Dr. Suzanne
Naturopathic Physican
As a board-certified, licensed, naturopathic physician, my goal is to provide caring, attentive and thorough holistic health care. My practice goals are to promote wellness and prevent and treat disease by employing therapies such as nutrition, lifestyle analysis, herbal medicine, medication prescriptions, homeopathy, intravenous (IV) vitamin injections, and relaxation therapies.
My specialties include Lyme disease and Lyme co-infections; GI diseases incl. SIBO, Candida Issues, toxic mold illness; bio-identical hormone therapy, thyroid imbalances; chronic fatigue syndrome; autoimmune diseases; neurological diseases (MS, Parkinsons, Alzheimers); heavy metal toxicity, chronic pain syndromes, and systemic detoxification.
I am not a primary care doctor. I do not provide primary care services.
I no longer offer the Prescription based HCG diet.
I no longer offer EDTA or DMPS Chelation infusions.
I wholly support integrative medical care (ND-MD), using the best of conventional and naturopathic medical therapies specific for each patient’s health challenge. The therapies I recommend are carefully researched against the most current treatment protocols for each specific disease and specially tailored to the individual patient.
My license in state of Washington allows me to prescribe all non-controlled medications, and limited prescribing for DEA-controlled medications. I prescribe medications as necessary and can help you manage your current prescriptions. I prefer to work collaboratively with your current prescriber (MD, DO, ARNP) if you wish to adjust/decrease your current medications.
