This is Not Your Typical Doctors Office

Step into a space where healthcare feels personal, modern, and refreshingly different. From shorter wait times to compassionate, one-on-one care, we’ve reimagined the doctor’s office experience—designed around you, not the system.

Comprehensive Care + Collaborative Support

We focus on a whole body, preventive approach to your health, while communicating and integrating seamlessly with your primary care doctors, specialists, pediatricians, or other integrative health practitioners.

Longer Appointment Times

Our initial appointments are 2 hours in length, with follow up’s lasting from thirty to sixty minutes. This allows us plenty of time to get to know you, your health history, and your primary goals.

Research Based Medicine

Our licensed naturopathic doctors are informed and educated on the latest research in both conventional medicine, and alternative and holistic treatments. We are able to combine multiple modalities of treatment safely, and effectively.

Compassionate, supportive, and relaxing environment

Our office is designed with your comfort and sensitivities in mind. Quiet, peaceful and fragrance free, we want you to feel at ease the moment you walk through the door.

A Team Approach

Our team of skilled naturopathic doctors work together to provide specialized insight into your case. On a daily basis, we are here to support each other through positive team work, collaborative learning, and elevating our professional, core values, even on the hardest days.

I felt comfortable and felt that the doctor actually took the time to get to know me and my medical needs. I appreciate the initial 2 hours spent, which is about 5 years worth of time spent with my regular medical doctor.

WC

It was what I needed. Someone to listen and make an educated plan. I slept 8 hours for the first time in years literally.

AB

I feel the practice has been a noticeable positive influence on my health. I feel better. I feel my allergies are less bothersome if at all and I am sleeping better.

LP

Everyone here is so friendly, helpful, and understanding! Both the office staff and doctors. We look forward to bringing our whole family here.

PS

Overall it was more than I ever expected and I’m forever grateful for this.

RB

Fantastic - Office was peaceful and relaxing. I felt listened to and heard. I feel like I have a solid plan for next steps forward and trust everything I was told!

JH

I had my intake appointment on Wednesday. The care and consideration I received was above and beyond what I have experienced in a long time. I feel so lucky I found Richmond Natural Medicine and can get the true holistic support that I need. I am grateful for Dr. Alexander and the Richmond Natural Medicine team/practice.

LM

I was immediately set at ease and put at calm. Which given my whirlwind condition upon arrival was good. It was my first appointment so it was lengthy but Dr. Jodie made it seem like an afternoon tea with a friend making it easy to answer all the questions. After going over the care plan and discussing going forward I am both excited and anxious to get started. I feel confident with the plan being developed and I think working with Dr. Jodie will be a very positive experience.

BD

From the front desk staff, to Dr. Barranco… I couldn’t be ANY more impressed. I have never had a doctor sit down and TRULY hear me out about my son’s health concerns…. And I work in healthcare. I’m in awe. You all are such a blessing to my family and I’m so glad I found you.

FAQs

Do You Accept Insurance?
Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance for payment of our services. Naturopathic medicine is not covered by health insurance in Virginia at this time. The current medical model does not fully recognize the strengths of preventative holistic medicine. Steps are currently being taken here in Virginia and across the country to give more recognition to naturopathic medicine. You may check with your insurance company to see if they offer out-of-network coverage for alternative or complementary care. Fortunately, those individuals with a HSA (health savings account) or FSA (flexible spending accounts) are often able to use these plans toward naturopathic care. In these cases, we can provide you with necessary paperwork and itemized receipts. You should check with your HSA or FSA Provider for more information and specific rules. Some insurers in Virginia will cover acupuncture, and in these cases we will again provide necessary paperwork for reimbursement. Contact your provider for more information.
It depends on each client and their specific condition. We cannot offer specific numbers due to the fact that each individual responds differently to treatment. We have seen varying results based on how closely patients follow the care plan set up for them by their practitioner. Each patient will see varying degrees of results based on their individual needs and commitment to achieving good health.
We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. You must give notice 24-hours prior to your appointment that you would like to cancel or reschedule. You can reach us via voicemail, email, or by speaking to a representative in the office. In the event that 24-hours notice is not given to cancel or reschedule a follow up visit, we charge a $100 insufficient notice fee. Should you need to reschedule your initial appointment and you aren’t able to provide a 24 hour notice then you will forfeit your $100 deposit and will need to make a new deposit if you would like to book again in the future.
our initial appointment will be an in-depth review of your past and present medical history. Over the course of two hours, your practitioner will aim to obtain a full overview of who you are and what your needs are during this time. You can expect a discussion that looks beyond your presenting symptoms to the overall picture of your health, in order to best determine the best possible treatment for you. Your practitioner will inquire about your long-term expectations while working with our clinic, as well as considering your current lifestyle choices and habits. The lengthy appointments are just the nature of comprehensive holistic medicine.
