Appointments

Initial Naturopathic office visit:


There are two main options for initial Naturopathic consultations: a 90 minute first Naturopathic consult or a 2 hour Naturopathic consult incorporating acupuncture therapy. The first visit is essential in establishing the health goals that you would like to work with. Emphasis is placed on investigating the whole person (mind, body, spirit) and finding the root cause of the disease. The time spent is essential and will give Dr. Nguyen time to discuss with you your health concerns, review medical history, perform indicated physical examinations, and come up with a basic treatment plan.


Naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine complement each other greatly, and the integration of both will give you quick results as well as a broad selection of choices for effective treatment. Some of the possible treatment recommendations include individualized dietary and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional supplementation, herbal medicines, therapeutic exercise, physical medicine, hydrotherapy, and homeopathy. Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture therapy will be recommended when appropriate. All treatment plans are based on the Six Principles of Naturopathic Medicine: do no harm, treat the cause, work with the body to heal itself when possible, treat the whole person, educate the patient, and focus on prevention. An introductory optimal wellness folder is provided with information and handouts to get you started on your path to greater wellness.


15- minute free consultation: Dr. Nguyen allows a 15-minute consultation as an opportunity for those curious about Naturopathic Medicine and wondering whether Dr. Nguyen’s approach will be beneficial for them. This can be done in the office, by email, or phone. She will answer general questions that you have, but will not give any specific recommendations or therapy until the initial office visit.
