and Acupuncturist

From
Dr. Colvard
“My goal as a physician is to assist and offer guidance for each
patient on their individual path back to health. I focus on
supporting each patient's physical, emotional, and spiritual health;
working to
create a setting where the body will begin the healing process.
Using my medical knowledge along with my
naturopathic principles, I work to diagnose, treat, and provide
support and encouragement for each patient that walks through my
door.”
Why choose Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic Physicians treat their patients, not their
conditions. We focus on the cause of the illness, rather than
only treating specific symptoms. We give the patient’s body what it
requires to come back to a healthy state, removing any obstacle to
healing while empowering each patient with the knowledge they need
to restore the inherent vitality within. Naturopathic Physicians
work with the patient to establish a treatment plan that will work
with the patient’s lifestyle while, most importantly, restoring
balance and well-being.

Chronic
Pain, Gastrointestinal Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Weight Issues, Muscle Aches,
