It is the naturopathic physician’s role to identify and remove barriers to good health by helping to create a healing internal and external environment.

What can you expect if you book an appointment?
Your first appointment with a Naturopath will last at least 1 hour, as your Doctor will require sufficient time to understand your health history, diet, stress levels, habits and issues. This information is vital to help your doctor understand the cause of your ailments and help them put together a plan to help treat you. Our Naturopathic Doctors will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that may involve follow up appointment and potentially coordinating care through other healthcare practitioners
