What to Expect in TreatmentMost new patients will receive diagnostic evaluation by one of our
naturopathic physicians. Naturopathic Medicine TreatmentWhen you schedule your initial appointment, your first step will be to complete a detailed health questionnaire which asks you about the various facets of your health and life. This is an important tool for you and us to discover the factors affecting your total health.First Clinic Visit In this 60-minute visit, we will explore your complete health history. Relevant physical examination will occur, or be deferred until the second visit. Appropriate laboratory testing will be scheduled if necessary. Second Visit This visit commonly begins with a physical exam, followed by a thorough review of findings from the lab testing, physical exam, and the initial visit. A personal treatment plan is discussed including what to expect as you heal. Follow-Up Visits Your next follow-up will usually be in 3-4 weeks to ensure your health is improving as expected. Modifications to your treatment plan may occur. Follow-up visits will depend on your progress toward health and your specific needs. Preventive Health Care Visits Our goal is not only to help you improve your health now, but to prevent future illness as well. It is much easier, more sensible and less expensive to keep your body healthy than to allow illness to take root and then work to eradicate it. Coming in for periodic preventive health care visits is a valuable way for us to stay current with new developments in your health and to prevent future disease.
