What We Do
Our providers are licensed Naturopathic Physicians. We use functional medicine and naturopathic principles to address layers of symptoms, health concerns or conditions you have to achieve your ultimate health goals.
What is Naturopathic/Functional Medicine?
Naturopathic and functional medicine combines safe and effective therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic Physicians utilize the same diagnostic tools, physical exams, lab work, and imaging techniques as conventional physicians. Our Naturopathic Doctors are licensed physicians with full scope of practice within the State of Oregon and Washington. The philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine is to consider each person and their health status on an individual basis and educate patients on how to take charge of their health.

What to expect for your initial consultation
Your first appointment with us is our opportunity to learn about your health history, address your current health concerns, and tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs. This visit will be an one hour in-person visit with your provider.
When you call to schedule, we will ask you to complete your new patient health history and consent forms before we schedule your appointment. This will ensure the provider has your medical history prior to meeting you, and your time is maximized with the provider during your visit.
At the end of your initial consultation, your provider will have formulated a treatment plan with recommendations going forward. When you check out after your visit, our staff will coordinate scheduling your testing, follow-up visits and treatments with you.
Procedures
We offer a wide variety of in-office procedures to get you feeling better faster. All procedures we offer are non-billable to insurance. To ensure treatments are accessible, we have package discounts for the services we provide. We are happy to go through package pricing and options at any time.
Insurance
Our clinic is in network with Regence/Blue Cross Blue Shield, MODA and Pacific Source. We can bill insurance for patients with confirmed in-network coverage. We are unable to bill insurance plans that are out-of-network. We do offer a discounted rate for all provider visits paid in full at the time of service. Information provided to our admin team at time of verification may limited. Please verify your benefits for naturopathic coverage before each office visit with your physician.
We do not bill Medicare, Medicare supplemental plans, Medicaid or Oregon Health Plan. This includes office visits, lab orders, blood draws and in office procedures. We do have discounted private pay prices for provider visits available. Our staff is happy to explain billing and costs to you when you call to schedule your first visit.
Coverage information we receive from your insurance company may be limited. If you have questions about your coverage, please contact your insurance provider and ask for details about your naturopathic benefits.
Clinic Communications
We utilize Klara text messaging for the majority of our patient communications and exchange of information. This is a HIPAA compliant texting software that enables us and our patients to exchange messages, documents, forms and photos quickly and securely. Klara is able to be used on your phone or on a computer by going to klara.patient.com.
Follow-Ups and Telemedicine Visits
Once you are established as a patient, follow ups may be frequent until your health status and the trajectory for your health goals is on track. Telemedicine visits may be a quick and convenient way for you to stay focused on your health journey and receive support from your provider. We schedule telemedicine visits upon request and in circumstances where a physical exam is not required.
All established patients require a minimum of one in-person visit yearly or bi-annually. Depending on your treatment plan, more frequent visits may be required.
Telemedicine visits require the patient scheduled is on camera with the provider. It is optimal to conduct your visit in a private room away from distractions. Our provider’s scope of practice is limited to the states of Oregon and Washington and they will ask you to confirm your location at the beginning of each telemedicine visit.
