Find a Licensed Natural Medicine Provider

Qualified, experienced complementary and integrative providers stand ready to provide natural, whole-person health care. These underutilized practitioners can supplement critical needs, particularly in natural and preventive chronic disease management:

These include, but are not necessarily limited to: 

While many providers can provide whole-health care, licensed naturopathic doctors are one of the best options for a natural, whole-health approach to primary care. Here’s how to find one:

1. Verify credentials and education:
 

Verify that the ND graduated from an accredited naturopathic medical school and holds proper credentials. Check for certifications or memberships with reputable organizations like the AANP or the Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Be cautious, as not all self-described “naturopaths” are licensed NDs.

2. Check licensure and regulation:

Consult your state’s regulatory board to ensure the ND is licensed to practice. Some NDs practice in states that don’t license or regulate naturopathic doctors by maintaining an active license from a state that does.

3. Evaluate experience and specialization:

Ask about the ND’s experience with conditions similar to yours and any special training or focus areas.

4. Read reviews and seek recommendations:

Look for positive reviews and testimonials. Consider asking for recommendations from friends, family, or other healthcare providers.

5. Insurance and payment options:

Make sure the ND accepts your insurance plan or offers alternative payment options, like sliding scale fees or tiered payment plans.

6. Trust your instincts:

Choose an ND who makes you feel comfortable and confident. Don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion if needed.
