Carrie Jones, ND

“A holistic doctor treating the whole person.”

Dr. Carrie Jones is the Naturopathic Medical Director at SFM.  Besides caring for patients, she oversees the naturopathic training of all our providers and staff and oversees the naturopathic care that is provided in our clinic.  She has been in a successful private practice for several years in Tigard and is adjunct faculty at the National College of Natural Medicine here in Portland.  She is currently accepting new patients from puberty and up.  She functions as a primary care physician for many of her patients. Patients can choose to have Dr. Jones as their primary care provider, or they can choose to see her on an as needed basis to integrate her naturopathic care with their medical care.

“I do not believe in treating disease only.   People walk through my door, not disease.   The body has an amazing ability to self-heal yet sometimes it needs a little support and direction.  This is where I come in.”

Dr. Jones sees both men and women.  She did, however, receive additional training in women’s health and hormone balance. She also has expertise in all aspects of gastrointestinal disorders that including Celiac, irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, intestinal yeast, food allergies and sensitivities. Because she has a holistic mind-set, Dr. Jones employs a number of tests not normally found in the typical doctor’s office. These additional forms of testing can provide a wealth of additional information when traditional medical testing tells the patient everything is just “fine” and the patient doesn’t feel “fine.”

“Great health doesn’t happen overnight but you have the ability to achieve some amazing results. Naturopathic medicine has so much to offer and so much of it is scientific based and research based. I feel fortunate to be part of such an amazing field. I love taking the latest and greatest in naturopathic medicine and bring that to my patients.  Take that and integrate it with medical therapies with the other providers in the clinic and you’ve got a whole new approach to holistic health!”

Dr. Jones uses a variety of treatments that include herbal medicine, vitamins, minerals and nutritional support, homeopathic remedies, amino acid support, bioidentical hormones, and prescribes medications when necessary. Her naturopathic license allows her to run lab work, order imaging (such as mammograms), and perform exams like a pap smear or ear infection check. She also has a DEA license which enables her to write medical prescriptions when necessary.

Dr. Jones graduated from the National College of Natural Medicine, School of Naturopathic Medicine located in Portland, Oregon where she is currently an Adjunct Faculty. She completed a 2 year residency in advanced women’s health, gynecology, and hormones. Currently she is co-authoring a book on HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and Cervical Dysplasia/Cervical Cancer and frequently writes and lectures on the subject of women’s health.

She lives in SE Portland with her husband and two dogs in a 100 year old house they recently remodeled (2-plus years later). She enjoys traveling and visiting the ocean from all over the world, visiting wine country, reading, and soaking up vitamin D the old fashion way.  She’s a self professed medical journal junkie and combs the latest research articles. We call her our "medical geek."  As the Naturopathic Medical Director here at SFM, Dr. Jones ensures that other providers and the staff receive training on the latest in holistic health.
