FAQ

Wellness Questions

A first visit is a consultation, not a treatment. You discuss your goals, health history, current medications and supplements, and any recent bloodwork you bring. Depending on what you book, this is with Dr. Ekaterina Krantsevich Riehl, ND or with a physician. You then hear which options may fit, what each involves and its risks, and whether your family doctor is the better first step. The first visit is usually longer than follow-ups.
An ND is a regulated health professional trained in naturopathic medicine. In BC, NDs are regulated by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC. Dr. Krantsevich Riehl is an ND, not a medical physician. Her visits focus on health history, sleep, stress, digestion, nutrition and lifestyle. She does not replace your physician for diagnosis or ongoing medical care.
Not always. Recent results you already have can be reviewed at your visit. Where it is clinically appropriate, a physician may order blood tests and go through the results with you before any plan is suggested. Tests are chosen for your situation, not as a standard panel.
Some concerns overlap. For example, thinning hair or changes in skin quality can be linked to sleep, stress, nutrition or other health factors. Where it fits, a wellness visit can be coordinated with aesthetic care at the clinic, such as PRP for thinning hair. You are never required to combine them, and any treatment is explained, with its risks, before you decide.
See your family doctor, or seek urgent care, first if you have new, unexplained or rapidly worsening symptoms, or a condition that needs ongoing medical management. Wellness visits here complement, and do not replace, that care, and we will tell you when something is outside our scope.
