Dr. Nicole Schertell (ND, CCT)
Dr. Schertell is a licensed naturopathic medical doctor and treats both adults and children of all ages who prefer the natural approach over prescription medications. Dr. Schertell believes that the body is wise and that each person possesses the ability to heal when given the proper support. She will work to identify and treat the cause of imbalance rather than suppressing symptoms, and routinely performs physical exams and laboratory testing to assist with this process. Dr. Schertell was trained to provide primary care services to her patients, although many times she works in collaboration with many patient’s existing PCPs.
Dr. Schertell believes that prevention is the best medicine, and this is what lead her to practice the FDA-approved screening technology known as Digital Infrared Thermography. This cutting-edge technology is growing in popularity as a breast cancer screening tool, offering the potential for earlier detection of breast disease than has been possible through breast self-exams, doctor examination or mammography alone.
Educational Background:
Dr. Schertell designed her bachelor’s degree and was the first student to graduate from the University of New Hampshire with a background in Pre-Naturopathic Medicine. She then went on to attend a 4-year medical school and earned her doctorate from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ. Dr. Schertell is also a board certified clinical thermographer (CCT) trained by the American College of Clinical Thermology, and member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
