Your health, in your hands
Dr. Wesley Buckle, a licensed naturopathic doctor in California, is celebrated for his expertise in medical weight loss and metabolic health treatments, as well as his proficiency in hormone therapies. His healthcare practice is characterized by an integrative approach that frequently combines elements of both conventional and natural medicine, focusing on addressing metabolic health concerns and hormonal imbalances that are major factors in weight-related issues and age-related health conditions.
His proficiency in regenerative medicine, particularly in treating chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders, was enhanced under the mentorship of Dr. Tyna Moore, N.D., D.C., a pioneer in regenerative injection treatments such as dextrose prolotherapy. This specialized training has empowered him to provide lasting pain relief to his patients.
Dr. Buckle is dedicated to ongoing education and keeping up with the latest in medical weight loss, metabolic treatments, and hormone therapy innovations. His commitment to patient care is evident in his personalized treatment approaches, ensuring they align with individual health objectives.
He is highly skilled in the practical and clinical aspects of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for both men and women. A major part of his professional dedication lies in rectifying hormone imbalances, which he views as a fundamental element of his practice. This involves addressing prevalent concerns and conditions like menopause, low testosterone, sexual dysfunction, and a range of other hormonal imbalances.
His areas of expertise also include natural pain relief, hormone balance, hormone pellet therapy, sexual health, and medical weight loss methods. Dr. Buckle obtained his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.) degree from the National University of Natural Medicine, following his undergraduate education at Loyola University New Orleans and pre-medical studies at the University of Vermont.
