About Naturopathic Medicine

Come visit us in our state of the art facility!

Naturopathic medicine is primary health care that supports the self-healing process and focuses on addressing the root cause of illness. The treatment plans reflect 'whole' person healthcare, importantly honouring the mind-body connection.

What does a typical visit involve?

The initial visit is 1 hour in length and is a chance to share your medical story. This visit is designed to be an information gathering session, in which a detailed review of medical history is recorded. As necessary, a physical exam may be performed in order to enhance the medical history. Because each patient is unique, a comprehensive individualized treatment plan will be developed for each patient. Additional laboratory work and/or medical records may be necessary in order to make a solid diagnosis, so this information may be requested. The return office visits are usually 30 minutes in length and involve case discussion, pertinent physical exam and modification or addition to the original treatment plan.
