Naturopathic Doctor in Arnold, MD

For people in Arnold, Move Forward Natural Health offers naturopathic care by telehealth and in person at the Odenton office, at 1350 Blair Dr Suite HH inside Odenton Chiropractic. Dr. Ryan Kneessi, ND, is a Maryland-licensed naturopathic doctor who earned his ND from National University of Health Sciences in 2013. He focuses on hormones, energy, digestion, and healthy aging, with an emphasis on clear explanations.

Telehealth first, in person when you want it

Arnold sits on the Broadneck Peninsula between the Magothy and Severn rivers, and many residents would rather not spend extra time crossing Route 50 or I-97 for every appointment. That is why many Arnold patients do most of their visits by video. In-office visits are Tuesday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and Monday and Friday are telehealth only. When you want to meet face to face or go over results across the table, the Odenton office is a straightforward drive.

Healthy aging and staying active

Many people in Arnold spend their free time on the water, on the B&A Trail, or chasing kids and grandkids, and they want to keep doing it for decades. Dr. Kneessi has written about markers that relate to aging well, including grip strength and the biomarkers in functional lab testing. In a visit, he explains which of these may be worth checking for you and what the results can and cannot tell you.

Hormone and thyroid questions are also common. The guides to pregnenolone and key thyroid nutrients are useful background reading.

How visits work

Every new patient starts with a free 15-minute call. If it feels like a good fit, the initial consult is a longer visit covering your history, current routines, medications, supplements, and any prior lab work, followed by a written plan that explains the reasoning behind each suggestion. Follow-ups review results and adjust the plan. You can meet in the Odenton office or by video from home in Arnold.

Getting to the office from Arnold

From Arnold, the Odenton office is usually about 25 to 30 minutes away. A typical route is Route 2 or Ritchie Highway south to I-97 north, then Route 32 west toward Odenton. Traffic and your starting point matter, which is one more reason many Arnold residents choose telehealth. Parking is on site.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an office in Arnold?

No. In-person visits take place in Odenton, and telehealth is available to anyone located in Maryland, which is how many Arnold patients prefer to meet.

Will you coordinate with my other doctors?

Yes. Dr. Kneessi is happy to share notes with your other providers when you ask, and he encourages you to keep up with your regular checkups.

Does insurance cover naturopathic visits?

Naturopathic doctors in Maryland are not currently able to contract with insurance companies, so visits are paid directly. Some people submit receipts to their plan or use HSA or FSA funds, and it is worth checking with your plan before your first visit. The 15-minute introductory call is free.

Can a naturopathic doctor be my primary care provider?

No. In Maryland, naturopathic doctors do not serve as primary care providers, so Dr. Kneessi works alongside your existing doctors rather than replacing them, and he encourages you to keep your regular checkups.
