Dr. Tom Lee, NMD, APH, appointed Church Archiator

Dr. Thomas S. Lee, NMD, APH

I am proud to announce that I have been appointed to the position of Church Archiater (from the Greek: chief physician of a community) by Bishop Gene Savoy, Jr. I am honored to accept that post to assist our Community. I also serve in the capacity of Director of Health Services at The Church’s Healing Center & Spa at Steamboat Hot Springs, where I maintain an office. This letter is to clarify what my services are and what I can do for those who might seek my help.

I am a naturopathic doctor of a 25-year vintage, and that time has been mostly directed to general or family practice of naturopathic medicine as a licensed physician in Arizona and Washington State. My medical skills and experience include a variety of natural modalities, some of which are examination and diagnosis, physical manipulation, acupuncture, pain management, clinical nutrition, bee venom therapy, exercise rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, allergy clearing, and dermal screening energy medicine. I am an eclectic, general physician rather than a specialist, because patients really never have a single, isolated problem that they need to have “fixed.”

In Reno, we are blessed with excellent medical facilities, great urgent care, and skilled specialty practices of medicine. There are also many diagnostic laboratory and imaging services. Perhaps you have experienced these resources as expensive and somewhat confusing. I can help you to interpret test resources or even direct you to appropriate specialties at a more reasonable rate of expense.

The Healing Center’s website at www.steamboatsprings.org lists my services and time charges (which are discounted for ICC members). The front desk staff are also familiar with my services. As for insurance coverage, I work with licensed Nevada physicians and, depending on your policy definitions, I have been accepted as an out-of-policy provider for some plans. Please discuss these matters with your policy administrator.

I welcome you to come to consult with me at The Healing Center if you are looking for a sympathetic assessment of what to do, when, and where to act on your own health concerns. I get the best results with patients who are actively involved in their own health maintenance. If you are not a Reno resident, I am also available by phone appointment. Please call The Healing Center’s front desk at (775) 853-6000 or e-mail me directly at drtom@steamboatsprings.org.

I look forward to being of service.

Sincerely,

Dr. Thomas S. Lee, NMD, APH
Church Archiater & Director of Health Services,
The Healing Center & Spa at Steamboat Hot Springs
