Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, absolutely! I know that choosing a new healthcare provider can be nerve-wracking. You can book a free 15 minute consultation on the scheduling page or by emailing me at drgettman@summersunintegrative.com.

Do you take insurance?

My practice is cash-based and I do not take insurance. Some insurances allow for out-of-network visits with naturopathic doctors and a superbill can be provided to you. You should check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage.

If you live in Arizona, I can see you for a specific health concern or as a Primary Care Physician. If you live in Vermont or Washington, DC, I can see you for a specific health concern however, you must maintain a relationship with a Primary Care Physician. If you live in certain other states, I can provide health coaching ONLY and you must maintain a relationship with a Primary Care Provider in your state.

I have another question. How can I contact you?

Frequently Asked Questions- Dr. Gettman, Naturopathic Doctor

FAQs

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a holistic practice of medicine that combines the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. Licensed naturopathic doctors (NDs) focus on six main principles: prevention, identifying and treating the root cause of illness, harnessing the healing power of nature, treating the whole person rather than a collection of symptoms, providing education about health, and doing no harm.

Licensed naturopathic doctors attend rigorous post-graduate medical education at accredited naturopathic medical schools. We train as evidence-based primary care providers to effectively diagnose and treat acute and chronic illnesses. Our comprehensive training includes clinical rotations in academic and community medical centers, plus board examinations in pathology, microbiology, anatomy, physiology, immunology, botanical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, minor surgery, pharmacology, physical manipulation, homeopathy, counseling, IV therapy, and clinical nutrition.

What Can You Expect From Dr. Gettman's Naturopathic Care?

1. Comprehensive Whole-Person Healthcare

You deserve a healthcare provider who listens to your complete health story. I take a thoughtful, integrative approach that addresses you as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms.

2. Transparent, Clear Communication

Expect honest, clear communication about your lab results, diagnoses, treatment plans, and health journey. (And yes, your cat is definitely cute!)

3. Personalized, Realistic Treatment Plans

I only recommend treatments I believe in and have experience with. Rather than pursuing perfect health, I focus on realistic, sustainable changes that align with your personal health goals and lifestyle.

4. Accessible, Convenient Care

Healthcare shouldn't be limited to business hours. Established patients have access to evening and weekend appointments and portal messaging for concerns and follow-up questions.

5. Healing Through Joy

Laughter, play, adventure, and time in nature are powerful medicines. Expect some ‘dad jokes’ and a focus on bringing joy into your healing journey!
