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:
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.
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.
Ask about the ND’s experience with conditions similar to yours and any special training or focus areas.
Look for positive reviews and testimonials. Consider asking for recommendations from friends, family, or other healthcare providers.
Make sure the ND accepts your insurance plan or offers alternative payment options, like sliding scale fees or tiered payment plans.
Choose an ND who makes you feel comfortable and confident. Don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion if needed.
