Since 2001, I have been helping people restore their health using gentle, natural medicine. As a California State licensed naturopathic doctor I combine modern medical science with time-honored and well-established natural healing methods, including homeopathy, herbal medicine, nutrition, hydrotherapy, and strain-counterstrain.
I take time to listen to my patients, allowing them to include all different aspects of their health (mind and body). This, along with physical assessment and laboratory testing, allows me to provide individually tailored treatment to help people feel their best. There are core principles that define modern Naturopathy, and make it distinct from other healing arts.

While there are many holistic health professionals today, few are rigorously trained in natural medicine. When you see a naturopathic doctor (ND) in California, you can be assured that you are under that care of a medically trained and licensed primary care doctor. Unlike conventional doctors, however, naturopaths are trained to use natural therapies as primary treatment.
The art of homeopathy has been practiced for over 200 years and is currently widely used throughout Europe, India, and South America. Its popularity in the United States is growing, as an increasing number of people search for effective but less toxic treatment options. Homeopathy treats illness according to the "Law of Similiars."
Botanical medicine is truly having a renaissance. After having been, throughout the 20th century, largely replaced by synthetic drugs, plant-based medicines are enjoying a revival. An increasing number of people are now choosing these natural alternatives over the synthetic drugs of the pharmaceutical industry.

As an acupuncturist, I am not as easy patient. While I have good compliance, I have a lot of chronic health issues and have tried a lot of different treatments. I came to Dr Dymond at an extremely low point health wise, and he's been super helpful. His treatment and perspective has aligned really well with some other work I had just started doing. So it felt like he was a perfect fit for where I was at in my healing process. He is open to hearing my thoughts and gives honest feedback. He's a very traditional naturopath - doesn't do a lot of extra testing, doesn't overprescribe

I highly recommend Dr. Tim Dymond. I came to him initially for help resolving Grave's disease. I was looking for someone who would partner with me, support me in the process of self-healing that I was already engaged in. He really honors the individual's capacity to rebalance and heal. I have been in remission for many years now. Since then, Dr. Dymond has been there to support me many times when I've needed expertise to resolve health issues or tangles brought about through natural life transitions. He was even able to catch a fracture in my son's wrist that had been missed

I saw Dr. Dymond from Aug '18 - Feb '19 for eczema. He came recommended by a friend. He helped me successfully navigate through the elimination provocation process to discover I have food intolerances. The rash completely went away and my digestion has improved. During that time, I also struggled a lot with work stress. The herb tinctures he prescribed helped me get through that as well.
I highly recommend Dr. Dymond for any health needs you want to address. He's very easy to talk to, non-judgmental, a kind man and good at what he does.

Dr. Tim is a wizard.
He was able to diagnose and help treat a brutal condition which regular doctors kept making worse. I am now on the road to recovery, and I owe much of it to him.
The knowledge of his craft and care for his patients is second-to-none. Went through lots of doctors before I finally found him. So grateful I did!
Highly recommended!

Since becoming a patient of Dr Tim over 10 years ago, I've rarely been sick or had the need to take any pharmaceuticals. He balances Western medicine with holistic and herbal approaches to one's health. His advice on diet, movement, and mind has been most helpful in a stressful world.
I visit him on a regular basis for a tune-up and some healing body work.
Tim cares about his patients and that shows in the results.

I have received such good care from Tim Dymond. He helped me finally get a diagnosis on what has been ailing me for years. It has been a real battle and Kaiser would never have followed through and figured out what was going on. My condition has stumped literally dozens of health care practitioners, allopathic and otherwise. It has been soooo frustrating. To have Tim in my corner has made a huge difference, and he's been able to figure things out where so many gave up. He knows a lot, he listens, he follows through, he studied my case when I had no idea he was still thinking of me, long after my

I have been a naturopathy patient for over 30 years. In my many experiences with naturopaths, I have never encountered one who is as knowledgeable, thoughtful and compassionate as Dr. Dymond. Every session with him is deeply focused on getting to know the deep details of my health condition in a sensitive and well-considered way. He is able to draw connections between the smallest nuances of my physical condition and comes up with solutions that really work in resolving my problems and making me live a happier, healthier life. I feel blessed having him as my "health angel" and encourage anyone

I came to see Dr Dymond concerning my problems with intense night sweats, mood swings, and for chronic pain due to a back injury. I am now doing much better! Dr Dymond has a well rounded approach to healing: he is able to work on the psychological and spiritual dimensions related to health in addition to addressing physical symptoms. He is smart, compassionate and competent.

