Naturopathic medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health and treating illness. Using natural substances and treatments, Dr. Orest Szczurko, ND, MSc supports and stimulates the body's ability to heal itself.
The primary goal of our naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of illness, rather than simply treat or suppress symptoms. The patient is seen as a whole person and Dr. Orest takes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions into account when diagnosing and developing a treatment plan.
The primary therapies used by Dr. Orest are: clinical nutrition (oral and intravenous when needed), botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine, acupuncture and oriental medicine, physical therapies and counselling.
While the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover Naturopathic Doctor visits, visits to a Naturopath are paid for by most health insurance plans provided by employers. Naturopathic visits can also be claimed on Canadian taxes as medical expenses.

Therefore the physician must come from nature, with an open mind."
