Dr. Igor Schwartzman
Naturopathic physician. Teacher. Listener. For over 20 years, Dr. Schwartzman has helped people move past managing symptoms and into the deeper work of understanding what their body has been trying to tell them all along.
Medicine that begins with a story.
Deep listening has been my guiding principle for nearly two decades of clinical practice. I believe that to be truly witnessed and heard is one of the most powerful forms of healing we can receive from another person, and it shapes how I practice medicine every day.
Health is never defined solely by the absence of disease. It's a dynamic balance of body, mind, and spirit, and most people arrive already knowing something is off long before a lab test confirms it. This belief is the heart of what I call Beyond Medicine.
What patients say about working with Dr. Schwartzman.
"Dr. Schwartzman brings true meaning to the words 'whole' and 'wellness'. He has steadfastly encouraged me to explore an exciting and mysterious spiritual path of a completely different kind."— Catherine J.
"Without your guidance, counsel, and loving kindness, I would not have had the courage to step out and find my voice. You led me to find and become a better version of myself."— Rebekah
"What strikes me most about Dr. Schwartzman is how I leave an appointment with so much more than I arrived with. His intuitiveness, compassion, and knowledge are unlike any I've experienced."— Lisa J.
Trained in medicine. Inspired to listen.
Dr. Schwartzman was born and raised in Moldova, a small Eastern European country. His inspiration for becoming a physician came from his grandmother — also a doctor — whose deep commitment to her community taught him the true meaning of being a good listener.
He completed his training at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, with over 20 years in natural health, medicine, and research, and work published in the American Journal of Respiratory Care and Medicine and the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Today he sees patients exclusively via telehealth in Oregon, Washington, and Vermont, and continues to serve as an expert in lifestyle and preventive medicine, having contributed to iCaduceus, a software-based diagnostic and treatment support system for clinicians.
Why I do naturopathic medicine.
My definition of health is not the absence of disease — it is a living balance between body, mind, and spirit.
I believe you need to be heard.
I believe you — and what you experience.
I believe optimal health is not an option — it is your birthright.
I focus on restoring health, not managing symptoms.
I offer you choices, and empower you to be an active participant in your own healing.
I use gentle, non-invasive approaches with no harsh side effects.
