Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are the nation's leading experts in natural medicine and natural health care.

A clinically-trained Naturopathic Doctor attends a rigorous, accredited, four-year post-graduate naturopathic medical school and is educated in all the basic and clinical sciences.

Naturopathic Doctors also study holistic and nontoxic approaches to health with a strong emphasis on disease prevention and health optimization. ND's incorporate a holistic approach in working with the whole person (physical/mental/biochemical/emotional levels) as they address the underlying imbalances that can lead to illness.

Naturopathic training includes the following diagnostic and treatment modalities: all methods of clinical and laboratory diagnostic testing; clinical nutrition, detoxification; botanical medicines; all forms of natural medicines and nutraceuticals, homeopathy; counseling; naturopathic physical medicine; hydrotherapy and therapeutic exercise.
