Gig Harbor Natural Medicine

Gig Harbor Naturopathic Medicine has provided naturopathic services to the community for over 40 years. The practice offers traditional naturopathic medical care for patients of all ages, aiming to be a partner and guide in each individual's journey to wellness. Initial appointments include a full medical history review to help identify the root causes of current health concerns.

The clinic's scope of practice in Washington State includes functioning as primary care physicians. They can conduct annual physical exams, order blood work, provide referrals for tests like mammograms or X-rays, and prescribe medications (excluding controlled substances). While they prioritize natural methods, they can help identify when prescription medication may be beneficial.

Services include general naturopathic medical care, naturopathic pediatrics, laboratory testing and interpretation, and bio-identical hormones. They also offer B12 injections, diathermy, lymphatic drainage with Flowpresso, constitutional hydrotherapy, infrared therapy, and BrainTap Audio Therapy. The team, including Dr. Leslie Charles and Dr. Jeanette Dok, emphasizes personalized, patient-centered care and finding the root cause of symptoms.

They address a wide range of conditions, such as digestive issues (IBS, SIBO), food allergies, menopause, women's health concerns (PMS), thyroid disorders (Hashimoto's), diabetes, cardiovascular disease, eczema, asthma, allergies, insomnia, and mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. They also treat ADD/ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, chronic fatigue, mold toxicity, and autoimmune conditions.
