What to Expect
The Integrative Oncology Process
Your Consultation
Your first appointment is for us to get to know you. Your provider will ask you about your health concerns, medical history, and prescribed medicines and treatments. We’ll do a thorough examination, but we also need to hear from the only expert on you. Our physicians go the extra mile to make sure you feel truly listened to and seen.
Your Treatment
Cookie cutters are for cookies, not people. Your treatment is uniquely your own, custom made to support your physical, mental, and spiritual needs. Our multidisciplinary team of change-makers provide effective treatments anchored in science, both conventional and alternative.
Your Wellness Journey
Whole-person healing takes a village, and your Village is here to support you every step of the way—through the highs and the lows. Optimizing your health for the long run takes more than a couple of one-off treatments. It takes dedicated healthcare professionals with a passion for helping you get the most out of life.
At Village Medicine, we assist in restoring your body’s natural balance and its innate ability to heal itself by optimizing your cellular function.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Genes
- Environmental factors
- Lifestyle
- Diet
- Smoking
- Exposure to dangerous chemicals and radiation
- Long-term inflammation
- Untreated medical conditions
- Should I trust the natural cures on the internet?
-
It’s not a good idea to rely on the internet (or TikTok) as your main source of information. At Village Medicine, we take an evidence-based integrative approach to treatment, combining the best of conventional, naturopathic, and alternative therapies to provide the best outcomes.
- What is naturopathic oncology?
-
Naturopathic Oncology is an interdisciplinary field that unites conventional cancer treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, with evidence-based complementary therapies. Its overarching goal is to address not only the disease itself but also the diverse needs of the patient. This approach encompasses managing immediate and long-term side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, enhancing quality of life, and promoting overall health to reduce risk of future recurrence.
