Dr. Chikako Harper is an Oregon board-certified naturopathic doctor, an expert on natural medicine. I believe that illness is the body’s way of manifesting internal imbalance. The focus of my treatment is to identify and treat the underlining cause, rather than just treating symptoms. I use a unique integrated approach, combining the science of western medicine with the healing arts of natural medicine. My approach is to minimize the use of pharmaceutical drugs as much as possible and promote the body’s innate self-healing ability. Areas of my specialty include skin conditions, allergies, diabetes, hypertension, women’s health, hormonal imbalance, thyroid, weight loss, acute and chronic pains, mood disorders. I also offer health check up and women’s annual exam.
