Naturopathic Medical Visit

Free 15-minute consultation: 

A free consult is offered to all prospective patients to answer any questions you may have about Dr. Murray or the practice prior to your first visit.
Feel free to call the office at (603) 583-8854 or contact us to set one up - either in person or on the phone. We look forward to speaking with you.

First office visit:
A naturopathic medical visit is much like a visit to any other doctor, however the biggest difference you will notice is time and attention.

The first visit will last approximately 90 minutes. The reason for this is to establish a solid doctor-patient relationship. This time period will include a thorough medical history (to make sure that you are taken in to account, not just your symptoms), as well as performing necessary physical exams and/or ordering necessary tests. A basic, foundational treatment plan will be delivered based on our conversation as well as some patient education surrounding the treatment choices.

Notes From Dr. Murray:

• I try to make the first treatment plan foundational so that it will not overwhelm you but will complement and support whatever you already may be doing for your health.
• If you are taking medications or have an extensive medical history, I will do more thorough research outside of our visit to ensure that there are no interactions between any of my recommendations and any medications.
• I call and/or message all my new patients within the week to answer any questions or concerns that may have arisen after the visit ended. There will be no charge for this initial follow up phone call.

Follow up Visit: 
This visit will be 30-45 minutes in length and are usually scheduled 2-4 weeks after the initial visit, but dependent on the issue. This will be to assess the status of the patient, the progress of the treatment plan, review and discuss any lab results, and answer any questions the patient may have.

Many patients follow up monthly or every 2 months to re-assess progress and edit the treatment plan accordingly. This will vary depending on the situation.
Phone follow-ups are also available for a fee.
