Dr. Suzanne Sykurski, ND, MS, BS
Practice Objectives
As a board-certified, licensed, naturopathic physician, my goal is to provide caring, attentive and
thorough holistic health care. My practice goals are to promote wellness and prevent disease by
employing natural therapies such as nutrition, lifestyle analysis, herbal medicine,
homeopathy, intravenous (IV) vitamin injections, physical medicine, and relaxation therapies.
My specialties include weight loss, thyroid imbalances, adrenal fatigue, bio-identical hormone
therapy, detoxification, neurological imbalances, chronic fatigue syndrome, immune system
challenges, menopausal challenges, autoimmunediseases, heavy metal toxicity, and chronic pain
syndromes.
I wholly support integrative medical care, using the best of conventional and naturopathic medical
therapies specific for each patient’s health challenge. The therapies I recommend are carefully
researched against the most current treatment protocols for each specific disease and specially
tailored to the individual patient.
