Filling the healthcare gap
The reality in Ontario is that family doctors are overwhelmed and access to care is limited. Wait times are long, appointments are brief, and there's often little time for the conversations you need to truly understand your health. Naturopathic doctors are well-trained in physical exams and lab interpretation, and we can provide thorough, unhurried care that fills the gaps in the system. Because I work outside of OHIP, I'm not restricted by the same time limits or testing algorithms—I can order the labs that make sense for you and take the time to actually explain what they mean.
When you come in for an annual physical, we'll start with an intake to review your health history and any current concerns, followed by a complete physical exam. I'll then order bloodwork tailored to your situation—screening for the basics or digging deeper if needed. Once your results are ready, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment to review everything together. I'll walk you through what's happening in your body, what your numbers indicate about your health risks or imbalances, and help you understand your options moving forward. You'll leave understanding your health, not just with a piece of paper you don't know how to read.
