Frequently Asked Questions
Does Dr. Sanika see patients in person in Bellevue?
Dr. Sanika's in-person office is located in nearby Kirkland at 12911 120th Ave NE, Suite J-3 (about 10 minutes from downtown Bellevue). However, many Bellevue patients prefer the convenience of telehealth appointments, which are available on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Telehealth allows you to receive comprehensive naturopathic care from the comfort of your home or office.
How does telehealth work for naturopathic medicine?
Telehealth appointments are conducted via secure video conferencing and are just as comprehensive as in-person visits. Dr. Sanika can review your health history, discuss symptoms, interpret lab results, create personalized treatment plans, and prescribe supplements or botanical medicines. Lab orders can be sent to convenient locations throughout Bellevue, including Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp at Overlake Medical Center.
Can I get lab work done in Bellevue?
Yes! Dr. Sanika works with multiple lab companies with convenient Bellevue locations. Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp both have facilities near Overlake Medical Center. Lab orders are sent electronically, and you can choose the location most convenient for you. Results are reviewed during your follow-up appointment, which can be done via telehealth.
How is naturopathic nutrition different from seeing a nutritionist?
As a licensed naturopathic doctor, Dr. Sanika can order comprehensive lab testing, diagnose conditions, and integrate nutrition therapy with other naturopathic modalities like botanical medicine and supplementation. This holistic approach addresses not just what you eat, but how your body processes and utilizes nutrients.
Will I have to follow a restrictive diet?
Dr. Sanika believes in sustainable, individualized nutrition approaches. While some therapeutic diets may be temporarily restrictive, the goal is always to expand your food options while supporting your health. You will receive practical guidance that fits your lifestyle and preferences.
