Dr. Michael Walker specializes in naturopathic oncology, a unique discipline that offers expert guidance in safe and evidence-informed integrative approaches to whole person cancer care. He believes that patients with cancer benefit greatly from working with a multidisciplinary team of medical practitioners to personalize their care.

Dr. Walker graduated from Yale University and subsequently completed post-baccalaureate premedical coursework to pursue medicine. During his four-year naturopathic medical education at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Walker developed a passion for oncology. He was accepted to the highly competitive two-year residency in naturopathic oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America outside of Chicago. As a resident and then as a staff naturopathic provider at CTCA, he collaborated closely with surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other practitioners to optimize patients’ care for a wide range of cancers, including rare tumors. He has further experience in hematologic cancers and supporting patients planning for or who have undergone stem cell transplantation. Dr. Walker is pleased to join Dr. Jen Green, ND at Emcura Integrative in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, to serve clients with cancer diagnoses seeking to include integrative approaches to their plan of care. He also sees patients through Beaumont Health’s Integrative Department at the Troy and Royal Oak campuses. 

Dr. Walker is a fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO) and a board member of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OncANP).
