Kimball C. Atwood IV is an American skeptic from Newton, MA, who is currently an assistant clinical professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, as well as an anesthesiologist at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, where he has worked since 1993. He is the associate editor of the journal Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine, as well as the co-editor of Naturowatch, one of Quackwatch's affiliated sites. Atwood is an outspoken critic of naturopathy, with a paper he published on the topic in 2004 sparking significant controversy and prompting many people to email Atwood, mostly those with naturopathy degrees.
