“My health struggles led me to naturopathic medicine. At one time, my resolve and willpower were tested by my own health problems. I am familiar with the look and feel of illness. To regain my health, I employed a multidisciplinary integrative approach.  In a nutshell, reclaiming my health was a process of hard work. I went back to school to get a naturopathic medical degree after regaining control over my health and life. If it seems complicated for your health and to return to how it was in the past or even for you to achieve a point where you can feel comfortable in your body, I would wait a short while before drawing any solid conclusions. Let’s chat first”

Our Approach

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a sophisticated form of medicine. The guiding principles of naturopathic medicine are to do no harm, trust in the body’s wisdom to repair itself, prevent disease, treat the whole person, address the underlying cause, and educate.

Natural treatment approaches and cutting-edge research are combined in naturopathic medicine to create the best possible treatment plan for each patient. Naturopathic doctors expertly design, customize, and adapt treatment plans to meet the needs of the individual while considering their biological, physiological, and social histories.

Our Toolkit consists of many modalities such as nutrition counseling, lifestyle modification, botanical medicine, homeopathy, nutraceuticals, cellular medicine, detoxification, IV therapy and vitamin shots, regenerative medicine, allopathic treatment, and physical medicine are only a few possible interventions.

Thanks to their extensive education and knowledge, naturopathic doctors can assist patients in attaining optimal health. Our licensed Naturopathic Doctors use conventional and advanced laboratory testing and clinical assessment to find inadequacies contributing to the disease process. It is critical to identify the underlying imbalance, eliminate any barriers impeding the body from functioning to its designed potential, and put the whole body back in a healthy, dynamic equilibrium. In addition, Dr. Rasha El Naggar provides integrative medical care for the entire family, from infants to the elderly.

Our Process

At Our Clinic, we operate differently! Addressing the disease's root cause is one of the tenets of naturopathic treatment. This sets us apart from other medical approaches.

We delve deeper through the collection of medical history and the use of cutting-edge lab tests in order to produce long-lasting outcomes. This advanced assessment allows for localizing inadequacies in the physiological and functional operations of the body. Once we've analyzed the subjective and objective information, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan to help you restore optimal health.

Accordingly, particularly in chronic, challenging-to-treat, or stealth infections, we utilize the following process.

Initial consultation

During the initial appointment, patients can freely express themselves and discuss their health objectives. At the end of the initial consultation, we will order basic and functional lab tests and provide a limited-scope treatment plan according to medical standards of care

Lab testing

The patient and the doctor will choose which functional lab test will be the most appropriate and pertinent after reviewing the patient's objectives and top priorities. Our providers will instruct the patient on how to order the labs at the first appointment.

Follow-up consultation

Our providers will explain in detail the results of the basic and functional lab tests and provide a thorough treatment plan. We will discuss the entire treatment plan and, accordingly, describe its implementation's timing.
