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

Medical Doctors (MDs) generally utilize conventional medicine, including prescription drugs and surgery, to treat specific diseases and symptoms.

Both can play complementary roles in a patient’s overall healthcare plan, with NDs emphasizing prevention and patient 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 healing modalities. A licensed Naturopathic Doctor aims to stimulate the body's innate healing ability, identify underlying causes of illness, and promote overall wellness. It offers personalized treatment plans that empower individuals to take an active role in their health, using therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy.

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

In general, naturopathic services provided by a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are not covered by Ontario’s provincial health plan (OHIP).

It is recommended to verify your coverage details with your insurance provider prior to your appointment.
