Dr. Natasha Kassam is a board certified Naturopathic physician and treats a broad range of acute and chronic conditions seen in family practice. Experiencing years of personal health issues herself, Dr. Kassam eventually sought non-traditional methods of healing, during which time she was introduced to naturopathic medicine. In particular, it was Vital Sensation Classical Homeopathy which led to dramatic changes in her well-being. This experience, along with Dr. Kassam's passion to help people, cemented her commitment to becoming a naturopathic doctor and homeopathic physician.

She received her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM), in Portland, OR. Dr. Kassam has a special interest in treating cardiovascular and gastrointestinal conditions. She gained in-depth experience working with cardiovascular conditions when she was one of a few chosen interns in the Center for Natural Medicine's Heart and Lung Wellness Program. In addition, Dr. Kassam completed a medical residency program with the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM), as well as, a residency at the Center for Natural Medicine (CNM) which focused on Cardiology and Pulmonary medicine. Dr. Kassam teaches skill labs on physical examination techniques and patient charting. She is extremely passionate about teaching and it is therefore an essential aspect of her career. Dr Kassam's proficiency in this area was validated when she was nominated and honored with several teaching awards from NCNM.
