About Dr. Robert Duplain N.D.

What is Dr. Robert Duplain N.D.?

Dr. Robert Duplain N.D. is a naturopathic doctor's practice at 2730 Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, California. Dr. Robert Duplain, N.D. runs the practice and is its only listed prescriber. The practice is built around primary and family care from a naturopathic perspective, with a broader list of specialties that includes integrative cancer care, digestive health, pulmonary and sinus care, neurological and brain health, infectious and chronic disease, and hormone balancing for men and women. Hormone therapy is one piece of a wider practice rather than its focus, so if that is what brought you here, it is worth confirming what that work actually involves before you book. No particular hormone medications, lab protocols, or telehealth options are named anywhere.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for any service, including hormone balancing. There is no fee listed for a first visit, no mention of package pricing or membership terms, and no statement about whether insurance is accepted. A free 5 to 10 minute phone consultation is offered to discuss the cancer care program specifically, and nothing says this applies to hormone therapy. Anyone interested should ask for the cost of an initial visit, what a follow-up appointment costs, and whether labs or any compounded or prescribed treatments are billed separately.

What should you ask before you book?

Since Dr. Duplain is named as the prescriber, ask directly whether he would be the one managing your hormone therapy and writing any prescriptions involved. Ask what the hormone balancing program actually consists of: whether it relies on lab testing, supplements, prescription hormones, or some mix, since none of that is spelled out. Ask whether appointments happen in person at the Berkeley office, by phone or video, and how follow-up visits and any related lab work are priced. It is also worth asking directly what insurance, if any, is accepted, since that is never addressed.

In its own words: "I specialize in genuinely 'Caring' for patients. I assess each symptom and use my extensive knowledge of the body's natural healing ability to develop effective treatments that improve a patient's physical, mental and emotional health."

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for a naturopathic doctor in Berkeley who treats a wide range of health concerns, including hormone balancing, as part of an ongoing primary care relationship rather than a single-purpose hormone clinic. It is probably not the right match if you want a program built specifically around weight loss, peptides, or longevity protocols, or if you need clear pricing up front before you are willing to call.
