What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is time-honored philosophy and practice of medicine that focuses on determining and treating the underlying causes that create symptoms and disease. It explores health on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Naturopathic medicine uses natural therapies to stimulate and support the body's innate healing ability, restoring balance on all levels of existence.

If I am taking prescription medications, can I take natural medicines?
While it is safe to take many natural medicines in conjunction with prescription drugs, you should always consult your physician(s) before starting a new medication regimen. The natural medicine used at Revive serves to optimize your body's physiology and may change your medication needs.
The doctors at Revive will ensure your safety by considering the medications you are currently taking before making any new recommendations. Many patients can eliminate medications as their bodies become healthier, but they must do it carefully under the doctor's supervision that prescribed the medication. We are happy to work in conjunction with other doctors so that you get the best treatment possible.
Does Revive Naturopathic Medicine take insurance?
At this time, some insurance companies cover naturopathic services, and others don't. Currently, Revive Naturopathic Medicine, Inc. is not a network provider under any insurance plans. Revive can provide you with a Medical Superbill containing appropriate insurance coding to submit for reimbursement if your insurance plan covers out-of-network naturopathic providers. You're required to pay for services at each appointment. You may also use funds in Flexible Spending Accounts (as well as SOME Health Savings Accounts) for services and products.
How long will it take me to feel better?
Every person is different, and some treatments that we recommend require patients to make changes in lifestyle to be effective. The path to healing is quicker for some than for others.
