Dr. Shawnte Yates, ND, LAc
Naturopathic Doctor & Licensed Acupuncturist

My approach to medicine is to understand you and your journey so I can get to the root of your health concerns. I create personalized and practical treatment plans that are designed to fit your state of health, your busy schedule, and your budget. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been sick for as long as you can remember or you simply want to feel your best, we will work together to get you to your fullest potential so you can enjoy life on your terms.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic illness like diabetes, heart disease, or an autoimmune disease or you have nagging symptoms with seemingly no underlying cause like headaches, digestive upset, or pain, your body is still working to move back into a state of optimal function. Through my training in naturopathy, classical Chinese medicine, and modern evidence-based medicine, I will help you discover the tools you need to regain your innate vitality. As a naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist, I am trained to understand the changes that occur when someone moves from a state of health to a state of illness. This means I can treat a wide array of conditions and symptoms, even if you’ve been told “there is nothing wrong with you.” By treating patients as individuals as a whole, I am able to address functional changes in physiology and not just pathological states.

Using a combination of a thorough medical history, modern diagnostic tools, classical Chinese medicine diagnosis, and physical exams, we will find the underlying obstacle to your good health. By combining clinical nutrition with lifestyle modification, many common complaints can be addressed. Beyond lifestyle changes, I use acupuncture, massage and other physical medicine modalities to align the body and mind. I employ botanicals (Western and Chinese herbs), homeopathy, and nutritional supplements for many patients to support optimal health. I have advanced training in botanical medicine and regard herbs as one of our most powerful and safe medicinals.

It is essential to have a good relationship with your health care provider, which is why I offer a free 30 minute consult. During this time I will explain my philosophy of medicine and take the time to learn about you and how I can best help you.
