About Us
Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine is an established naturopathic medicine practice in Long Beach, California, providing highly personalized, comprehensive care through a membership-based model. Founded in 2007, the Center has a long history of helping patients address complex and chronic health concerns through an individualized, whole-person approach to medicine.
Our philosophy is rooted in understanding the interconnected factors that influence a patient’s health rather than focusing solely on individual symptoms. We take the time to understand each patient’s full health story, identify underlying contributors to their concerns, and develop thoughtful, individualized treatment strategies that incorporate naturopathic medicine alongside conventional medical care when appropriate.
Our clinical areas of focus include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, women’s and men’s health, thyroid health, gastrointestinal health, metabolic and weight management, autoimmune conditions, environmental illness, cardiovascular and cognitive health, and preventive medicine.
Our membership model allows our doctors to build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients and provide the time, attention, follow-through, and continuity of care needed to address complex and evolving health needs. Collaboration is an important part of our practice, with providers working together to evaluate challenging cases and develop comprehensive treatment strategies.
At Sklar Center, our goal extends beyond helping patients manage symptoms. We strive to be trusted advocates and partners in their health, helping them restore function, improve quality of life, and build a strong foundation for long-term health.
We are equally committed to creating a collaborative clinical environment where our doctors can continue to grow, learn from one another, and practice naturopathic medicine at a high level.
Position Overview
We are seeking a compassionate, skilled, and motivated Naturopathic Doctor to join our collaborative clinical team. The ideal candidate is an experienced clinician who is passionate about providing comprehensive, individualized naturopathic care and developing meaningful, long-term relationships with patients.
This position requires a strong clinical foundation in naturopathic medicine, with experience in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and an interest in caring for both women and men across different stages of life. The ideal candidate should be comfortable evaluating and managing patients with complex and chronic health conditions, including environmentally related illness and mold exposure, as well as interpreting comprehensive laboratory and diagnostic testing and developing individualized treatment plans.

We are looking for a naturopathic doctor who values clinical excellence, thoughtful patient care, collaboration, continued learning, and being an active part of the growth and long-term vision of Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine. Experience with intravenous therapy and current IV Therapy Certification are preferred.
