DAIVATI BHARADVAJ, N.D.

As a naturopathic family doctor, I work with people of all ages:  performing pediatric checkups, women's exams, complete physicals, and preventative medicine for older adults.  My ideal patient is one who seeks unique, individualized, empowering health care to address complex chronic 'mystery' diseases.  We will use a holistic approach to trace illness back to its root cause, by acquiring a comprehensive health history, laboratory tests and physical exams.

Natural therapies that integrate the healing powers of body, mind and spirit, can help each person recover and enjoy the highest state of wellness!

I collaborate with each individual in choosing nourishing diets, balanced lifestyles, and custom-formulated Botanical medicines. For those who appreciate bodywork, I also offer Massage therapy, Orthobionomy, Spinal manipulation, and clinical Hydrotherapy.  Rather than practicing "recipe book" protocols, I prefer using energy medicines such as classical Homeopathy and Ayurveda for achieving deep and powerful mental-emotional balancing. 

The practice of naturopathic medicine is all about a careful balance between the rigors of science with the gentle art of intuition...

My most memorable and fulfilling moments as a clinician are listening to the inspiring stories of people who-with my expertise and guidance-have learned how to create and sustain their most vibrant health and well-being.

Every day in my practice, I am honored and grateful for being a part of these awesome and wonderful life experiences moving towards healing!  My ultimate goal as a health care provider is to co-create optimal wellness for as many people as I can, giving my very best to one person at a time.  And when we as individuals aspire towards a healthier state, we bring inspiration to our community at large to become healthier, happier, and more whole. 

Daivati Bharadvaj, N.D. earned her doctorate degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2003, and her bachelor's degree in nutritional sciences from Cornell University in 1999.  After successfully completing a residency in Naturopathic Family Medicine, she serves her community as a primary care physician, helping people with chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease, obesity, pediatrics, and women's reproductive health issues.  She is the recent author of Natural Treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, an excellent resource for health care providers and CFS sufferers alike (© Greenwood Praeger 2008).  She has published articles in Energy Times and Naturopathic Doctor News & Review, and she continues to speak about natural medicine at academic institutions (OHSU, NCNM) and medical conferences (IAMA, AANP). Beyond her practice, she teaches Anatomy & Physiology as a faculty member of Portland Community College, and she offers workshops, herbal hikes, group cleansing diets, and other educational events in her local neighborhood.  Her hobbies include classical Indian dancing, cooking and eating, motorcycling, backpacking, and traveling.

Reviews from Dr. Daivati Bharadvaj's patients:

Dr Daivati, told me a few years ago if I did everything she asked me to do everything would be OK!  I have not been an easy patient.  When I was born, I was born with stiff limbs and I have seen many Naturopath's and have had varying results but with Dr Daivati as my physician, I have improved the most!  I like to say, she found the key to my health! I have relayed this message to Chiropractor's and other Naturopath's and they have been impressed! I can touch my toes at age 61 for the first time in my life. I have lost weight from 220-180. Whenever I have a physical problem, I first go to Dr Daivati and she always knows what to do.  This saves me trips to other alternative practictioners. I have seen what I believe to be the best Naturopath's in Oregon over the past 30 some years and Dr Daivati is the BEST Naturopath, I have ever met!  -- BM

I was truly blessed to discover Dr. Bharadvaj through glowing reviews from other patients.  I had suffered from intense bladder pain for 3 months that my regular physician was treating unsuccessfully with antibiotics and minerals, and the antibiotics were only increasing my pain.  When I went to Dr. Bharadvaj she reviewed my blood work and immediately diagnosed my issue as an inflammation and prescribed a natural treatment.  I was 100% better in 2 weeks, which was astounding.  I have since recommended a number of friends and family to this wonderful Naturopath whom I highly recommend.    --- LP

Dr. Daivati connected with me as a person as well as a patient.  With her help I was able to bring balance back to my body and life.  And the really great part:  I got pregnant with my 2nd child after only 4 months of working with Dr. Daivati.  Prior to working with Dr. Daivati, I had been trying various infertility methods for 2 years without success.  I remember in our first meeting, she told me, "You will be able to get pregnant again, most definitely" and she was right!  Thank you again!  --- RS

Dr. Daivati is my first naturopath physician and I'm so thankful that I found her!  She is very thorough and takes the time each visit to address any health concerns from a holistic approach.  I've never had such a great health advocate for my overall health than Dr. Daivati!   -- JB

Until I met Dr. Daivati I truly could not seem to find a doctor who would just sit down with me and actually LISTEN. It seems like common sense, but Dr. D truly listens to you. She really cares about her patients. I feel like she cares about my well being and she's there for me when ever I need her and is constantly trying new ways to help. I feel lucky to have her as my doctor.  --- JR

My experiences with Daivati are very positive. She asked all the right questions and listened carefully, arriving at all the right conclusions. We got to a deeper understanding of my current health, and set goals for improved health. Working with her has given me a deeper confidence in my own health and how to keep it.  --- DW

Dr. Daivati listens (eagerly!) to my health concerns.  In just a few months, she has suggested minor changes that, when implemented, have had a major impact in my energy level and overall outlook on life.  I am grateful to finally have a doctor who takes the time to focus on me as a person and who thoughtfully uses the information I provide to create a holistic, non-invasive plan designed specifically for me to reach my health goals. -- AY

I always enjoy my visits with you.  I love how you have such a holistic approach.   The tests that you ordered, especially at the beginning, were things that I never thought of myself, but gave me a new respect for the depth and breadth of your knowledge, and how you put it to use for my benefit.  Also, I really appreciated how you were willing to work with me on an alternative therapy you initially knew very little about, but were willing to look into it and research it thoroughly to help me achieve the best results on my own path to "vibrant health".  Thanks!"  -- LF
