How can I find a naturopath in my area?
Naturopaths are more common than you think, but you want to be careful that you choose one who has been to an accredited 4-year naturopathic college. Some doctors labeling themselves as naturopaths have not graduated from a college, but rather completed some type of correspondence course. These types of naturopaths may be sufficient for general health counseling, but if you want a doctor to be able to perform physical exams, run labs and write prescriptions if needed, you need to visit a naturopath from an accredited school.
Visit the AANP website to find out who is in your neighborhood! This site only lists those who have graduated from an accredited school.
What's the difference between a naturopathic visit and a visit to my regular M.D.?
Naturopaths evaluate the whole person, and work hard to find the cause of your symptoms rather than just make your symptoms go away. Because of this we have a very different visit schedule than your average M.D.
What you should expect from a naturopathic visit:
- 1- 1 1/2 hr visit on your first visit so we can get a full health history and physical exam
- 30 min follow-up visits to check in with you and hear your concerns
- often times we'll give you homework like writing down your blood pressure each day, or filling out a food diary
- visits can be longer if bodywork or other modality is part of your treatment
