Every Patient Has a Story

My patients are a source of inspiration and hope for me. Below are some words from my patients on how Naturopathic Medicine has helped them in their healing journey. If you would like to share your words, to inspire and motivate others, I welcome your emails.

Meeting with Priya gives a whole new meaning to "personal attention." Not only does she make you feel like you are her only patient, but she gives you the needed time to explain your ailments and concerns, and she listens, not in a rushed manner like most doctors. She looks for the root of the problem, she just doesn't scratch the surface. She is patient and non-judgmental. - L.N., London

Priya is an amazing doctor. What I like about her is she listens to what is going on in your life which helps her determine how she can help you. It is not just a pain here or there, it is a whole body interest. Naturopathic medicine has saved me from using a lot of traditional medicine and given my body the strength to do what it needs to do. We learn with naturopathic medicine how to take care of our bodies and what things we normally think are what we need, in fact harm us. Just remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained. - P.H., Lucan

Having utilized the expertise of a naturopath for my children from the beginning of their lives has been a life-enhancing and health promoting experience for us all. My kids occasionally get illnesses that are traditionally treated with antibiotics, but I am proud to say that almost all of them have been treated naturally, allowing the body to heal itself. Ear aches, tonsillitis, and even strep throat have all been managed with Dr. Joshi's advice. Our experience with Dr. Joshi has proven her to be compassionate and thorough, looking at the whole person - and seeking out the source of unwellness, rather than masking the symptoms that indicate an imbalance on some level. We rely on our ND as our primary health care provider. - L.C., London
