Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct profession of physicians trained in primary health care who are oriented towards prevention, education, and promotion of optimal health rather than just treatment of disease.  Naturopathic doctors (ND's) integrate centuries-old knowledge of traditional, non-toxic therapies with the best of modern medical diagnostic science and standards of care.  ND's complete pre-med education followed by a 4-5 year residential curriculum with 4,500 - 5,000 hours of instruction and extensive, supervised clinical training.  ND's must also pass rigorous state and national board examinations.

​

Our foundation and guidance as Naturopathic physicians are based on the following principles:

• First, Do no harm

• Prevention

• The Healing Power of Nature

• Treatment of the Whole Person

• Treat the Cause

• Doctor as Teacher
