What to know about Black Naturopathy care
Naturopathic doctors (NDs) complete a four-year, CNME-accredited program and, in licensed states (about 25 at this writing), provide primary care with an emphasis on nutrition, botanical medicine, and lifestyle interventions alongside conventional diagnostics. Not all states license NDs; always verify credentials. Less than 5 percent of practicing NDs are Black.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a Black Nd in the US?
Use the search and filter tools on this page to browse verified Black Nds in the US. You can filter by telehealth, insurance accepted, and whether the Nd is accepting new patients. If the list is short, consider virtual options as many Black Nds serve patients statewide or nationwide.
Are there virtual or telehealth Black Nds serving the US?
Yes. Many Black Nds offer telehealth appointments in addition to or instead of in-person visits. Use the telehealth filter on this page to see providers who offer virtual care, which can expand your options significantly if local availability is limited.
Why does seeing a Black Nd matter?
Research consistently shows that racial concordance between patients and their care team is associated with better communication, greater trust, and improved health outcomes. Patients who share a racial or cultural background with their Nd often report feeling more understood and are more likely to follow through on care plans.
What should I ask a Nd before working with them?
Ask whether they are accepting new patients, what insurance they accept, and whether they offer telehealth or in-person visits. It is also worth asking about their experience with conditions relevant to you, their communication style, and how they handle after-hours questions or urgent concerns.
Do Black Nds in the US accept insurance or Medicaid?
Many Black Nds listed in this directory accept major insurance plans and some accept Medicaid or Medicare. Use the insurance and Medicaid filters on this page to narrow your search. Contact the provider directly to confirm your specific plan is accepted before scheduling.
