Welcome

As naturopathic physicians, we are trained in the art and science of disease prevention, medical diagnosis and treatment using minimally invasive natural therapies.  Our focus is to facilitate the body's own natural mechanisms for healing using modalities such as homeopathy, cranial sacral therapy, hydrotherapy, botanical medicine, counseling, and nutrition.

We will perform a detailed patient history, appropriate physical exams, and order lab tests as necessary.  Our patients are of all ages and backgrounds.  We spend one hour of time getting to know them and their history at the first office visit, and 30 - 40 minutes for follow- up visits as needed.
