A note from Dr. Erika Krumbeck:

Have you ever wondered what a naturopathic physician like myself discusses at a well-child check?  Naturopathic physicians typically spend 45 minutes to an hour in well child visits.  We spend this extra time with families because our goal is not just to treat sick kids, but to keep kids from getting sick in the first place. A naturopathic physician always focuses on prevention – whether it be food allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity or a host of other chronic health conditions.  Prevention of disease starts in infancy! 

Naturopathic physicians treat the whole – the whole person AND the whole family.  Naturopathic physicians treat the cause, not just the symptom of the problem.  And best of all, naturopathic physicians have lots of natural tricks and tips to keep kids healthy.

All of this starts on your child’s very first day of life!

This Well Child Guide is a window into my office – a peek at what I normally discuss during well child visits with my patients.  It contains a naturopathic perspective on health for kids at their particular developmental stage.   I also compiled many useful pieces of information into one place.
