…And just like your regular physician, you may see a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) when you need a check-up, have an illness, or a question about your health. As with all primary care doctors, a Naturopathic Doctor can provide physical exams, order lab and diagnostic tests and refer you to physician specialists when necessary.

ND’s are trained to assess the function of physiological processes, discover the root cause of imbalances and restore the communication between all systems. This may require focus on cellular processes or organ function at sites that seem far removed from your area of discomfort and at levels that may be unusual from a conventional point of view.

As your Naturopathic Doctor, I serve as an addition to your team of healthcare providers, offering expertise in the areas of human biochemistry and physiology and the effects of natural substances on these. My approach investigates underlying nutritional, lifestyle, environmental, genetic and psychosocial factors that contribute to your health and, like a medical detective, I seek the root cause behind the expression of illness.
