Our Approach
What Makes Our Primary Care Different
Care built around you, not a 15-minute appointment.
Relationship Driven
We build long-term, trusting relationships that support continuity of care through every stage of life.
Prevention Focused
Standard and specialty testing helps assess your individual risk, and we address underlying causes, not just symptoms.
Optimal Health
We draw on current research on sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress so you can thrive, not just get by.
Innovative Medicine
Specialty labs assess genetic, metabolic, hormonal, nutrient, and immune function to uncover imbalances.
Evidence Informed
We combine traditional wisdom, clinical experience, and current science.
Collaborative
We coordinate with your other providers, both locally and across the wider medical community.
Unhurried Visits

✓ Physical exam and lab testing when needed

Did You Know?
Functional Medicine Has Naturopathic Roots
The core ideas of functional medicine (whole-person care, finding root causes, and prevention) have long been at the heart of naturopathic medicine.
Naturopathic leaders helped shape the field. Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, ND, founding president of Bastyr University, has served on the Institute for Functional Medicine's board since 2001. When you see one of our naturopathic doctors, you're working with a provider trained in these principles from the start.
Primary Care FAQ
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for the root causes of illness by considering how your genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, and environment interact. The goal is lasting health, not just symptom relief.
Can a naturopathic doctor be my primary care provider?
Yes. In Oregon, naturopathic doctors are licensed to serve as primary care providers, including physical exams, lab testing, diagnosis, and prescriptions.
Should I see an ND or an NP?
Both offer whole-person care. The choice often comes down to your health goals and your insurance. Give us a call and we'll help you decide.
Does insurance cover my visits?
Coverage depends on your plan and provider type. We recommend checking your benefits before your first visit, and our team is happy to help.
Can I keep my current doctor?
Yes. We can work alongside your existing providers and coordinate care when helpful.
