To my current and prospective patients,

I hope that you are doing well during these difficult times and taking the necessary steps to ensure your health and the health of your loved ones. As you are aware, this is a rapidly evolving situation and requires reactiveness as well as proactiveness. As such, I will be conducting all patient visits as telemedicine visits (phone or video calls) rather than in-office appointments effective immediately, until further notice.

If you do not wish to have telemedicine visits (you wish to see a naturopathic doctor in person) or if you require a visit that can only be done in-office (IV therapy, physical exam, blood draw etc.), you will be able to schedule an appointment with one of my colleagues for the time being who will be able to oversee your case.

Cross Roads Naturopathic is taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of patients. This includes proper hygiene practices, as well as screening procedures implemented by Cross Roads Medical walk-in clinic. Cross Roads Naturopathic is also offering the option for appointments on Sundays when the walk-in clinic is closed, and the entire clinic is less busy overall.

Thank you for your understanding. Only by working together will we be able to help protect those who are most vulnerable in our communities.

In health,
Dr. Andrew McParland, ND

Dr. Andrew McParland, ND is a Vancouver naturopathic doctor and functional medicine practitioner who is accepting new patients at Cross Roads Naturopathic Clinic. Dr. McParland begins by working with his patients to make lifestyle and dietary changes that build the foundation for optimizing health. He has an eye for fine detail, and is a critical thinker and a problem solver who strives to unravel his patients’ health concerns to address the most fundamental cause. He takes a balanced approach that incorporates evidence-based medicine and utilizes best practices from both the worlds of conventional and naturopathic medicine. He respects the role that the mind and emotions play in our overall well-being, and works to empower patients to understand these connections within themselves. He also recognizes the impact that our environments have on our health (work space, home life, and the natural environment) and works with his patients to find strategies to manage and adapt to these different contexts in their lives. His primary tools include individualized nutrition (including diet and conscientious supplementation), IV and injection therapy, botanical medicines, and pharmaceutical medicines. Dr. McParland has a particular focus on treating cardiovascular disease, endocrine & hormonal conditions, digestive concerns, immune system dysfunction (including allergies and autoimmune conditions), metabolic health and weight loss, and mental health and addictions.

In addition to his private practice at Crossroads, Dr. McParland teaches in the department of Biomedical Sciences at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine (BINM) in New Westminster. Dr. McParland completed his naturopathic medical training at BINM, which included a rigorous academic program and comprehensive clinical training which allowed him to serve his local community at the Boucher Naturopathic Medical Clinic and its satellite facilities located throughout Vancouver. His academic background is in Chemistry and Human Biology, having completed an honours undergraduate science degree from the University of Toronto. He is originally from Scarborough, Ontario. In his spare time he enjoys volleyball, rock climbing, live music & comedy, and meals out with friends.
