We encourage you to partner with our naturopathic doctors to maintain a wholistic perspective of your health, wellness, and goals for a vibrant life as you engage with conventional healthcare professionals and systems.
There is much wisdom in contemporary medicine, which has made significant advances in addressing acute and chronic health conditions. It has achieved this through scientific research and specialized experimentation on specific parts of the body and its systems. However, more and more of our patients report that doctors, nurses, and diagnostic technicians in conventional healthcare do not make them feel like a whole person and do not provide adequate answers to their big questions. Instead, these specialists make people feel like an illness or a dysfunction.
We are convinced this occurs because conventional healthcare professionals have become so specialized that they are now experts in a particular part of health and, thus, have a myopic view of life. Many do not know how to see or think wholistically about their patients as complete human beings. And they do not receive encouragement or incentives to do so. This reason is simple. Conventional healthcare is dominated by mammoth-sized healthcare systems that are headquartered in impersonal, corporate hospitals. Executives in charge of these corporations require doctors to spend less and less time with their patients as a way to increase billable time and, thus, profits. It is as if patients have become objects on an assembly line, doctors have become robots tinkering with them, and healthcare has become an illness-management factory whose administrators are mostly concerned with productivity and throughput, like an engineer rather than a healer.
