Every patient has individual needs and challenges and will resonate with and respond to different therapies. They deserve to work with a provider willing to listen and address the whole person, and to empower them with the tools needed to achieve their personal health goals. 

Dr. Ferris will work with the patient to tailor their treatment plans based on their preferences and may utilize multiple treatment options including:

​

• Lifestyle modifications (nutrition, exercise, sleep)

• Mindfulness (meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy)

Important note from Dr. Ferris:

As a naturopathic physician licensed in Oregon, my scope of practice is limited to patients who live in that state. Although I cannot diagnose or treat you if you live outside of Oregon, I can complete a highly detailed investigation, including a history with laboratory analysis.
 

From this body of information, I will create a comprehensive plan of treatment suggestions for you to discuss with your local clinician. If you choose to do so, you may continue to follow-up with me.

 

Tele-video conferencing is available and recommended for individuals who live outside of Oregon.
