Q. What can I expect on my first visit to Naturopathic Solutions, Inc.?
A. A hug! Not only of your body, but of your mind and spirit as well. Our goal is to understand your whole being and all the factors that impact your health, with an approach that transcends what you might expect when you visit your doctor. On your first visit, Dr. Stills will meet with you to gain an in-depth history of your health, to discuss any medications you may be taking, and to understand your goals and reasons for visiting Naturopathic Solutions. This thorough, vital “getting to know you” session is essential to optimal health. 

Q. Who can benefit from the care of a naturopathic doctor?
A. People of any age, from infancy to the elderly, with any health concern, can benefit from naturopathic medicine. Our patients visit us for a broad variety of reasons. Many are healthy but seeking to further improve their state of health and well-being, in order to prevent future disease. Some are suffering from an acute illness, such as a cold, the flu, or headache, and want to “kick-start” their body’s own healing processes naturally. Other patients may be suffering from chronic, degenerative illnesses, and come to us seeking a more natural, less harmful, or complementary approach to what they are being provided through conventional medical care.

Q. What kinds of health problems can be treated by a naturopathic doctor?
A. A naturopathic doctor may discuss virtually any chronic or acute concern, for women, men and children, and suggest natural treatments. Patients come to us for a broad range of concerns.

Q. Will you consult and/or interact with other health care professionals for my care and treatment?
A. Yes, whenever necessary. Naturopathic treatments are often combined with other medical treatments for the good of our patients. We may also refer you to other practitioners, such as medical doctors (MDs), chiropractors, massage therapists and midwives.

Q. Do I need a referral to see you?
A. No, a referral is not necessary.

Q. What is the difference between a homeopath and a naturopathic doctor?
A. Homeopathy is just one of the therapies we naturopathic doctors may integrate into a total treatment plan for your health. A homeopath, on the other hand, would use only homeopathy.
