  Dr. Lenore Cariaga, ND

Though born into a medical family in which her father was a doctor of internal medicine and three siblings who grew up to work in traditional medical field themselves, Dr. Lenore Cariaga has long believed in alternative medicine.  She appreciates the value of Western medicine, but her quest for alternative medicines began as a young girl who saw her father’s patients returning repeatedly for the same pharmaceutical drugs.  Her quest led her to naturopathic medicine, which addresses the cause of the disease and uses natural methods of treatment.

Dr. Cariaga graduated as a doctor of naturopathic medicine in 1993 from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington.  She then practiced in Hawaii and California before joining Dr. King C. Mason in Houston, Texas.  Her knowledge of diet and nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and counseling has enabled her to help patients who have had months, and years, of a chronic condition.   She helps patients achieve successful outcomes by educating them about their condition and providing the natural therapy needed for recovery.  Dr. Cariaga believes that healing can take place naturally when the body is strengthened by receiving what it needs to be restored to health.  Some of the most amazing recoveries have been achieved without the use of pharmaceutical drugs or surgery.

In addition to studying naturopathic medicine, Dr. Cariaga earned a Bachelor of Arts in pre-med Biology from the University of Hawaii and a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from The Way College of Biblical Research, Indiana Campus in Rome City, Indiana.  Dr. Cariaga has a passion for the things of God.  She is a minister and an avid researcher and teacher of the Bible.  Along with helping patients, Dr. Cariaga is pursuing a post-Doctoral Master’s Degree from the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and is committed to healing the total body, mind, soul, and spirit.
