When Would I Refer to a Naturopath?

Conventional doctors, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and many other types of practitioners refer to naturopaths all the time.

Your patient is always “under the weather” or gets many colds per year.

You have followed proper protocols, and your patient’s symptoms persist.

Your patient has allergies or food intolerances that don’t improve with conventional treatment.

Your patient has many vague symptoms and you have not been able to arrive at a diagnosis.

There is a family history of cancer and/or heart disease and your patient is interested in minimizing their risk.

Your patient is interested in bio-identical hormone replacement and would like to see someone with training in this area.

Your patient would really benefit from advice on nutrition and diet, and you just don’t have the time.

You have discussed exercise, but your patient has not yet begun for various reasons.

Naturopathic care always occurs in the context of other types of care. Referring your patient to Dr. McNaughton opens a relationship of communication and the best healing for your patient. Phone calls and letters are always welcome to maintain the dialogue!
