How do NDs interact with other health professionals?
Naturopathic physicians could function within an integrated framework by cross-referring patients to and from other practitioners, such as MDs, specialists, DOs, psychotherapists, and chiropractors. Also, naturopathic therapies can be employed to complement conventional medical treatments. The result is a team-care approach that recognizes the needs of the patient to receive the best overall treatment most appropriate to his or her specific medical condition.
