We are contracted with many major companies and many insurance plans are now offering coverage for Acupuncture and some alternative therapies.

We focus on optimizing the body’s functioning and promote its own healing ability. The main goal is to establish the foundations of health including improving diet, digestion and elimination, detoxification, hormonal balance, sleep, and relieving pain and stress. We can help facilitate healing whether you are seeking relief from acute illnesses or pain such as the common cold, allergies, sinus infections, back pain or headaches or chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hormone imbalances, digestive disorders, degenerative disease or life threatening illness.

See What We Treat

Before your visit you will be asked to fill out a comprehensive intake form to give us a more complete picture of your health history. You will bring any labs or diagnostic reports, supplements, medications and questions you might have to your first visit. Your first visit will usually take about an hour and a half at which time we will review your health concerns, history, lab results, supplements and medications. We will talk about your goals and customize a plan of action most appropriate for your needs. Follow-up visits usually last about an hour and tele-health visits are available upon request.

The practice of Naturopathic Medicine is legally prohibited in the state of Florida. Florida has not licensed new Naturopathic Physicians since 1959 so I am not licensed as a Naturopathic Physician in Florida. I keep my Naturopathic Physician’s license current in Vermont while we try to reopen licensure in this state. Currently, I practice under the scope of my Acupuncture Physician’s License. The scope of practice for the acupuncture license is very good in Florida. We are considered Primary Care Physicians so we can treat patients without a referral (unless you insurance requires one). The scope of practice includes the ability to order specialized functional medicine testing as well as conventional diagnostic tests, prescribe glandulars, nutritional supplements, herbal and homeopathic medicines, provide Biopuncture, nutritional and prolotherapy injection therapies, counsel on nutrition and healthy lifestyle and perform physical and mind body medicine. For a full description of the Acupuncture Physician scope of practice visit MyFlorida.com and search for the Acupuncture License statutes and rules.

The FNPA (Florida Naturopathic Physicians Association) consisting of other 4-year Naturopathic Medical School graduates are currently working to re-establish licensure for Naturopathic Physicians in Florida. There have not been any new Naturopathic Physicians licensed in Florida since 1959 when the state legislature closed the ability to grant new licenses. Today, with the overwhelming popularity of a more natural approach to medicine and the need for physician-level practitioners in natural medicine there is growing support for our efforts to reopen Naturopathic Physician licensure in Florida. If you’d like to find out more and help re-establish licensure, please visit the Florida Naturopathic Physicians Association website.
