Naturopathic Doctors emphasize disease prevention and patient education. While their philosophies differ, Naturopathic Doctors and MDs can complement each other in a patient's overall healthcare plan.

- Patients in Ontario can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor directly without a physician's referral, a practice known as direct access. However, it is important to note that some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage or reimbursement. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies before scheduling their first appointment to confirm any specific requirements.
- What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?
- The first visit with a Naturopathic Doctor involves a comprehensive health assessment. Expect to discuss your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors in detail.
