Naturopathic Doctors are trained and licensed primary health care practitioners in BC, who can assess, diagnose, and treat your health concerns. The main differ...ences between an ND and an MD include the philosophy of healing we use as ND's: natural treatments first, pharmaceuticals and surgery generally as a last resort, longer more personalized healthcare visits, we treat the person as a whole - including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects, and the fact that in general, a visit with an ND is currently not covered by the government medical plan. Most of us, however, provide direct billing to your extended healthcare plan. There is alot of misinformation out there, so please - if you have other questions about how I can help you with your healthcare needs, please feel free to contact me. I am happy to serve you. www.donnaogdennaturopathicdoctor.ca Book online via this website or call me at 778 966 1428. Dr Donna Ogden, ND, MSc. In Sooke & Victoria, BC.

It takes a ton of executive functioning for us to be able to focus, plan, and adapt. Whenever we’re focusing that much, and there’s that much change, it’s exhausting. And then we’re also disconnected from our community So not only are we tired and stressed, but then we can’t necessarily do the things that we would normally do to manage that stress.
