Hi everyone,

I am scheduled to talk to a local naturopathic doctor for my dad tomorrow, and was wondering if any of you can offer some advice as to what types of questions I should be asking.

Thanks,

    I would like to know how many office visits are required, and if they are available by telephone,
    charges if any, and some idea of a treatment timeline; how long before results, etc.
    I would also want to know what kind of experience they have which is directly related to crc, and what was thier protocol, etc.
    I'm sure you will get a big response to this post
    from folks who have a more direct experience with NPs, but you might also try a google search for
    "Questions for Naturopathic Doctor.." , or some such phrase..I got a lot of hits with that phrase.. Bud
