About
Joan Waters, ND
I am a naturopathic doctor in general practice with emphases on gastrointestinal conditions and sleep. I provide you with the tools to live healthfully in this increasingly challenging world. I obtain a comprehensive history and perform a physical exam to determine the systems in your body that are not functioning optimally. With this information, I determine which system likely became imbalanced first. By supporting that system of the body, the other systems affected often correct themselves. As a naturopathic doctor, I seek the source of your health concerns, and then treat the cause.
I work with you to come up with a plan that fits into your lifestyle to provide you with the tools to live healthfully and to prevent health problems in the future.
