A Naturopathic Doctor (ND), is a doctor that receives post-graduate training at an accredited university to practice naturopathic medicine. An ND is similar to an MD or a DO in that we attend a 4-year medical school and receive training in the basic and clinical sciences and are licensed and regulated by the state we practice in.

What makes us different is that Naturopathic Doctors look at the body and its systems holistically. We understand the ways in which all the body’s systems influence each other and we work with the whole person. In order to use the most natural and effective treatments possible, we receive training in a number of different modalities such as herbal medicine, nutrition, IV therapy, lifestyle counseling, mind-body medicine, homeopathy, and physical medicine. We are able to use certain pharmaceuticals if it suits the individual needs of the patient.
