What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine means the best of naturopathic/holistic medicine, combined with the most advanced laboratory testing. The focus is on working with your body and addressing the causes of the symptoms you’re experiencing, not simply suppressing them.
It also means focusing on the whole person. This means all symptoms — physical, mental, and emotional — are taken into account.
Integrative Medicine is practiced by Naturopathic Doctors – the true experts in Functional Medicine & Holistic Therapies.

What is a Naturopathic Doctor?
What is a Naturopathic Doctor?
The answer to this question is simple.
A Naturopathic Doctor is a doctor that listens to you, takes the time to find out what is causing your symptoms, and works with the body to resolve your symptoms – not suppress them.
You may be used to only getting 5-10 minutes with your doctor and feeling rushed.
You may be sick of getting prescription after prescription and never feeling like you are fixing the problem.
You might have told your doctor about your symptoms, and felt like he or she didn’t believe you.

Naturopathic Doctors are different than conventional doctors.
Some of their training is the same – anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology – but the way they look at the body and health is different.
Naturopathic Doctors are different than conventional doctors in that they do not treat symptoms – they treat people.
At the end of the day, every person with the same diagnosis did not get there the same way or for the same reasons – and Naturopathic Doctors get that. They do not treat with a one-size fits all approach; every treatment plan is individualized to each person.
Naturopathic Doctors see the body as connected.
That is, every symptom you are experiencing ties into your other symptoms. You mental, emotional, and physical well-being are all intertwined.

WHAT TO EXPECT
1 Consultation
The first step is a 75 minute initial consultation appointment with either Dr. Stephanie or Dr. Kasey where you’ll share your current health concerns, past medical history, and health goals in-depth. The doctor’s goal is to gain an idea of where the imbalances in your health are coming from.
2 Order/Review Labs
Next, the doctor will discuss any laboratory testing, functional lab testing, or imaging he/she believes will be necessary to order to help better understand any root cause imbalances. If you have recent lab work, the doctor will review the results and discuss them with you.
3 Treatment Plan
Lastly, the doctor will create your customized treatment plan to begin resolving your health concerns at a root-cause level. Plus, you will leave with a better understanding of where your symptoms are coming from and how to prevent them from coming back in the future,
4 Follow-Up
After your initial consultation, you will meet with the Naturopathic Doctor for a follow-up appointment to review lab results, follow up on your progress, make changes to your treatment plan, etc. Typically, patients follow up once a month in the beginning. Follow-ups are 30-60minutes long, giving you ample time to discuss your health and wellness in-depth with the doctor.
The majority of our patients notice a significant improvement in their health within the first 1-2 months of working together.
