Common Questions
Answers to what patients most commonly ask before their first visit.
Can Dr. MacLeod review my blood work?
Yes. Bring any recent results to your initial visit. Dr. MacLeod will review and explain them alongside your health history, symptoms and medications.
Is naturopathic care covered by insurance?
Yes, most extended health insurance plans cover naturopathic visits. We offer direct billing for many major insurers to make the process convenient for you.
Do you work alongside my family doctor?
Absolutely. Naturopathic care is most effective as part of a coordinated care approach. I regularly share findings and treatment summaries with family doctors and specialists when patients consent. While naturopathic doctors don't have direct referral privileges in Nova Scotia, I actively communicate with other healthcare providers to help facilitate appropriate referrals where needed.
