Naturopathic physicians (identified as NDs) are licensed in the state of Oregon as primary care providers. Our doctors take the time to listen and learn about you, and approach your diagnosis and treatment from a holistic and patient-empowering perspective. Whenever possible, NDs address the underlying causes of illness to support you in your quest to optimal health and wellness. Naturopathic medicine offers safe, costeffective, preventive health solutions for minor, chronic and acute health conditions.
Care Teams
Patients who want to establish NUNM Health Centers for regular care are encouraged to select a care team that best meets their needs. Our care teams are organized to ensure that you have a group of providers who can see you throughout the week and coordinate your care as needed. Below are our three care teams and lists of the different specialties each provider brings to our Lair Hill Health Center.
