About us
HELPING PATIENTS SINCE 1996
When Dr. Karen Carrick opened Natural Healthcare & Diagnostics, it was one of the first medical practices in the Triangle area to support a patient centered approach to care that considers the entire individual rather than just a set of symptoms. For persistent conditions, patients are evaluated on a deeper level, with attention to things like mitochondrial energy function or the body’s bacterial antioxidant strength.
“Dr. Carrick is the person I look to for my primary care. Not only are her rates extremely reasonable… she is open-minded, a great listener, and has assisted me in solving issues when other medical professionals said there was nothing wrong with me…. She also has been quick to refer me to others in the very few cases where she felt I needed some other treatment. . . . I trust her implicitly as one of the key people on my healthcare team….”*
