Holistic Family Doctor/Pediatrician in South Dakota?

[frencheese]

I have been searching and searching online and I have only been able to find one ND near Rapid City and he seems to be a lymphatic specialist and not a general practitioner. An ND or MD/DO who incorporates natural remedies into their practice would be preferable but even an MD/DO who is relaxed and would be supportive of natural remedies would be fine. I'm a little north of Pierre, SD but I'm willing to drive. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi there!

Yes, living in SD is quite the conundrum sometimes when it comes to finding care providers that meet your needs/wants, isn't it?!?! :o) I was aware of one ND that was in the Watertown/Sioux Falls area, however, he moved to Colorado a few months ago. I took my children to him once before he left. Sorry, I know that isn't that helpful. I just saw that your post was sitting all by itself with no replies, and it made me sad! I didn't want you to feel ignored. ;-)

Have you looked into any chiropractors, etc that focus on more homeopathic/alternative forms of care? In my experience with my own children, it's been more than difficult to find any MD/DOs that are even remotely into that type of thing. I've had to seek out providers in other fields instead.

Good luck!! Please share if you find someone!!

:o)

I'm in Sioux Falls, and I'd agree on the chiropractors, though I also really like my ped.  (1 partially vaxed child, 3 totally unvaccinated, 2 homeborn, youngest I brought in with a birth defect after the homebirth and he is still wonderful to us)  We're a long drive apart though, and if you're anything like me...by the time I've decided it's bad enough for a ped, it's also probably bad enough that I won't be driving several hours to get to someone.
