New Patients

Here is what to expect when you begin naturopathic care.

1. Initial visit: A typical initial visit to an ND’s office is usually scheduled for one hour. This time allows the doctor to understand your health concerns and goals.
2. Health history: During your first visit, be prepared to talk about yourself and discuss your health history extensively.
3. Second visit: The second visit involves a thorough physical assessment, after which treatment plans are presented. If time allows, treatment may begin during this visit.
4. Treatment options: Treatment may involve diet and lifestyle counselling, acupuncture, botanical medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, or other individualized therapies.
5. Follow-up visits: Follow-up visits are usually 15–45 minutes, depending on your individual needs.
