Philosophy

 

A number of principles are at the heart of Goulds Natural Medicine Clinic:

Patient-centred healthcare – We strive to provide care that is respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient values, needs and preferences.
Individualised care - Lifestyle, dietary, supplemental and herbal recommendations catered to your unique needs. 
Collaborative medicine – Gould’s practitioners will work collaboratively with your other healthcare professionals to help you receive the best care possible.
Providing the highest-quality care – At Goulds Natural Medicine Clinic we combine the best of traditional evidence, research evidence, and our experience to provide you with the best in healthcare. 
Doctor as teacher – Few people realise that the term “doctor” comes from the Latin word “docere”, which means to teach. At Goulds our practitioners aim to teach you how to best look after your health and the health of your loved ones.
Identify and treat the cause – One of the core tenets of naturopathic medicine, Gould’s practitioners will use their experience, case-taking skills, and the best of functional and traditional laboratory investigations to identify the causes of your ill health. Once the cause has been identified, then we work with you to develop a treatment plan that best addresses the issues.

 

All naturopathic practitioners at Goulds Natural Medicine Clinic are members of professional associations with a minimum Bachelor degree level qualification.
