Hi. I’m Dr. brett Orser, B.Sc., ND.
I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor currently practicing in Victoria B.C. at Backfit Clinic. I have always had a strong desire to understand how things work and why things are the way they are. This inquisitive mind combined with a passion for biology and the human body, lead me towards my career as a Naturopathic Physician.
The road to Naturopathic Medicine began in 2011 at the University of Victoria where I completed a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biology. During this time, I became more interested in Physiology and Genetics as these courses helped to answer the core questions I have always asked such as why and how do things happen in the human body. After my time at the University of Victoria, I was accepted into the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine to complete another four-year degree leading to my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine in 2019.
On a professional note, I am a positive and caring individual who wants to provide the best care to my patients so they can enjoy a healthy life. As a Naturopathic Doctor I believe that asking “why symptoms or conditions are present” is the key to uncovering the root causes and to achieve long term healing. I can do this by taking the time to ask detailed questions and listening to my patients during a thorough consultation, physical exam, and laboratory testing to assess my patients as a whole. When patients work with me, together we can build the foundation for a healthy and happy life.
On a personal note, I am an energetic and active person that enjoys physical activity of any kind. I have always loved sports and have played my fair share of them. During my time at the University of Victoria, I played for the varsity hockey team. I also enjoy volleyball, tennis, golf, and snowboarding to name a few. I feel blessed to live and practice in Victoria where there are so many beautiful hikes, lakes, and beaches to explore. I am passionate about healing chronic pain in my patients so that they can all enjoy the activities that they love.
