- At Vashon Natural Medicine
we are dedicated to the art and science of natural medicine, blending cutting edge research with age-old wisdom. We believe in the concept of doctor as teacher and empowering individuals on the journey to health and optimal vitality. - Philosophy
Vashon Natural Medicine’s mission is to provide natural health care for the whole family. At Vashon Natural Medicine each patient receives compassionate care, and the opportunity to become educated in the process of health and recovery. We endeavor to honor each patient’s individuality and promote the patient’s own natural healing abilities. - Treatment
Naturopathic physicians search first for the least intrusive methods of treatment with the lowest risk of side effects. You'll be encouraged to become a partner in your health care, actively making decisions with the guidance of your physician. The specific therapies Dr. Wright and Dr. Obertacz use to help reestablish health include nutrition, therapeutic supplementation, lifestyle counseling, herbal medicine, homeopathy, bio-identical hormone treatment, and pharmaceutical drugs when appropriate. Dr. Obertacz is also a licensed acupuncturist and uses oriental medicine in her approach to health care. - Practitioners
