Patients
At Thornhill Naturopathic Health Clinic, we treat the patient, not the symptoms. Living things have an innate ability to heal themselves; therefore, the naturopathic philosophy is to approach the body as a whole entity and to stimulate the natural healing power of the body and treat the underlying root cause of disease. When the body is ill, this is a sign that the body is not functioning properly, perhaps due a number of factors related to poor lifestyle habits, diet, stress, or environmental factors.
At Thornhill Naturopathic Health Clinic, you will be provided with a comprehensive assessment and treatment program. We will work with you to create a customized program of diagnostics and treatments that will assist you in achieving optimal health.

What to Expect - Visit Overview
Initial Visit: 1.5-2 hours
One of the major distinctions between Naturopathic Doctors and other Primary Care Physicians is the amount of time we spend with each patient. At Thornhill Naturopathic Health Clinic the first visit consists of a thorough health history, physical screening exam and laboratory assessment. We can provide provide screening physical exams, gynecological exams, PAP smears and breast exams. We discuss your general health concerns and go through each body system to screen for past and present imbalances. We aim to address all the contributing factors to health- physical, psychological, hereditary, social, spiritual and environmental. In this visit we determine if there is a need for further diagnostic or assessment procedures including any lab work. We ask you to bring any previous lab or diagnostic results from the past year (examples include blood work, diagnostic imaging like x-ray, ultrasound, CT scan or MRI). If no blood work has been done in the past 3 months we may recommend having a CBC (complete blood count) or other labs tests done by requisition through our clinic or by your MD. We discuss your goals, options for treatments, and decide together what the focus of treatment will be. We will begin a basic treatment plan in the first visit.
Laboratory Assessments
We have in- house lab facilities available for some tests and we refer patients for blood, urine and saliva testing to labs in Toronto and throughout North America for specifc diagnostic testing. We use the latest equipment and technology to ensure results are delivered rapidly and accurately to patients.
Functional Terrain Assessments
Your first visit will include a Functional Terrain Assessment. Many of the chronic diseases afflicting our population today are functional in nature. This means that conventional testing is often unable to observe laboratory abnormalities that would allow for diagnosis or assessment. In addition, certain chronic degenerative trends within an individual can lead to various disease states, and resolution of these trends can lead to significant improvements. At Thornhill Naturopathic Health Clinic we use a number of in house tests to assess common degenerative conditions in an individual patient. With this information we can develop comprehensive protocols that address the root cause of diseases in patients.
Functional Terrain Assessments may include:
Koenisberg Test for adrenal health, stress or fatigue, kidney stress, mineral loss from the body and acid-alkaline imbalance.
Urinary Indican Test indicates overgrowth of bacterial organisms in the intestines
Spirometry to test lung capacity and respiratory function.
Sulckowich Test is a simple test to determine the amount of calcium in the blood by testing for calcium in the urine.
Zinc Tally test to measure zinc deficiencies
Salivary and Urine pH to assess acid alkaline imbalance
Second Visit: 1 hour
This visit is usually 1 to 2 weeks after the first visit and includes any additional physical examinations required and a review of lab or diagnostic testing. In this visit we also discuss progress from the initial visit, and any questions or concerns that may come up. We usually begin implementing a more detailed treatment plan in this visit.
Follow up visits: 1/2 hour or 1 hour
The frequency and duration of follow up visits varies according to your specific treatment plan. Thirty to forty five minute follow ups are mainly to monitor progress, add /or modify treatment plans or for follow-up acupuncture treatments. Hour long follow up visits are recommended for initial acupuncture treatments, any bodywork, or physical medicine, intravenous therapy or if there are deep rooted or numerous health concerns we are working through. Some individuals prefer weekly or biweekly follow up appointments if there is an acute condition present, if they are participating in a special detox, weight loss or smoking cessation program or if there are a number of health concerns to work through. Other patients may chose to follow up once a month or every few months once they are feeling stable, healthy and happy. We recommend patients follow up at least once a year to maintain optimum health.
Please contact the clinic for further inquiries and more information regarding fees and insurance. Please note that Naturopathic visits are not covered by OHIP but are covered by most extended health plans.
Please call or email with any questions or to schedule an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you.
