Naturopathic Physician

Anyone in the US ever seen a naturopathic doctor? what is the physical exam like? I know that in some states they are not licensed to practice, but in others they are.

Appreciate your insights.

Naturopathic physicians are licensed in all Canadian provinces, but anyone expecting a medfet-type experience from a visit to one may be disappointed. The first consultation is usually lengthy - around one and a half hours - but is almost entirely taken up with the physician making detailed enquiries about the patient's medical history, lifestyle and current complaints. There may be a brief physical examination - blood pressure and auscultation, but not much more.

Subsequent visits are much shorter, mainly to check on the patient's progress. At each visit the physician may prescribe herbal or homeopathic remedies, and some are qualified in acupuncture, physical therapy or other specialties.
