Are there any contracts or membership fees involved in seeing Dr Martha? Ethics pledge/commitment: At Dr. Martha LLC, we prioritize your health by maintaining a transparent fee-for-service model, free from financial conflicts of interest. Unlike many practices—whether conventional, functional, or naturopathic—that require expensive memberships or that profit from selling retail products, we believe that your payment should reflect the care and expertise you receive, not the sale of expensive tests, supplements, medications, or treatments. In today’s insurance-driven system, doctors are often pressured to see more patients in less time, which compromises care. We understand that paying out of pocket isn’t ideal, but it ensures that we can give you the time and attention needed for truly effective care. With us, you’re investing in personalized, high-quality healthcare—without hidden costs, product sales, or long-term contracts. Our commitment is clear: No gimmicks, no sales—just honest, compassionate care designed to help you live your healthiest, longest life.

What is a Naturopathic Doctor? Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are licensed healthcare professionals who combine the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. Our approach is rooted in whole-person care and the integration of natural treatments with conventional medical practices when appropriate.
Education and Training NDs complete a four-year, graduate-level program at an accredited naturopathic medical school earning a doctorate degree. The curriculum covers the same basic sciences as conventional medical schools, with additional focus on natural therapies and holistic patient care.
Clinical Rotations Hands-on clinical experience is a crucial component of our training. NDs undergo extensive clinical rotations, allowing us to apply our knowledge in real-world healthcare settings and develop essential diagnostic and patient management skills.
Board Examinations To ensure the highest standards of care, NDs must pass comprehensive licensing board examinations before practicing. These rigorous tests evaluate our medical knowledge, clinical skills, and ability to make sound healthcare decisions.
Our Approach As NDs, we are committed to: 1. Treating the whole person, not just symptoms 2. Identifying and addressing the root causes of illness 3. Emphasizing prevention and wellness 4. Integrating natural therapies with conventional medicine when beneficial 5. Empowering patients through education and lifestyle counseling Whether you're seeking primary care or complementary support for your health journey, a Naturopathic Doctor can provide personalized, evidence-based care that addresses your unique needs.
