Initial appointment
2 hours
We go through your full health history, symptoms, and goals, and do any relevant physical exams. Testing is ordered as needed. You leave with your first treatment recommendations and your follow-up visits booked.
3
Follow-up appointments
45 minutes
Usually every two to three weeks over about the first 3 months, booked in advance. After each visit, you get a check-in by secure message to see how the plan is going.
4
Review and ongoing care
Every 1-3 months
A review appointment once your planned follow-ups are done, typically around 3 months, where we look at your progress together and decide what ongoing care looks like for you. For most patients, that means ongoing maintenance visits every 1-3 months so we can keep building on what's working.

Common Questions
Yes! Currently offering virtual, phone and in-person appointments. When scheduling your appointment, specify what type of appointment you would prefer.
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.
Our current fees, along with insurance and lab testing details, are on our fee schedule page.
