for options in their healthcare beyond conventional drugs and surgery.
Naturopathic doctors focus on treating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — address the root cause of illness, not just symptoms, and teach their patients how to prevent further disease through healthy living.

People seek this care when they are looking for a safe, effective approach that offers more than drugs and surgery. NDs understand disease and treatment in the same way MDs do, but they use different tools and a different philosophy to treat the root cause of the issue and stimulate the body’s ability to heal.
If you are curious about if this approach is right for you, have a FREE 10 minute consult with one of our NDs and they can help answer your questions.
Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for a wide range of conditions including digestive issues, fatigue, chronic pain, auto-immune disease, chronic infections, and hormonal issues including thyroid, menstrual disorders, and menopause.

Licensed naturopathic doctors attend accredited four-year medical schools, completing rigorous training in biomedical sciences, clinical diagnosis, and natural therapeutics. Their education includes courses in nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, counseling, and lifestyle management.

NDs and MDs use the same methods to diagnose disease, however, they differ in their approach to treatment and philosophy. Conventional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms, primarily through pharmaceuticals or surgery. Naturopathic medicine emphasizes prevention, lifestyle, and natural therapies to restore the body’s self-healing ability. Both approaches can complement one another for optimal care.

Your first visit usually lasts 60–90 minutes. Your naturopathic doctor will take a detailed health history, perform physical exam, discuss your lifestyle, diet, and stress levels, and may order lab tests. Together, you’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals and needs.
