Frequently Asked Questions

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct branch of health care that emphasizes prevention and treatment through the use of natural therapeutics. It blends modern and traditional, ancient medicine backed with scientific data. The doctors at Greenleaf Healthcare who practice Naturopathic Medicine completed a 4 year post graduate training program where we were trained as primary care physicians. The first 2 years of training include the basic sciences (such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry) and medical information (including pathology, diagnosis, and physical exams). The following 2 years focus on naturopathic modalities (such as botanicals, physical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, and nutrition). At Greenleaf we provide a comprehensive approach to your health by offering a variety of healing therapies with expertly trained professionals.

Your first Naturopathic consultation is very comprehensive and the visit is typically 45 minutes to 1 hour. This time includes getting to know you, hearing your story..gathering history and current symptoms, doing a thorough physical exam and putting together a wellness plan that best supports you. We want to support you in reaching your optimal level of health and are available in office or by tele-medicine consultations for follow up visits. Follow up visits are generally 30 – 45 minutes and will include checking in on the progress of your health, treatment plan, address any questions, re-evaluate and strategize for additional areas of optimization, and continue offering compassionate Naturopathic support. We also have acute care visits which can be a 15 minute consultation and prescription or add additional time for an in office acute care treatment session.