I had an undiagnosed serious illness for 9-years, that none of the best doctors in the Bay area could (or would) diagnose. I was so sick, and spent all my money doing tests, and going to see doctors who seemed like they were not interested in helping me get better. I found Dr. Tim Dymond online, and read the reviews, and saved up for my first visit. Yes, it was expensive, but I trusted the people that came before me. He is such an extraordinary health-care professional. I cannot express how impressed I am with his methods. He looked at my chart and labs, listened to my story, and symptoms, and

I saw Dr. Dymond four years ago when I couldn't walk because my joints were so swollen. I was 25 years old, and I'd seen many MDs who couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Dr. Dymond was the first doctor I saw who really listened and really saw me, and not only that, put together a treatment plan that actually got to the root of my imbalance instead of just managing my debilitating symptoms. He did some tests, and we found I had a severe gluten intolerance, a parasite, and high levels of lead and mercury in my system. He gave me herbal and homeopathic remedies, and helped me

For anyone who is has not seen a Naturopathic Doctor, they do not accept insurance so you will have to pay out of pocket. The first visit can be anywhere from $250-$400 for the first 2 hour appointment. The second appointment is half the cost for an hour appointment. After reading the glowing 5 star reviews, I thought maybe Dr. Dymond could cure my unique IBS issue. He was not able to but it showed me a breathing exercise. I asked him if I could email him about any questions, he said he wants me to make appointments. I understand he has to pay for his business. I think he is honest and will not

I grew up in flyover country. Even after being a Californian for over 15 years, I was pretty skeptical about this whole "naturopathic" medicine thing. I met with Tim anyway to help me deal with the physical aftermath of an extended traumatic life event.
This man is the real deal. I could not say enough good things about him. He is guiding me through changes that are having dramatic effects on my life. Tim is all about figuring out the minimal, least intrusive but effective change to address fundamental issues with health. Addressing a lot of our maladies really do come down to the basics

I'm not sure my story will add much to what's already been said here, but I owe these accolades to Dr. Dymond for how much he's helped me... so here goes! I came to Dr. Dymond a little over a year ago, having suffered from increasingly serious stomach and intestinal problems for the better part of ten years. Like others here, I'd visited a specialist at UCSF to no avail. Though I had tried various alternative methods to help my system, nothing seemed to really do the trick. It was also getting to be overwhelming keeping track of all the possible factors and foods that might

I am deeply grateful that my friend referred me to Tim a couple years ago. Working with him has profoundly changed my health, my vitality, my well-being. He was able to address and resolve issues I had been enduring for years, issues no MD or other healthcare provider had been able to help me with. Until I worked with Tim finding a health care provider who truly worked with the all of me was a dream. He is empathetic, insightful, caring, wise, skilled and committed.

I made an appointment with Dr. Dymond a few months ago because of his great reviews on Yelp. I have had two appointments and think he is awesome! Not only is he a calming presence, but he is an incredibly thoughtful listener and really wants to get to the root of your health issues. He prescribed some tinctures that really helped me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good Naturopathic doctor.

Truthfully the guy didn't do much for me. He is a nice guy and he listens to what you have to say but I feel his input was way too little. I give him one star because he did introduce quinoa to me but that,s about it.
If he ever reads this I hope that he can take some tips from this. He should have had me keep a food Journal, but he did not. He should tell you about staying away from GMO food, preservatives, but he real did not talk too much about that. I mean most of the stuff he told me was basic stuff you can find in a health book. And most of the things that made me start feeling better

Dr. Tim Dymond is one of the most caring people I've ever met and his doctoring was life-changing for me. I saw him for several different issues, and his treatments were completely effective. It was especially apparent that between sessions he'd spent a lot of time considering an individually-tailored approach to my healing. And then after all that he even made recommendations for other kinds of practitioners and things I could do to improve my health even more. Truly holistic!

Tim is a rockstar!
I came to him suffering from a variety of stomach issues. It had been almost two years of visits to different doctors with no solution in sight. In four months working with Tim, 95% of my symptoms are gone and more importantly, I know what I need to do to stay healthy.
Unlike the expensive specialists I saw, Tim spent tons of time with me and was committed to getting me better. Tim's optimism rubbed off on me and I'm sure was part of the reason I have recovered so quickly.
Tim is super nice, very professional and I recommend him highly to anyone struggling with

When you feel like traditional medicine has failed you (did anyone say Kaiser?), you will try anything, even if at first you are skeptical. But if you are dealing with a chronic problem, and it is not going away, and you want to stop poisoning your body with medications that create other issues, it is good to try something new.

Tim Dymond is the best listener I have met in a long time.
He assesses problems and solutions on a deep level and digs past what most western doctors view as "passable" in terms of helping one to achieve their very best health.
In just 3 short months, my overall bloodwork changed from items that were out of range to "perfect" and he STILL wants to tweek those results to be even better.
I exhibited huge changes in my Vitamin D, zinc and hormone levels without taking any prescriptions - just homeopathic remedies and small supplements like Vitamin C, omega-3s and probiotics
