Natural treatments address the root cause of your health problem, they don't just mask the symptoms. Dr. Pamela Frank uses a natural treatment approach that may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, diet, vitamins, supplements, and other natural remedies.
My story
I worked as a medical laboratory technologist at Humber River Regional Hospital from 1984 to 2004 (overlapping with my career as a naturopathic doctor). I entered that field because I've had a keen interest in healthcare since I was 7 years old. My earliest career aspiration was to be a nurse.
After 20 years as a lab tech, the automation of that field made the job no longer intellectually stimulating. While looking for a new career in healthcare, a friend pushed me to see a naturopathic doctor myself. I was initially resistant, but because I had coverage, eventually I went. Because of the astounding success of that treatment, I realized that my calling was to become a naturopathic doctor. I had always had a passion for health, fitness, and healthy eating. Naturopathic medicine combines these passions beautifully. I am also the proud mom of a wonderful son. When I'm not working I'm at the gym, the library, at ballroom dance lessons, in the karate dojo, or on the tennis courts.
Am I the best naturopath for you?
I am if you are looking for experience, a root-cause approach and you want to integrate the best, most scientifically validated natural treatment into your healthcare regimen.
