If you've ever left a doctor's office more confused or frustrated than when you arrived, this type of medicine is for you. If you've been told "your labs look fine" but you still don't feel well. If you've been handed a prescription without a real conversation, this is for you. You deserve care that sees the whole picture, and witnesses your struggles. That's what we do, every single day.

We keep seeing patients who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or just never given the time to tell their full story. That changes here. Every first visit is 60 minutes. Every treatment plan is yours alone. We are contracted with most major health insurance plans, ready to help you find better health.

Most people don't fully understand what naturopathic medicine is — and that's okay. We're licensed physicians. We went to 4-year medical schools. We can diagnose, order labs, and prescribe medications. AND we're also trained herbalists who understand nutrition, biochemistry, genetics and plant medicine at a deep level. We use all of it, whatever your body actually needs. No single protocol. Not just medication. We specialize in personalized, evidence-informed care.

To my supporters of naturopathic medicine! — We NEED Your Voice!

Right now, the U.S. Department of Education is proposing a rule that would take naturopathic medical degrees off the federal “professional degree” list — which means future ND students could be limited to as little as $100,000 total in federal student loans, instead of the much higher limits currently available for professional healthcare degrees. This change would make it far harder for aspiring naturopathic doctors to afford school and could dramatically reduce the number of NDs entering the workforce — at a time when preventive, whole-person care is more needed than ever. 

If naturopathic medicine isn’t protected under this classification:

• Students will face costly private loans with fewer protections. 

• Healthcare workforce shortages (especially in primary care & rural areas) will worsen. 

• The future pipeline of licensed naturopathic doctors will shrink when we need them most. 

Please take 2 minutes to visit the Legislative Action Center and send a message asking your representatives to keep ND degrees on the professional list so students can continue to access the financial aid they need:
