I have questions before I have a sentence.
Notes
Before most people book, they have questions. What does an ND do? How is that different from my family doctor? How often would I go? Each note answers one question, with the short answer first. Where a rule matters, it says where the rule comes from.
What does a naturopath do?
What an ND in Ontario assesses, what a plan can include, and where the job stops.
Naturopath vs medical doctor
How each one trains, who regulates them, and how the two work alongside each other.
How often should you see a naturopath?
There's no set number. What decides the timing, and why you pay one visit at a time.
When should you see a naturopathic doctor?
When an ND fits, when it's your family doctor's job first, and when to call 911.
Answers, not promises
No note tells you what your body will do. Each one says what an ND looks at, what the rules are, and what the visit involves.
Checked against the rules
Facts about training, scope and referral come from the College of Naturopaths of Ontario, Ontario's laws and the regulators' own pages. The ND reviews every note.
Alongside your family doctor
The ND works alongside your family doctor. With your permission, the ND shares findings, and refers you when something needs a medical doctor or nurse practitioner.
Not for emergencies. In an emergency, call 911.
Bring your sentence. We'll start there.
