Let's Chat

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

My medical practice is data-driven and based on an extensive initial patient investigation, followed by structured root cause intervention.

In naturopathic medicine we first try gentle natural therapies (like herbs, dietary changes, exercise), which in my experience yield tremendous results. When required, more aggressive therapies may be considered, such as bioidentical hormones, IV therapies, and then if needed we are fortunate to have pharmaceutical and surgical options available.

The goal is for patients to feel better. The closer we can get to the root cause of disease, the gentler the interventions can be, and the more likely we are to truly achieve a CURE.

When to see a Naturopathic Doctor?

 

When you want to finally feel better.

When you need clarity and answers.

When you need a teammate, a researcher, a compassionate ear.

When you need a champion for your cause.

Are you on the fence about booking an appointment? No problem, let's chat!

You can book a short 10-15 minute PHONE consult called an "Exploratory Session" to see if we're a good fit. The session will allow you to get a better sense of my style of practice and I will be able to tell you if your health concerns are something that I can help with!
