- It's truly rewarding for Dr. Schreiner to witness patients resolve concerns about their blood pressure or cholesterol levels and experience feeling much more balanced mentally, emotionally, and physically.

- With Dr. Schreiner, a Naturopathic Doctor, individuals with frequent colds or feeling like their immune system is weak are guided towards complete resolution of chronic constipation/diarrhea issues that plagued them for years.

- What kind of lab testing might a Naturopathic Doctor recommend?
- A Naturopathic Doctor may utilize both conventional and specialized lab tests. Conventional tests (like those your MD might order) can include standard blood panels (CBC, cholesterol, blood sugar, iron, etc.), urinalysis, and thyroid hormone testing. Specialized or functional tests might include comprehensive hormone panels (saliva, urine, or blood), food sensitivity testing (e.g., IgG), comprehensive digestive stool analysis, organic acid testing, or heavy metal testing. The specific tests recommended will depend on your individual health concerns and history, and are used to gain deeper insights into your body's functioning and guide treatment.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathic Doctor in BC?
- In British Columbia, patients can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor (Naturopath or Naturopathe) directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). However, while a referral is not legally required to consult with an ND, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to understand their specific requirements and ensure coverage.
- What is the difference between a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathic Doctor) and a Medical Doctor (MD)?
- Medical Doctors (MDs) generally use conventional medicine, including prescription drugs and surgery, to treat specific diseases and symptoms. Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathic Doctors or Naturopathes) take a holistic approach, aiming to identify and treat the underlying cause of health issues using natural therapies such as diet, herbs, homeopathy, and lifestyle changes. They prioritize disease prevention and patient education. Both can work together to support your overall health.
- Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- Naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are generally not covered by the Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket. However, many private and extended health insurance plans offer coverage for licensed Naturopathic Doctors. It is recommended to check your specific insurance policy for details on coverage and reimbursement.
- What is Naturopathic Medicine and how can it help me?
- Naturopathic Medicine, practiced by a qualified Naturopathic Doctor, focuses on holistic, patient-centered care. It emphasizes prevention, treatment, and achieving optimal health through natural therapies that support and stimulate the body's innate ability to heal itself. Your Naturopathic Doctor will work with you to develop a personalized plan tailored to your health concerns, vitality, and wellness goals.
- Does Interior Naturopathic & Wellness offer direct billing to private insurance companies for Naturopathic services?
- Yes, Interior Naturopathic & Wellness offers direct billing for Naturopathic services to many major private insurance companies. Patients are encouraged to bring their insurance cards and verify their specific coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, and any referral requirements. Since coverage varies, patients are responsible for any portion not reimbursed by their insurer.
