Questions to ask your local naturopathic doctor

Naturopathy is a fluid and evolving field of health. In turn, finding the most ideal and best naturopathic doctor can be a challenge in of itself.

Here at Yellow Pages, we’re here to help. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of questions to help you make sure you get the most out of your time at the naturopathic clinic (once you’ve found the right one).

• Are you a member of a professional association? Here in Australia, key bodies are the Australian Natural Therapies Association or Australian Naturopathic Practitioners Association. Recognition by these bodies signifies extensive training and education.
• What is your area of specialty? Look for a naturopath whose focus area aligns best with your needs.
• How are my health issues diagnosed? Does this involve lab work and physical tests? You need to feel comfortable with and trust the approach they use.
• What treatment methods are used? As naturopaths treat the cause and not just the symptoms, they may use a combination of different treatments.
• How many appointments do I need?  This may vary depending on your cause for seeking treatment. Some chronic issues may require ongoing sessions.

Charged with these questions, you’ll be on the road to making an informed and right choice about choosing a naturopathic doctor near you.  Don’t feel shy about asking questions and get quotes today.
