In his New York City practice, Dr. Hanson works with difficult and advanced cases. A naturopathic doctor focuses on bringing out your body's innate ability to heal itself. Under Dr. Hanson's care, the health of his patients often improves beyond what they were told was possible. Dr. Hanson designs an individualized treatment plan that addresses your health concerns with alternative medicine. The natural treatments used by a naturopathic doctor may include homeopathy, botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, lifestyle and dietary adjustment, acupuncture or physical medicine.

Dr. Hanson embraces the principles that have guided every naturopathic doctor for more than a century: All healing is the product of the healing power of nature (the Vis Medicatrix Naturae). By treating the whole person rather than individual symptoms or disease states and identifying and removing obstacles to health, a naturopathic doctor encourages this natural healing ability. Dr. Hanson also believes that restoring both energetic balance and nutritional status is crucial to recovering health and preventing future illness.

Dr. Hanson has treated patients in a variety of clinical settings including integrative primary care, substance abuse recovery and hospital environments. He has worked in conjunction with medical doctors, chiropractors and psychotherapists, as well as other naturopathic doctors.

Before becoming a naturopathic doctor, Dr. Hanson studied natural medicine in China and Kenya. Under the advisement of a leading Johns Hopkins scholar, Dr. Hanson’s undergraduate research focused on the organic and sustainable cultivation of botanical medicines.
