As a young child Dr. Hartwell battled chronic infections that baffled her conventional doctors. Just short of surgical removal of her infected glands, she was taken to an indigenous healer who prescribed a botanical treatment that assisted in her recovery. Ever since she could remember she had an insatiable interest in plant medicine. That interest, and the development of several autoimmune conditions for which she was offered little assistance in managing, brought her to naturopathic medicine. Dr. Hartwell brings a unique combination of compassion and empathy, along with advanced clinical knowledge to each of her primary care, urgent care, aesthetics and minor surgery cases. With this knowledge and an ever growing tool box, Dr. Hartwell assists her patients in unshackling themselves from their “chronic conditions” and empowers them to live life to the utmost!
