Dr. Kristen McElveen

Dr. Kristen McElveen is a naturopathic doctor who has been in private practice in Springvale since 2009. Her focus is in chronic illness, which often includes Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illness. She educates patients on clinical nutrition and lifestyle changes as much as possible before resorting to herbal, nutraceutical or pharmaceutical medicine. After earning her pre-med degree at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, GA, she received her naturopathic medical degree from National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM), the first and oldest accredited naturopathic medical school in the US. After 2 years of residency at NCNM, she moved back to the East coast and started her practice, Bare Medicine, in the heart of Southern Maine.
