Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) have completed 4 years of full-time medical school and are trained as general practitioners. Further to this NDs are educated extensively in each of the following modalities: herbalism, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, nutrition and physical medicine, including chiropractics and massage therapy. Although trained in many of these tools, NDs in Ohio are currently restricted in their practice and cannot diagnose or utilize treatment methods such as acupuncture, massage, and chiropractics. Dr. Samuelson refers to many local qualified practitioners in circumstances where these modalities are indicated.​ Click here for more detailed information on licensing and qualifications.​

In America, there are currently 20 states that recognize ND's as primary care physicians. The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) is determined to make all 50 states licensed by 2025. Click here for more information. ​ Currently, Ohio is not licensed but we are a growing number of doctors working to get licensed in the near future.
