F.A.Q.

Prior to our first meeting you will be asked to complete a comprehensive health history and diet diary. This information, combined with an in-depth discussion, will help me assess your current needs. Some physical exam will be performed and an initial, individualized treatment plan will be provided. Follow up typically happens at 4-6 week intervals depending on the nature of your concerns.

While much of what we do focuses on disease prevention and health promotion ND’s treat a wide variety of chronic conditions. These include but are not limited to:

• Digestive concerns such as IBS, inflammatory bowel disease
• Skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, hives
• Metabolic concerns such as type 2 diabetes and prediabetes
• Cardiovascular concerns such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure
• Asthma, allergies and food sensitivities
• Premenstrual syndrome and peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms
• Pregnancy and post-partum support
• Insomnia and other sleep concerns
• Auto-immune conditions 
• Mental health concerns like stress, anxiety and depression
• Acute conditions like fevers, ear infections, sinusitis, and bronchitis

Dr. Pat has extensive experience working with patients of all ages.  Her youngest patient was just a few days old and her eldest is currently 96!

ND’s are regulated primary care providers and general practitioners of natural medicine. We are trained to work collaboratively with other practitioners. I often refer to MD’s, registered massage therapists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, podiatrists and others.

While OHIP does not cover naturopathic visits, most private health insurance plans cover at least a portion of naturopathic treatments. Check your policy to determine what your coverage entails.

Payment is due at the time of the appointment. We accept cash, cheque or e transfer.
