Naturopathic physicians differ from conventional medical physicians in that we come from a wellness model not an illness model. We attempt to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself by using a number of techniques all of which are gentle and, for the most part, non-invasive. Treatments can take on many forms ranging from removing obstacles to health to giving the body a push in the right direction by correcting nutritional deficiencies or using botanicals to affect change.
At your first appointment, Dr. Geis will conduct an extensive interview that includes a detailed health history, relevant physical exam and screening diagnostics. Other lab work may be requested depending upon your specific presentation and concerns. This will take between 75-90 minutes.
Your second visit, usually 2 weeks later and about 45 minutes in length will include a detailed report of findings and your individualized treatment plan will be discussed. Any remaining portion of the physical exam will be completed at this time. Treatment plans are geared to the unique needs of the individual and may include the following: diet and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional supplementation, botanical extracts, home hydrotherapy and weekly acupuncture treatments.
Subsequent visits are typically every four to six weeks but might be more frequent if your case requires active treatments or close follow-up. As you start to experience greater health and wellness, an office visit every three months is recommended for general health maintenance and disease prevention. If ever an acute, non-emergency condition occurs, please call the office as Naturopathic interventions may be indicated.
Contrary to what you might think, naturopathic care does not need to be practiced in isolation. Many of our clients with pre-existing medical concerns and treatments seek our services to best ensure all their health needs are met.
