I am looking for someone to replace my current family MD.
I found a Homeopatic pratitioner about 25 miles form me, a longer drive than I would like, but OK since I don't go to the doctor much anyway, and a Naturopath about 1 hour away, which is way too long of a drive for me.

Which one would you choose, and why?
Does anyone know of a good on-line directory to look for such pratitioners? I was just Yahoo searching, and going crazy to boot!

hi Tracey,
A great resource to find naturopathic doctor's closer to you (if there are any) is aanp.org It is the professional organization for naturopaths and they have a great referral system. Are you looking for a PCP for your little one, or just adjunctive treatment? I would go with the naturopath if you want a PCP, the homeopath if you want extra alternative info.
Hope this help!
Denise

I'd go with a naturopath over a homeopath. My naturopath practices homeopathy anyway.
