Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine combines modern, scientific, evidence-based methods with traditional, natural, therapeutic modalities. For people who want a doctor who is scientifically oriented, yet specifically trained in alternative medicine techniques, naturopathic doctors provide a marvelous option.

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. NDs are primary care and specialty doctors. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, pharmacology and minor surgery.

As naturopathic doctors we practice under a unique model of health care. We spend the time required to hear our patients concerns and always strive to address the source of their problems. We invite questions and believe that the best medicine is done as a team between doctor and patient. Ultimately it is the patients who will heal themselves. Our role is to guide and support patients in this process.

Dr. Oldfield, Dr. Whittington, Dr. Gray and Dr. Lush have received their ND degrees from Seattle's Bastyr University; a four-year U.S. Department of Education-accredited naturopathic medical school.
