FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do Naturopathic Doctors interact with other health professionals?

Naturopathic Medicine is a complete, coordinated approach to health care. Naturopathic treatments are often combined with conventional medical treatments. It is becoming more common to find naturopathic doctors working with other health professionals for the good of the patient. Naturopathic doctors also refer patients to other practitioners including medical doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists and midwives. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to recognize conditions, which are outside their scope of practice and to refer to other health practitioners when it is appropriate to do so.

Patients do not require a referral from a medical doctor to make an appointment with a naturopathic doctor.
