A monthly membership sounds simple. Here’s what it actually includes — part one of two.

Crossroads Integrative Medicine runs on membership-based care: instead of billing insurance for each visit, members pay one straightforward monthly fee for ongoing, comprehensive naturopathic care. No hidden fees, no surprise bills.

Swipe through for the first three things that come with it: extended visit times, direct access to your provider between appointments, and a personalized treatment plan built around your history.

Part two (the rest of what’s included) is up next week.

Individual and couple memberships are open now in Fishers, Indiana and Portland, Oregon. Check the link in bio to learn more or schedule a consult.

What does healthcare look like when nobody’s rushing?

Every plan I build follows the Therapeutic Order™: a framework built around one core idea, start with the least invasive option that can actually work, then adjust based on how your body responds.

That means visits with room for your follow-up questions, plans that account for your whole health picture instead of just the symptom in front of me, and me explaining my reasoning instead of just handing you a next step.

Root-cause approach. Personalized care plans. Direct access to me, not a rotating cast of providers. That’s how I practice.

Follow along for more on how I think about care.

Most people can explain what a cardiologist does. Almost nobody can explain what a naturopathic doctor actually does. This post is here to close that gap.

Dr. Ryan Heer, ND is the founder of Crossroads Integrative Medicine in Fishers, Indiana (with a second location in Portland, Oregon). His visits are guided by six core principles of naturopathic medicine: using the least invasive treatment first, treating you as a whole person, focusing on prevention, supporting your body’s own ability to heal, teaching you what’s actually going on, and treating the root cause instead of only managing symptoms.

Membership-based care also means longer visits, direct access to your doctor between appointments, and a plan built around your history instead of a fifteen-minute checklist.

Swipe through for all six principles. If this sounds like the kind of care you’ve been looking for, check the link in bio to schedule a consult.

Embedded UTIs!
Urinary tract infections are quite a common thing we deal with in the healthcare world. When those cases move from acute to chronic though, few are equipped to manage what turns out to be a challenging issue for thousands.
Often these infections are quite complex and require a holistic approach to evaluating what is truly going on. The world of naturopathic medicine offers a respite blending a comprehensive approach with a wide toolkit of treatment options such as targeted herbal therapies and bladder instillations.
Thanks to the guidance of Ruth Kriz and countless other practitioners, Dr Ryan has been able to treat patients across the globe and is currently accepting patients both in person and virtually.
