What To Expect

Our Naturopaths believe that every patient is unique and therefore requires individualized naturopathic care.John Catsicas with a patient

When visiting our Naturopathic Physician your experience will be like no other medical consultation. You will find a person committed to your health and wellness in a completely holistic way.

An initial consultation takes 40 minutes. The Naturopath will take a medical history, which will involve questions regarding your current symptoms and health, past illnesses and operations, past and present medications, family history and dietary information.

Non invasive tests will be performed at this appointment which will help the practitioner diagnose your health at the present state and to identify any problems that may arise regarding your health in the future.

These tests are explained under the test section on this website.

Using the information from the medical history and results from the tests performed allow the practitioner
to develop a treatment plan. Our Naturopaths treat the underlying causes of disease, not just the
symptoms. This approach is necessary for the patients to achieve optimum health and wellness over the
course of their lives. Disease affects the entire person, not just a specific organ or system. Thoughts,
feelings, lifestyle, family history, environmental stresses, nutritional status and general physical state are
all carefully evaluated.

The Naturopath will then advise on dietary and lifestyle changes and where indicated prescribe
naturopathic medication to not only address the symptoms but also address the underlying cause.
Naturopathic medication consists of herbal, nutritional and homeopathic Medicine. Emotional factors
may also be corrected using a technique called the "Neuro Emotional Technique" (NET).
