Background
Naturopathic medicine offers a whole-body approach to healing. The body’s way of showing imbalance is to create symptoms of disease. As the body adapts to an imperfect environment, it will compensate in what many view as a negative symptom. The goal of naturopathic medicine is to bring the body back into balance rather than suppressing these complaints. This allows our patients to truly heal and live better lives. Our doctors take whatever time is needed to really listen to each patient, discuss symptoms and life factors and holistically heal each individual they see. After all, your body is unique...your healthcare should be too.
Naturopathy has a unique ability to help with all aspects of health, and here at MediPro we specialize in Women’s Health. This includes gynecological exams, holistic pelvic care, and fertility support (once you get pregnant, visit our Family Practice pages for support all through your pregnancy and beyond).

What to Expect
Because we treat each patient uniquely, there will always be some variation. However, you can count on our doctors using your first visit to create a foundation for your health goals, an understanding for the process ahead and to set you on the path to optimal health.
This first visit will last 60-75 minutes and includes a thorough evaluation, physical exam and treatment recommendations targeting the root of your health issues.
Follow ups are generally scheduled every 2-6 weeks while we work together. These 30- to 60-minute visits allow time to discuss symptom changes, new complaints, and any questions or concerns. All bodies are complex, but our staff have dedicated themselves to specializing in treating the unique physiology of women like you. It is our goal to create a supportive and educational patient-doctor partnership so you will feel in control of your health.

Our Doctors
All Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) attend a 4-year doctorate degree program and are considered primary care physicians by most major health insurance carriers in the state of Oregon. That means our staff can help with most of your health needs – and they focus on you as a whole person, instead of a specific symptom.
Our Women’s Health team is led by Dr. Hilary Sandell and Dr. Emily Gannaway. Dr. Sandell says “My number one goal is educating my patients in health and wellness and setting them up for success in the future.” She specializes in primary care, chronic condition management, and acupuncture. Dr. Gannaway says “I am a problem solver and I put in the time to figure out the root cause of what is ailing my patients, instead of just putting a band-aid on them.” She specializes in primary care, women’s care (including manual therapy to treat reproductive issues, back pain, and weight loss), and naturopathic pediatric care.
