Welcome
As naturopathic physicians, we are trained in the art and
science of disease prevention, medical diagnosis and treatment
using minimally invasive natural therapies. Our focus is
to facilitate the body's own natural mechanisms for healing
using modalities such as homeopathy, cranial sacral therapy,
hydrotherapy, botanical medicine, counseling, and nutrition.
We will perform a detailed patient history, appropriate
physical exams, and order lab tests as necessary. Our
patients are of all ages and backgrounds. We spend one hour
of time getting to know them and their history at the first office
visit, and 30 - 40 minutes for follow- up visits as needed.
We strive to represent the following tenets in our practice:
- Do no harm
- Treat the whole person
- Respect the healing power of nature
- Emphasize prevention
- Doctor as teacher
