Questions/Answers

Vaccines are a hot topic today, whether in regards to childhood vaccination or the COVID vaccines. The information circulating can be overwhelming with so many different opinions and significant confusion about who to trust. Vaccines are one of my favorite pediatric topics to talk to parents about because there are so many ways to be empowered with your vaccination choices.

In our vaccine consult, we will discuss the current recommended vaccines and come up with a schedule as needed, as well as any individualized support that may be beneficial for your child.

As a naturopathic doctor I am well equipped to sit down with you to discuss your options for your child and set a plan to move forward that you feel good about.

Because we do not administer vaccines at our office nor offer urgent or emergency medicine, it is still a good idea to
establish care with a pediatrician.

Dr. Natasha and Dr Jordi can perform well-child exams and can also work in conjunction with your child’s pediatrician. She can also refer to specialists as needed. We will always work to find the best plan of care for you and your child.

Our approach integrates evidence-based practices from both worlds, ensuring that your child receives comprehensive and effective treatment options.

Time is set aside for your one to one appointment with your doctor to review your child’s current concerns, past medical concerns and to answer any pressing questions.

Your doctor will want to learn how your child is doing since the last time you met.

Your doctor will review the recommended treatment plan to ensure you have been able to follow it and that you don’t have any questions if continued treatment in necessary.

Based on how your child is doing, further modifications of your original treatment plan may be made in order to provide continued improvement with your child’s symptoms.

Any and all questions will be answered during ongoing appointments. The goal is to help relieve current symptoms your child may be experiencing, along with provide long term care to optimize health and prevent long term illness.

In the case of any medical emergency, you should always dial 911, visit an emergency room or urgent care facility.

For non-urgent matters pertaining to your previous visit or treatment plan, you can call us during our business hours or send us a short message through your Patient Portal and we will get back to you as soon as possible (usually within two business days).

For non-urgent matters regarding a new question or concern between your follow-up visits, we offer limited brief appointments. These questions often deserve more attention than a quick message reply. These brief appointments can be in-person, on video chat or on the phone for 5-15 minutes. This allows time for your doctor to review your chart and fully answer your question in-between your follow-up appointments. Reading and responding to long messages takes us away from our scheduled patients so thank you for understanding and agreeing to our messaging policy.
