Your Trusted Naturopathic Doctor in San Francisco
Since 2001, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals restore their health through gentle, natural medicine. As a licensed naturopathic doctor in California, I combine modern medical science with time-honored healing methods such as homeopathy, herbal medicine, nutrition, hydrotherapy, and strain-counterstrain. My approach emphasizes listening to patients, addressing both mind and body, and utilizing physical assessments and laboratory testing to create personalized treatment plans. Trained at Bastyr University, I received rigorous education in alternative medicine, including the same foundational medical science as conventional doctors, with clinical focus on natural, low-force therapies.My four-year tenure at the Bastyr University Research Institute, an NIH-funded center, honed my ability to critically evaluate medical research, a skill I apply daily in practice. Prior to Bastyr, I worked as a holistic bodyworker for six years, studying movement therapy, Ortho-Bionomy, and Chinese herbology, which deepened my understanding of holistic health. My commitment to patient-centered care empowers individuals to take control of their health through education, transparency, and evidence-based natural therapies.

We use personalized treatment plans combining homeopathy, herbal medicine, and nutrition.

As an acupuncturist, I am not as easy patient. While I have good compliance, I have a lot of chronic health issues and have tried a lot of different treatments. I came to Dr Dymond at an extremely low point health wise, and he's been super helpful. His treatment and perspective has aligned really well with some other work I had just started doing. So it felt like he was a perfect fit for where I was at in my healing process. He is open to hearing my thoughts and gives honest feedback. He's a very traditional naturopath - doesn't do a lot of extra testing, doesn't overprescribe

I highly recommend Dr. Tim Dymond. I came to him initially for help resolving Grave's disease. I was looking for someone who would partner with me, support me in the process of self-healing that I was already engaged in. He really honors the individual's capacity to rebalance and heal. I have been in remission for many years now. Since then, Dr. Dymond has been there to support me many times when I've needed expertise to resolve health issues or tangles brought about through natural life transitions. He was even able to catch a fracture in my son's wrist that had been missed

I saw Dr. Dymond from Aug '18 - Feb '19 for eczema. He came recommended by a friend. He helped me successfully navigate through the elimination provocation process to discover I have food intolerances. The rash completely went away and my digestion has improved. During that time, I also struggled a lot with work stress. The herb tinctures he prescribed helped me get through that as well. I highly recommend Dr. Dymond for any health needs you want to address. He's very easy to talk to, non-judgmental, a kind man and good at what he does.

Dr. Tim is a wizard. He was able to diagnose and help treat a brutal condition which regular doctors kept making worse. I am now on the road to recovery, and I owe much of it to him. The knowledge of his craft and care for his patients is second-to-none. Went through lots of doctors before I finally found him. So grateful I did! Highly recommended!

Since becoming a patient of Dr Tim over 10 years ago, I've rarely been sick or had the need to take any pharmaceuticals. He balances Western medicine with holistic and herbal approaches to one's health. His advice on diet, movement, and mind has been most helpful in a stressful world. I visit him on a regular basis for a tune-up and some healing body work.
Tim cares about his patients and that shows in the results.

I have received such good care from Tim Dymond. He helped me finally get a diagnosis on what has been ailing me for years. It has been a real battle and Kaiser would never have followed through and figured out what was going on. My condition has stumped literally dozens of health care practitioners, allopathic and otherwise. It has been soooo frustrating. To have Tim in my corner has made a huge difference, and he's been able to figure things out where so many gave up. He knows a lot, he listens, he follows through, he studied my case when I had no idea he was still thinking of me, long after my
