Virtual Naturopathic Care
As the world shifted to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare services started to expand beyond in-person appointments to continue providing effective care. According to the guidelines from the Ontario Ministry of Health, substitution and elimination of in-person visits with virtual (online) consults when safe to do so are still considered the most effective means of minimizing COVID-19 transmission. Unlike panic, covid cannot be transmitted through the internet.
At Natural Route Health, it is our utmost priority to provide safe and effective care to patients. Therefore, Dr. Reecha continues to offer virtual naturopathic appointments as her primary means of delivering naturopathic care.

With virtual care, you can receive much of the naturopathic care you need without having to leave your home. Accessing virtual naturopathic services does not change the effectiveness of your care.

Virtual consults are provided through a secure online video platform. This ensures that your medical information remains safe and confidential.
