Naturopathic Doctors are primary care providers who can diagnose, treat, and manage patients who suffer from a range of symptoms and conditions. NDs approach patient treatment by addressing the root cause of symptoms from a whole-person lens, focusing on body, mind, and spirit. Naturopathic doctors also focus on prevention and the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Collaboration and teaching patients how to take charge of their own health are important aspects of naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic Doctors collaborate with their patients to create individualized treatment plans that address diet, lifestyle, and mental wellness in order to achieve positive health outcomes.
