How long do Naturopathic appointments typically last?

Your first Naturopathic visit is comprehensive and usually takes about 60-90 minutes. Subsequent follow-up appointments can vary, typically from 30 to 60 minutes. The length of your appointments will be determined by your Naturopathic Doctor based on your individual needs and treatment plan.

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

Both Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathic Doctors) and Medical Doctors (MDs) are healthcare providers, but their approach and primary scope can differ. MDs typically focus on diagnosing and treating diseases using conventional methods like pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathic Doctors focus on prevention and use natural therapies to support the body's self-healing abilities, often looking for the root cause of illness. Naturopathic Doctors may use treatments like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. In many cases, Naturopathic Doctors and MDs can work collaboratively to provide comprehensive patient care. The regulation and scope of practice for Naturopathic Doctors vary by province.

What is Naturopathic Medicine and how can it help me?

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of primary healthcare that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. A licensed Naturopathic Doctor (e.g., Naturopathic Doctor or Naturopathe) aims to stimulate the body's innate healing ability, address the underlying causes of illness, and promote overall health and disease prevention. It can help you by identifying root causes of your health concerns, providing individualized treatment plans using therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy, and empowering you to take an active role in your health.

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

Naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in a private clinic are generally NOT covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket. It's recommended to check your private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer coverage for services provided by registered/licensed Naturopathic Doctors, with the level of coverage varying significantly between plans.

Approximately how many Naturopathic sessions will I need?

This is very individual. Some acute issues might resolve relatively quickly, while chronic or complex conditions may require a longer period of care and support to achieve lasting results. Your Naturopathic Doctor will give you a better idea after your first comprehensive visit and will regularly discuss your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

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

Patients in Ontario can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor (Naturopathic Doctor or Naturopathe) directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, while a doctor's referral may not be legally required to *see* an ND, some private or extended health insurance plans *do* require one for reimbursement of services. It's advisable to check your insurance policy before your appointment.

What types of conditions do Naturopathic Doctors at Dr. Ng address?
