Requires an initial visit to review your full health history and review of your bloodwork records from the last two years.
Existing Naturopathic Patients
Schedule a brief 15 minute appointment with your Naturopathic Doctor and bring bloodwork records from the last two years.
For some of our more gentle and straightforward IVs, we offer a quick 15-minute Initial IV bloodwork review + IV treatment in one appointment. If interested please call us to see if you are a good candidate for this.
