Dr. Preety Shah has practiced naturopathic and holistic medicine in Elgin and the Fox Valley area for more than 20 years, with a clinical focus on chronic disease. She holds two doctorates and served as full-time faculty at an accredited naturopathic medical school, teaching clinical nutrition, functional medicine, biochemistry and pharmacology.
Consultations are conducted primarily in person, with telemedicine available. Each begins with a thorough review of the patient's history and an assessment of the underlying drivers of chronic illness. Dr. Shah explains those findings in detail, on the principle that a patient who understands the disease process is better equipped to participate in their own care.
Dr. Shah's process begins with a free 15-minute discovery call, so you understand the approach before committing to it. Your first visit then runs a full two hours; this allows her to trace your symptoms to their root cause. From there, Dr. Shah's four-step approach corrects the deficiencies and conditions driving your illness, so improvement holds.
Dr. Shah believes that understanding your own health is what makes lasting change possible. She takes time to listen, explains what may be contributing to your symptoms, and builds an individualized prevention plan around your history, your habits, and your goals.
Dr. Shah earned a bachelor's degree in microbiology, a doctorate in Naturopathic medicine in 2005, and a second doctorate in Chiropractic medicine in 2010. She taught full time at National University of Health Sciences in Lombard and mentored third- and fourth-year medical students in homeopathy, hydrotherapy and clinical nutrition at its Whole Health Center.

A discovery call is a 15 minute appointment directly with Dr. Shah allowing you to ask questions regarding your health, understand Dr. Shah's approach to treatments and what can be expected. It can be done over the phone, zoom or in person. You can call our office or email at Wellness@NaturalRoute.org
