Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) have been licensed physicians in British Columbia since 1937. They can be viewed as GP's or primary care doctors of natural medicine. Naturopathic medicine aims to address the underlying or root cause of any disease, illness or symptoms and to do so NDs utilize botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, nutritional supplements, lifestyle counselling, therapeutic exercise and stress management techniques. NDs also may perform physical exams as well as order and review lab test results. Consultations with a naturopathic doctor at Whistler Wellness are covered by most Canadian extended health insurance plans. Our clinic also has a natural pharmacy that our naturopathic doctor may recommend supplements and remedies from.
In British Columbia naturopathic doctors can also prescribe most pharmaceutical medications and order lab tests privately, which can be a convenient option for out of country visitors to Whistler who may not be able to see a local medical doctor for an acute condition or situation and would prefer not to go to the Whistler ER.
Our naturopathic physician Dr. Arjuna Veeravagu offers 30 minute initial consultations for basic/acute conditions and 60 minute initial consultations for complex/chronic conditions. Appointments with him may be in-person, by video telehealth or by phone.
