Dr. Purdy’s Approach
Your first visit will be 60 minutes in duration, during which Dr. Purdy will go through an extensive intake process including your current health concerns, past medical history, and other relevant information. A focused physical exam may also be performed. A treatment plan may be initiated during the first visit, but in some cases, Dr Purdy will take time to analyze your case and schedule a second appointment (45 minutes) to discuss a treatment strategy tailored to your needs.
First follow-up appointment: 45 minutes in duration and will be scheduled as needed.
Acupuncture appointments are 45 minutes in duration and are scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, for best results.
Combining traditional and evidence-based treatments, Dr Purdy uses the following types of treatments:
Nutrition and dietary changes
Support and counseling to make lifestyle changes
Mind Body Medicine, looking at the emotional link to disease
Brainspotting
Botanical medicine (medicinal herbs)
Supplements (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.)
Acupuncture
Injection therapies (Vitamin B12 and others)
The practice of Naturopathic Medicine is a science, where treatments are founded in scientific research, and it is also an art, where each person’s story will play a role in how they heal and in what type of therapy is required. The broad scope of therapies that can be used allows Dr Purdy to create a unique approach to each person’s treatment.
