What to Expect
When you have a consultation with our specialist, you will be asked about your health and medical history. You will have the opportunity to explain your health issues, and you may require certain laboratory tests in order to get an accurate diagnosis. We are fully up-to-date on the latest scientific research on illnesses and health conditions and incorporate this into our treatments.
With naturopathic medicine, our goal is to treat the whole person. This includes the body, mind and spirit. We don’t simply treat the symptoms but look for underlying causes.
