NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

WHAT IS A NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR?

Naturopathic Doctors are primary care providers. They work with patients towards the resolution of acute and chronic illnesses; paying particular attention to the root cause of the illness and the prevention of future disease.

Your Natural Choice Medical Clinic Naturopathic Doctor will strive to work with your medical doctor and other health practitioners, as part of your integrative healthcare team.

Naturopathic medicine is a system of primary health care that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional, natural forms of medicine.
