I'm glad you brought up the point of doctors working together. I have had not one problem with it.
For the ADD meds, the urine test and the natural supplements were all done by the naturopath, no need for the regular doctor to get involved. I also got a copy of the test results which I could take to a MD if I needed to.
For other family meds which required a prescription, the compounding pharmacy simple provided a copy of their findings and sent it with a request to fill the prescription. We already have a relationship with those docs and informed them we were going for alternative treatment. They were very cooperative.
In walking distance of my house, I do have a practice that has different naturopathic specialists. I see them popping up all over. It seems to be a more west coast thing but I'm sure in time it will get to the east coast.
