Primary Care Physicians
Naturopathic Medical Doctors (NMD) are considered primary care physicians in the state of Idaho as well as 23 other states in the U.S. This means that licensed NMDs are able to order labs, imaging and medications as conventional providers and serve as an entry point into the healthcare system. As naturopathic primary care physicians, Dr. Toby and Dr. LuAnn Roy also have the training to implement a number of additional tools such as lifestyle counseling, nutrition, supplementation, botanical medicine, homeopathy, mind-body medicine, physical medicine, specialized testing and more.
The advantage of having a naturopathic physician as a primary care provider or as part of your medical team means receiving longer patient appointment visits as well as the whole-person care centered approach. At the same time, NMDs also have the access to most conventional medical resources and abilities, which gives patients access to the many tools in their primary care tool kit.
Our physicians at CDA Acupuncture & Holistic Healing are unique as we do accept insurance as well as out-of-network benefits. Should our providers not be accepted by your insurance, we do accept self-payment as well. Learn more about our practitioners and staff below and call the front desk for availability and scheduling.
Dr. Toby Hallowitz
Naturopathic Medical Doctor, Master of Science in Oriental Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist
Dr. Hallowitz is a naturopathic medical doctor (NMD), classically-trained Chinese medicine practitioner and licensed acupuncturist providing alternative medicine options to the Inland Northwest community. He concentrates his treatments on whole-patient wellness, evidence-based clinical naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine theory and therapies that have been practiced over the past millennia. Dr. Toby tailors to each individual patient’s unique condition rather than focusing on the disease. Using natural treatment modalities such as acupuncture, dietary modification, nutritional supplements, botanical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, Chinese herbology, nature cure, and hydrotherapy, he emphasizes prevention and restoration of balance to the body, mind and spirit.
Dr. Toby grew up in the Washington D.C. metro area, obtained his undergraduate education at the University of Rochester, NY and received his Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and Master of Science in Oriental Medicine at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in Portland. Dr. Toby has worked with patients who have many different health concerns and conditions. Some of these include: cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, smoking, autoimmune disease, heavy metal toxicity, musculoskeletal complaints, infertility, pregnancy (including pre-birth acupuncture), menopausal symptoms, insomnia, back & neck pain, depression, anxiety, dermatological conditions and much more. Diagnosed years ago with Crohn's disease, he has a vast amount of experience in treating digestive disorders with natural medicine. Dr. Toby does not take any pharmaceutical medications for his condition.
Dr. Luann Roy
Naturopathic Medical Doctor
Dr. LuAnn Roy is a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor dedicated to integrative and regenerative medicine. She earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Connecticut and went on to receive her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine—now Sonoran University of Health Sciences—in Arizona.
With extensive experience in primary care and a passion for whole-person wellness, Dr. Roy specializes in hormone optimization, integrative medicine, and advanced regenerative therapies. Her clinical expertise includes joint and facial PRP procedures, peptide therapy, IV nutrient therapy, vitamin injection therapy, and regenerative modalities such as Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) and the Tennant Biomodulator. FSM is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses subtle frequencies to support cellular repair, reduce pain, and restore optimal function—offering patients a unique path to healing and vitality.
Dr. Roy fell in love with the beauty and lifestyle of Northern Idaho and relocated with her husband, son, and their dog to make Coeur d’Alene their home. When she isn’t caring for patients, she enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, and cherishing simple moments with her family.
She is honored to join the team at CDA Acupuncture & Holistic Healing and looks forward to serving the community with compassionate, integrative care.
