What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary healthcare system that uses a holistic approach to discover the root cause of illness and disease. It is patient-centered medicine where your doctor will work with you to create an individualized plan to lead you into optimal health. In order to get to know you as a whole person, the physician may take extra time in the initial visits learning about your work, life, diet, medical history and social habits. In addition, you should expect a thorough physical exam to make sure your body is working smoothly and narrow the diagnosis. Our goal is to get to the root of a problem and tackle it. Along the way, we will identify and troubleshoot any problems that may come up so that you can start feeling better faster. Dr. Maximo combines clinical judgment with empirical evidence to decide which modalities are most appropriate for your care. This may include botanical medicine, dietary advice, labs, bloodwork, referral to specialist, pharmaceutical medications, lifestyle modifications, counseling, hydrotherapy, physical medicine, homeopathy and nutritional supplementation.

What if I already have a diagnosis like PCOS or endometriosis?

We will work with you whether you have an official diagnosis or not.

How long do these programs (The Fertility Fix) usually take to get pregnant?
