Health Interview
The primary method used to reach a naturopathic diagnosis is listening to the concerns of the patient. The patterns of signs and symptoms are messages from the body that provide clues about the root cause of the dysfunction. A Naturopathic Doctor uses their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry while paying close attention to a person's health story in order to determine the underlying issues affecting that person's health.
Physical Examination
A Naturopathic Doctor utilizes standard medical physical exams that may be familiar from visits to a medical doctor - eye, ear, nose, throat, lung, heart, etc. The physical exam may also include tongue and pulse observation from a Traditional Asian Medicine perspective, and basic constitutional Iridology.
Laboratory Testing
Dr Stark will work with your medical doctor to obtain past blood work or imaging studies, or to request pertinent medical tests that may not have been done.
Specialized testing is also available through Dr Stark including blood food sensitivity, saliva hormones, neurotransmitters, hair minerals, urine and stool heavy metals, stool digestive analysis, and more.
(These tests and pricing will be updated on this website soon.)
