Naturopathic doctors (ND) are trained as primary care providers who diagnose, treat, and manage patients with acute and chronic conditions. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct health care profession that combines the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science.

NDs are guided by six principles when treating patients.

Also known as homeopathic medicine, homeopathy is a system of therapeutics that was first developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in Germany more than 200 years ago. Its primary method is to use specially prepared natural substances, plants and minerals to aid the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.

By definition, a medicine is considered homeopathic only if it is prescribed based on the principle of like cures like. Being natural or herbal does not necessarily make a medicine or supplement homeopathic.  

‍It is very important to understand that for this reason, OTC medications or formulas simply labeled as “homeopathic” are, in truth, not homeopathic unless they are matched with your condition.

Homeopathy is a specialized technique and a medicine can only be homeopathic if it is individually selected by a skilled practitioner for your condition.

‍If you'd like to understand this concept more, I recommend checking out Beyond Flat Earth Medicine by Dr. Tim Dooley - a great introductory book to homeopathy. We can also discuss this at your appointment.

Homeopathy is a specialty practice in the world of natural medicine and requires years of dedicated study and practice in order to successfully apply it. Many people have sadly not seen results with homeopathy because they have not worked with an expert.

This is tragic because for many people homeopathy is the key to regaining their health! Dr. Fig is an internationally recognized expert and a peer reviewed published author in the homeopathic profession.

Your first visit usually lasts about 60 minutes. We discuss your health issues in detail, including your current symptoms and health history. We also consider contributing factors such as lifestyle, personality traits, work demands, and other environmental circumstances. If necessary, we may perform a physical examination or order laboratory work to develop a diagnosis and propose a course of treatment.

For most patients, a 30minute follow up visit is scheduled monthly for the first several months of homeopathic treatment. This initial frequency ensures superior patient care. In many cases, eventually only one visit every 6 - 12 months is needed.

Even if you're feeling better, it's important that you follow up as directed. Sometimes slight adjustments to your homeopathic prescription are needed to ensure you continue to improve.
