What is a Naturopathic Doctor?

Much can be understood about what a Naturopathic Doctor is can be understood by reading the Naturopathic Philosophy page. Because naturopathic doctors do not specialize in the same way as other doctors, we are Dermatologists, Ear-Nose-Throat specialists, Endocrinoligists, Gastroenterologists, General Practitioners, Gynecologists, Neurologists, Pediatricians, Psychiatrists, Counselors, and many others all in our own way treating the whole patient instead of one area of the body.

As a naturopathic doctor, my specialty is correcting why you have the symptoms and/or disease you have and not only suppressing the symptoms or even treating the disease. Naturopathic doctors do not specialize in areas of the body like MD's because we treat the whole body. Every disease or condition of one part or system of the body is related to another. For example, skin is related to the liver, allergies to the digestive system, infections related to your immune and digestive systems, and cancer is related to many systems of the body, just to name a few. Therefore, if one only treats the place or system of the body where the disease is showing up, the disease process will not stop progressing by only using suppressive methods.

My purpose for you is to teach you how to heal your body from the inside out. To teach you how to get out of your body's own way to health and healing. All my treatments are based in my philosophy that the body has the ability to heal itself by removing any and all obstacles your body may have to heal. I use many evidence based treatments as well as traditional. Click on the modalities page to read the different methods I will use for you.

Sometimes we need to look at things from outside the box and take another approach. I can provide a completely different and sometimes opposite point of view of treatment.
