Hi, my name is Dr. Kristen Brown. I am a naturopathic physician who practices holistic family medicine
and I feel passionate about helping my patients achieve a vibrant state of health!
My practice offers general family
healthcare. I choose to seek out the underlying cause of imbalance and practice
'whole-person' healthcare. As a licensed naturopathic
physician, I treat patients of all ages with concerns both acute and chronic in nature.
March 2012 Update:
As of
April 1st
, I will be moving my Burnaby naturopathic practice to a full-time practice in Vancouver at Cross Roads Naturopathic Clinic. If convenient, you can continue to see me at this new location and I will happily transfer your chart.
Also, in an effort to ensure that my patients who prefer to remain at the Burnaby location continue to receive the best possible care, I have found Dr. Melanie DesChatelets, ND, a caring, talented and compassionate naturopathic physician. She shares my commitment to wellness and my view of health and will be taking over my practice in Burnaby.
I am confident that you will continue to receive the highest quality of naturopathic care from Dr. DesChatelets. I invite to you to get to know Dr. DesChatelets more personally by visiting her website: www.drdeschat.com or emailing her directly at: melanie@drdeschat.com
I will be working with Dr. Melanie DesChatelets to ensure a smooth transition and to help her get to know your health care needs. The office location and telephone number will remain the same.
Very sincerely and with gratitude,
Dr. Kristen Brown, ND
At Cross Roads Naturopathic, I am happy to provide my general naturopathic family care as before as well as an expanded practice to include physical exams, pap tests for women, in-house lab testing and IV therapies for nutritional, immune and detoxification support.
