Psychiatric support.

Primarily, but not exclusively, through orthomolecular therapy. This treatment can be innovative, successful and life changing.

Nutritional advice.

Diet is perhaps the one most important factor that affects our health, and our doctors and naturopaths have a focused interest in nutrition. We can provide detailed dietary advice, have extensive experience supporting patients with intolerances and other diet restrictions, and offer a range of specific treatment protocols for low FODMAP, GAPS, autoimmune, ketogenic and other dietary requirements.

Natural medicine supplementation.

Some patients suffer from some mild to moderate nutritional deficiencies, and our integrative approach provides support through supplementation when appropriate.

Hormone restoration and therapy.

Using bio-identical hormones and specific testing regimes such as the DUTCH complete test, Dr Nicole Nelson and Naturopath Danielle Roberts specialise in treating autoimmune and thyroid disorders, menopause, ageing, adrenal insufficiency and other hormone related conditions.

Gut health.

We treat a range of gut disorders including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and other digestive disorders.

Antenatal and postnatal care.

Before falling pregnant, it is important that both parents’ health is supported, with supplementation recommended in many cases. We also provide comprehensive care for new families, including specialist support from our midwife and lactation consultant Yvette.

Diabetes reversal and management.

Taking a drug or an injection is only one part of diabetes management – in fact many of our patients are able to reduce and even remove reliance on medication through a combination of diet, exercise, supplementation and other support.

Cancer prevention.

There are range of things you can do to reduce the risk of cancer, yet many of our patients come to our clinic without a thorough understanding of what these are. Our doctors and naturopaths are all trained to provide to support in a range of areas including diet, lifestyle and supplementation to assist in preventing cancer.

Holistic asthma management.

There is more to treating asthma than just medication. We take a holistic approach to the management of this condition, and can help reduce its impact by working on some of the causes and not just the symptoms.

Cardiovascular risk assessment.

There is much more to preventing and treating cardiovascular disease than just controlling high blood pressure or treating cholesterol. We often do start by providing you with a machine to measure your blood pressure for a week to gain a true measure of this important factor, as well as extensive blood testing where appropriate to look for genetic and environmental causes of cardiovascular disease. We then consider a range of options to provide individual support. To find out more, please see our blog on this. Read Blog >

House calls

We are able to visit you at home if you are a registered patient of this practice and you are too sick to come to the surgery. Please ring the receptionist to make a time. Please appreciate that for some types of medical problems, a house call is not in the patient’s best interests due to a lack of medical resources.

We can only offer a home visit at the end of a day, or during standard hours if booked a number of days in advance, as Mark will already have appointments at the surgery booked during normal hours.
