What should I expect during my naturopathic visits?

First and foremost, you should expect to meet a doctor who listens and respects your needs – a doctor who will discuss treatment options with you and create a plan that works best for you.

Your Initial Assessment

On your first visit, Dr. Zheng will take a detailed health history that includes your chief health concerns as well as past medical history, family medical history, discussions around your nutritional status, lifestyle, emotional well-being, exercise levels, stressors and other significant health factors. When necessary, Dr. Zheng will also perform related physical examinations or ask to obtain some laboratory assessments. At the end of the visit, Dr. Zheng will present treatment options for you and discuss an individualized short and long term course of management. This first visit will take approximately 60 minutes.
