How kids' visits work

Children aren't small adults, so their visits are shorter and their plans simpler. Kids' pricing applies to anyone 15 and younger; 16-year-olds are booked as adults. Book the 45-minute visit for a first appointment or anything complex, and the 30-minute visit for follow-ups.

Plans start with food and routine, and supplements are considered only at child-appropriate doses when they're warranted. Your ND will ask about everything your child takes.

Virtual visits for kids

Follow-ups can often be done by virtual visit, which saves a trip to Steinbach for families across Southern Manitoba. Dr. Jayden Dobson, ND sees children by virtual visit only. See what a naturopathic doctor does for more on the approach.

Is it safe to give my child supplements?

Some are, at the right dose and for the right reason, and some aren't. That's why it's worth asking a practitioner before buying anything. Your ND will check doses for your child's age and weight and look for interactions with any medications.
