Naturopathic Consult

A naturopathic medical consult is a consult in which we go over your health concerns as well as your overall health. New patient consults are usually 1 hour long. In the consult I am listening to all your concerns, and trying to uncover the possible root cause of your conditions. Instead of trying to ‘band aid’ your symptoms, I want to uncover more and figure out the root cause to truly heal your body. Just masking symptoms is like trying to squirt a water gun on a raging fire, when we need to stop the fire at it’s source.

Emphasizing the wisdom of prevention, Dr. Chelsea Smithback follows the Naturopathic philosophy, focusing on restoring balance within the body to facilitate self-healing. Her tailored treatment strategies aim to enhance overall health, promote well-being, and maintain equilibrium, harnessing the body's innate ability to heal itself.

How does a naturopathic consult work?

During the first visit we are talking about your specific concerns, as well as preventative health, assessing your overall health, checking in on gut health, mental health and diet and lifestyle.


Depending on the condition, Dr. Smithback can usually start a treatment plan in the first visit. In some cases, further lab testing is needed to assess the condition or confirm a diagnosis, before starting a full comprehensive treatment. Dr. Smithback will commonly run labs on all new patients to confirm or rule out diagnoses, as well as to check in on their overall health.
