Currently, Naturopathic Doctor visits are not covered under the Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC, other than a small portion if you have premium assistance status. However, most extended benefit plans cover services provided by Naturopathic Doctors. More insurance plans are providing a ‘health spending account’ where all of your benefits could theoretically be directed to Naturopathic services, in which case 100% of your fees would be covered. Check with your extended benefit plan to see what your plan covers.

Initial visits are 75 minutes in length. During this visit, there will be a thorough investigation into your current and past medical history. Any necessary diagnostic testing will be ordered at this visit and there will be opportunity to answer any questions you may have. You will leave this visit the beginnings of your treatment plan and your first follow-up appointment will be 60 minutes in length.  After the first follow-up appointment, all appointments are 30 to 45 minutes in length depending on complexity.

Your health is an investment, and I believe that when people feel well, they can be more productive, happier and experience life to the fullest. In addition to the financial cost of care, you are making a commitment to yourself. 

Extended healthcare benefits may cover a portion of the visit fee - check with your insurer regarding your specific plan.

Other treatments such as lab testing, supplements, vary depending on what is prescribed.

NO! Please don't do that. We encourage patients to develop a health care team and prefer collaborative care amongst the team. We recommend all patients maintain a relationship with their family doctor and specialists.

Our approach is not supplement-heavy. We communicate to patients why they are prescribed a specific supplement, and it is for a specific amount of time. Wherever possible, the supplements we recommend are supported by medical research, and all our treatment plans are individualized to your unique needs.

Yes, there is a prescribing course and examination that Naturopathic Doctors are required to complete prior to being able to prescribe pharmaceuticals. All of our Naturopathic Doctors have completed the requirements to prescribe pharmaceuticals in BC.

It depends!

After our initial appointment, your second follow-up appointment (60-minutes) will be ~4 weeks later. From there, shorter (30 minute) appointments are usually scheduled depending on the complexity of your case and what we are working on. We have some patients that we see more frequently (every 1-2 months) and others where we are following up every 6 months.

Naturopathic Doctors are required to complete a minimum of 3 years of pre-medical training at a university, followed by 4 years of post-graduate training at an accredited Naturopathic Medical school. Prior to completion of training, Naturopathic Medical students must complete written and practical licensing exams in order to obtain licensure in BC. In order to maintain your license as a Naturopathic Doctor in BC, you are required to complete continuing education credits each year.

Visits with your Naturopathic Doctor are tax-exempt, while treatment recommendations including natural health products are not tax-exempt. In BC, Naturopathic Doctor fees can be applied to medical tax credits.
