Services
We offer Traditional Chinese Acupuncture as a natural, drug-free method to support pain relief and overall wellness. Through precise stimulation of acupuncture points, we help balance energy, calm the nervous system, and encourage healthy body function. Our goal is to help you feel better by supporting the bodys natural ability to restore balance. 
Our colon hydrotherapy service provides a controlled and gravity-fed cleansing experience using an open irrigation system. Water is slowly introduced to the colon to assist in releasing accumulated waste while maintaining comfort and privacy. Each session is carefully monitored and generally lasts 45 minutes. This therapy supports regular elimination and overall digestive wellness. 
We provide homeopathic care grounded in a holistic medical system that supports the bodys innate ability to restore balance and health. Our approach focuses on identifying and addressing underlying imbalances rather than suppressing symptoms. Through individualized consultations, we guide patients toward natural, gentle, and effective support for both acute and long-standing health concerns. 
We provide professional infrared sauna therapy using advanced full-spectrum technology. The sauna is equipped with near, mid, and far infrared lamps and medical-grade chromotherapy lights. This system was chosen for its low electromagnetic and extremely low frequency emissions. Regular sessions are recommended to encourage detoxification and physical renewal. Clients enjoy a comfortable, private setting for each session. 
Our Ionic Foot Detox is a non-invasive therapy that lasts approximately 45 minutes and focuses on restoring balance within the body. By using an ionic charge, the process encourages toxins to exit through the feet and supports overall wellness. The treatment aims to enhance immune strength and cellular energy. Changes in the water are commonly observed throughout the session. 
Our ozone therapy service utilizes medical-grade oxygen transformed into a therapeutic gas to assist the bodys natural defenses. By increasing oxygen availability, this approach helps the immune system function more efficiently. Ozone is valued for its ability to neutralize unwanted microorganisms. Treatment options are carefully selected to promote healing, circulation, and internal detox support.

I have been coming to Natural Medicine and Detox for 5 months. There are no words to describe the level of compassion and love received there. Their services are well priced compared to others I have seen. If you are unwell, mentally or physically, or you are in need of an alternative medical plan, this is the place for you. They really care about my well-being and I know they will do the same for you.

I would recommend Natural Medicine and Detox 10/10. I have had a few ozone treatments, an ionic foot bath, as well as acupuncture here. I am grateful I have a space to go and detox my body naturally, help boost my immune system and take care of me without harming myself with OTC or perscription drugs. The staff is kind, Doctor Fontes is smart & funny. I appreciate the energy held in the environment. If you are looking for holistic healing and wellness you found the right place! A friend of mine Melissa Freeman worked there and lead me to this wonderful lil sanctuary. Thank you Melissa and thank you NMD, I'll keep coming back!

Natural Medicine and Detox is a 5 star team, and facility. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for true healing, especially in a natural, long lasting, and holistic way.
Dr. Fontes is an incredible doctor, and genuinely takes the time to get to the root of illness. He has so many amazing healing modalities he utilizes. Pain, and "disorders" I was told would be with me for life from other western Doctors, I don't think twice about now, as the pain has left.
All of the practitioners at this practice are wonderful, and Malissa has always extended her hand out in kindness to share experiences and suggestions to further my healing experience, as well as so many others.
I have been seeing them since 2017, and can truly say, that they have changed the trajectory of my life, for the best.
Thank you Natural Medicine and Detox

I love coming to natural medicine for treatments. Dr Fontes and his staff are wonderful. I usually get acupuncture and the other day I got a vitamin infusion. I feel taken care of and heard. If you're thinking about trying them out do yourself a favor and make an appointment. Melissa has good info on sprouting and other healthy stuff.

Hands down, the best natural medical center I have been to! They have helped to not only treat/help my body from the inside out, they have also helped to balance mood and energy in the process. Dr. Mario, Melissa and the entire staff have been there to help treat my entire family at one time or another. One of my sons, who happens to be on the "Spectrum" has made noticeable improvements in communication and attention, since visiting the facility. WELL WORTH IT!!!
