I highly recommend Dr. Kate. My wife and I use her as our PCP, as well as our pediatrician for 3 kids (6,4 and newborn). She is a real gem and we are lucky to have her.

You will find that the world of naturopathic medicine is much different from what you are used to at the regular doctor’s office. Here is how:
- Dr. Sage tries her absolute best to stay on time. Except for unusual circumstances, your appointment will actually start at your appointment time.
- She does not have a nurse or medical assistant. She does all of the history taking and physical exams herself.
- She is not rushed. The first appointment is a whole hour so she can get to know you and your child, take a full history and perform any necessary exams. After she will work with you to develop a treatment plan that will work for you and your child. Follow-up visits are either 30 or 60mins.
- She is available outside of patient visits. Dr. Sage can be reached on an after-hour cell if you have medical concerns outside of regular business hours.
