Meet Dr. Autumn Dugas
Dr. Autumn Dugas is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with a wide range of clinical interests and a passion for treating a broad spectrum of diagnostic concerns. She earned her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in San Diego, California, in 2022 and completed a dual residency at Frontier Cancer Center and Yellowstone Naturopathic Clinic. During this residency, Dr. Dugas specialized in Naturopathic Oncology and Family Medicine, focusing on Pediatrics, Women’s Health, and Regenerative Medicine.
Dr. Dugas' journey into Naturopathic Oncology was deeply personal. At age 22, her best friend, Logan, was diagnosed with cancer, and the conventional treatment regimen failed to address key fundamentals for Logan’s quality of life and overall oncologic success. Inspired by Logan’s journey, Dr. Dugas set out to create a medical environment where naturopathic and conventional approaches work in harmony, supporting positive outcomes, proactive prevention, and the empowerment of thriving families. Today, Dr. Dugas collaborates with inter-professional colleagues and integrates naturopathic, functional, conventional, and holistic care when treating her patients.
Dr. Dugas is passionate about empowering mothers and families through education on natural and holistic treatment options. She believes that by supporting women, you impact entire communities, as strong families and children are the foundation for positive change in the world. "Parents are naturally intuitive when it comes to their children’s well-being, and I honor this while educating, guiding, and supporting them on the path to lasting solutions," she says.
As a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, her primary goal is to find the root cause of illness and work closely with families to support true healing, ultimately empowering you and your families to grow and thrive.
Her commitment to service extends beyond the clinic. Dr. Dugas has volunteered in Mexico and South Africa, where she worked in rural free community clinics, specializing in emergency medicine, obstetrics, gynecology, and nutritional medicine. Additionally, she has expertise in regenerative injection and IV therapies and has completed additional training through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Dugas has also been involved in various health advocacy initiatives, including legislative lobbying at both the national and state levels.
Dr. Dugas is married her best friend, Joshua, and together they welcomed their first child and greatest blessing in 2022. She is passionate about her faith, her family and her work. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, running, reading thriller novels, and exploring new places with Joshua. She feels truly honored to serve the community of Billings, Montana.
