Our Team

The Hillsboro Naturopathic Clinic was started by Dr. Victoria Lutskovsky to achieve her goals of treating the whole person and helping the body improve itself. Dr. Lutskovsky works with other health care professionals, including Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine, Chiropractors, Massage Therapists and various laboratories.

Dr. Lutskovsky graduated as Doctor of Preventative Medicine in former USSR. Aside from traditional medicine, she studied and practiced acupuncture, acupressure, and laser therapy on acupuncture meridians.

After relocating to the United States, Dr. Lutskovsky pursued a course of study in Naturopathic Medicine, graduating from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1998. She currently is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in State of Oregon, running a busy Naturopathic clinic in accordance with regulations about scope of Naturopathic practice.

Dr. Lutskovsky began her medical career in the city of Kharkov, Ukraine. Prior to beginning her post-graduate work, she worked in the Public Health Department, dealing with epidemiology and public health. Her experience with preventative medicine led her to Naturopathic and Homeopathic Medicine.

After receiving her degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1998, she opened the Hillsboro Naturopathic Clinic in Hillsboro, OR. 

Like any other doctor, the Hillsboro Naturopathic Clinic places the patient’s health as its number one goal. We cannot forget that we treat a person, not a disorder. To us, this means we keep in mind the overall well-being of the patient as we help him or her overcome anything they are dealing with.

She commonly works with gastrointestinal disorders, hormone disorders, thyroid dysfunction, musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain, anxiety and depression, allergies and mast cell activation, migraines and headaches, autoimmune disease, environmental medicine (mold illness, heavy metal toxicity, other environmental toxins), Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension.

In her time away from practicing medicine, Dr. Valerie enjoys spending time with her family and community of friends. She finds joy and balance in hiking, gardening, and travel.
