Dr. Sam Bowen
Welcome! I’m Dr. Sam Bowen, a licensed naturopathic doctor offering virtual and in-person naturopathic care to residents of British Columbia. Although trained to support a variety of health concerns, my clinical focus is around optimizing the health of women. This includes, but not limited to:
Menstrual Health – PMS | Irregular menses | Painful menses | PCOS | Endometriosis | Fertility | Recurrent miscarriage
General Health – Digestive concerns | Thyroid disease | Fatigue | Stress & Burnout | Sleep concerns| Immune support
Virtual Naturopathic Services
Along with other licensed health care providers, naturopathic doctors have shifted to incorporate virtual care as a way to further support more patients. For many of us, our health is our number one priority, yet distance is often a barrier to receiving the care we need. I’m pleased to offer virtual care to all residents of British Columbia.
The Benefits of Virtual Naturopathic Consultations
There are benefits to both in-person and online naturopathic consultations and the choice to select one over the other is dependent on patient preference or what needs to be accomplished during that appointment.
Location & Schedule Flexibility
Online naturopathic appointments allow for more flexibility within your schedule. Whether you are at work or at home, you can easily book in with an online naturopathic doctor during a time that fits best with your busy schedule. Online consultations also take commuting and waiting room times out of the equation in order to maximize your time spent. For patients who do not live in Vancouver BC, virtual appointments are a great option to still receive naturopathic care.
Comfort
A virtual appointment with a naturopathic doctor allows for you to have naturopathic treatment from the comfort of your home. Many people enjoy having an online consultation at home where they feel most relaxed and comfortable.
Safe and Secure Video Platform
All virtual consultations are conducted over a safe and secure video platform. This ensures that your medical information remains safe and confidential. In addition, your treatment plan and any lab tests required after your virtual naturopathic appointment can be securely uploaded to your patient portal for you to easily access.
What can't be done through virtual naturopathic consultations?
Throughout our care together, a physical examination may be warranted. In these cases, you will need to visit the office for the assessment or have the assessment performed by another medical professional. Physical exam assessments are an integral part of patient care and need to conducted when medically necessary. Learn more about the benefits of virtual and in-person naturopathic medicine.
Ready to book your first visit online?
All new patients begin with a free discovery call. The purpose of the discovery call is to learn more about your health goals and to determine if I am the right practitioner for the care that you need. If we proceed with booking an initial consultation, we will also discuss your preference for either an in-person or virtual naturopathic appointment. I offer in-person appointments at Humanity Wellness located in Vancouver. Together, we will create the perfect treatment plan for you.
