Dr. LEIGH SIERGIEWICZ

I became a naturopathic physician to give patients what they truly need and don’t get from conventional care.  Having experienced the frustration with short appointments and lack of real solutions offered by traditional healthcare myself, I wanted a different approach.  Appointments with me aren’t rushed, symptoms are taken seriously, and a lot of digging and testing is done to find real solutions for things that other healthcare practitioners often brush off.

The first time I visited a naturopathic doctor as a patient many years ago, I was amazed that my doctor took so much time, asked lots of detailed questions, and gave me a list of things that would be our next steps in finding a solution to my symptoms.  I was sold!  I wanted to provide the same kind of comfort and assurance for people.  A few years later I started attending school at Bastyr University where I earned my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine after completing a Bachelor of Arts at Saint Anselm College.

I live in Saco, Maine with my husband Steve and daughter Vivienne.

I chose the name Betula, the Latin genus for birch, which has always been my favorite tree.  It is brighter in the moonlight against the other dark trees and has traditionally been known as “the way shower” in the forest.

I work primarily with women on issues such as fertility, menstrual disorders, menopause, thyroid, autoimmune disease, allergies, and digestive complaints.  I work with children and men on a case by case basis. You can schedule a complimentary discovery call online to see if we would be a good fit to work together.

I work with clients throughout the country via secure video chat and phone, and in person in Portland, Maine.  At this time, Dr. Leigh is only able to consult with clients who reside in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

As a licensed naturopathic doctor, I have the most comprehensive integrative medicine training available in herbal medicine, nutrition, counseling, homeopathy with a holistic view on health and healing.  Conventional standards such as medication and surgery are completely acceptable to NDs when used appropriately.  Naturopathic treatment is not an all or nothing approach.
