If you could find a doctor who would really listen to your health concerns, evaluate the underlying causes of your condition,
            and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan using safe and effective natural medicines, would you want to work
            with that doctor? 
            
            If your answer is YES, then welcome to “Healthcare in Harmony with Nature” and the practice of Dr. Sally
            LaMont. 
            
            
            
            Working with the Healing Power of Nature 
            
            We each possess a strong healing force within, which when properly supported will bring us into a state of balanced health.
            As a Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.) and Acupuncturist (L.Ac.), I will view your condition through the lens of both Western Naturopathic
            Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, then blend their resources to create a program unique to your needs. 
            
            
            Building a Partnership for Health 
            
            Getting to know you takes time. My initial office visit is two hours long. During this time together, I will listen to your
            story, take a detailed health and lifestyle history, review or order the appropriate lab tests, do a brief exam, and give
            you a relaxing acupuncture treatment.  My goal is  to build a collaborative relationship with you, and coach you to make the
            kinds of changes in your diet and lifestyle that will result in improved health. 
            
            
            
            Functional Laboratory Testing  
            
            
            
            To assist in accurately diagnosing your condition, we may choose from an array of cutting edge, "functional" laboratory tests
            that can detect abnormalities before end-stage pathology develops. Such tests range from conventional blood and urine tests
            to more progressive salivary hormone, adrenal and neurotransmitter testing, food sensitivity testing, genetic testing and
            digestive stool analysis. 
            
            
            
            Integrative Treatment 
            
            
            After an in-depth review of all the information collected, I will present a written Report of Findings at your second visit.
            This Report of Findings will integrate your Western Naturopathic and Traditional Chinese Medical diagnoses and detail the
            specific dietary changes needed, along with the appropriate nutritional and herbal supplements, acupuncture treatments and
            any other recommended approaches. If you need the services of another practitioner who specializes in a specific area, I will
            be happy to make the referral and coordinate your care with them. 
            
            
            Commonly Treated Conditions  
            
            
            Over the last 25 years, I have treated a wide range of conditions, from acute to chronic. In naturopathic medicine, there
            is an old adage that states: “The road to health is paved with good digestion”. Naturally, I work with a variety
            of digestive problems. Their resolution leads to an improvement in an array of other conditions. I have had excellent results
            with headaches, insomnia and depression, arthritis and osteoporosis, cardiovascular problems, immune problems and asthma,
            PMS and menopause, diabetes and many other chronic degenerative conditions. 
            
            To learn more about naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and getting started in my practice, please read on. I look forward
            to the opportunity to work with you! 
            
            In health,
            
            Dr. Sally LaMont
