Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathic Doctor in ON?

Patients in Ontario can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathe) directly without a physician's referral, as direct access is permitted by law. However, it is important to check with your private or extended health insurance provider because some plans require a referral for reimbursement. While a referral may not be legally necessary to see an ND, having one can sometimes facilitate insurance claims. Patients are encouraged to verify the specific requirements of their insurance policy before their first appointment to ensure coverage.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first Naturopathic appointment?

It’s helpful to bring any recent lab work (within the last year or two), a complete list of medications and supplements (including brands and doses), and your extended health insurance information. Additionally, filling out any intake forms provided by the clinic ahead of time can save you time during your appointment and help Dr. Leys better understand your health history.

Approximately how many Naturopathic sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your health concerns, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Dr. Leys will discuss an initial treatment plan and timeline after your assessment, and progress will be continually re-evaluated to adjust the approach as needed.

What are some of the specialized therapies Naturopathic Doctors might offer if they have extra training?

Some Naturopathic Doctors pursue additional certifications for specialized therapies, such as Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy to deliver high doses of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, prolotherapy for chronic joint and ligament pain by stimulating natural healing, or advanced acupuncture techniques. Availability varies, so patients interested in these options should inquire directly with Dr. Leys.

What is the difference between a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathic Doctor) and a Medical Doctor (MD)?

Medical Doctors (MDs) typically use conventional medicine, including prescription drugs and surgery, to treat specific diseases and symptoms. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) take a holistic approach, aiming to identify and treat the root causes of health issues using natural therapies such as diet, herbs, homeopathy, and lifestyle modifications. Both practitioners can work together to provide comprehensive care, emphasizing prevention and education.

What is Naturopathic Medicine and how can it help me?

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of primary healthcare that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural therapies. A licensed Naturopathic Doctor like Dr. Leys aims to stimulate the body's innate healing capacity, address underlying causes of illness, and promote overall wellness. It offers personalized treatment plans utilizing therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy to empower patients in their health journey.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Naturopathic services provided by a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are generally not covered by OHIP. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket for these services. However, many private and extended health insurance plans do offer some coverage for naturopathic treatments. Patients are advised to review their individual insurance policies to understand the level of coverage available and to ensure that their provider is registered and licensed according to provincial standards.
