“My goal is to empower patients through education, lifestyle changes, and long-term wellness strategies, while remaining committed to the safe and effective use of naturopathic medicine in clinical settings.” -Dr. Kristin Roos
Dr. Roos is inspired by the Mederi Care® / ETMS model because of its unique approach to healing—combining ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, which speaks directly to her own approach to personalized, integrative care.
