What Is A Naturopathic Doctor?

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are general practitioners of natural health care and employ a wide range of therapies to create a preventative, restorative and individualized approach to health care. These therapies include detoxification, clinical nutrition, botanical (herbal) medicine, acupuncture and Asian medicine, homeopathic medicine, physical treatments, lifestyle assessment, counseling and IV therapy

A naturopathic doctor is different than a medical doctor. While both are doctors, naturopathic doctors operate by striving to find the underlying cause of your health concerns and treating them using the gentlest, most natural treatment methods possible.

Does Dr. JJ Work With My Medical Doctor?

Absolutely. When working with Dr. JJ, there will be close communication between him, your medical doctor, and any other healthcare practitioner on your team.

“Two heads are better than one,” says Dr. JJ. “My patients see results and they know that the whole team is looking out for their health from head to toe”.
