How does the oncology profession view Naturopathic doctors?

The medical center where my wife had her cancer had a reference for a naturopathic doctor and we used one throughout her cancer treatments of chemotherapy and radiation. Even after her cancer treatment we are following the advice of one. But how are they viewed by oncologists? The oncologists never said not to do what the naturopathic doctor recommended, but it seems to me they viewed his expertise a little differently. So how are naturopathic doctors viewed by oncologists and surgeons?
Peter be careful! It is pretty late for me, I should be in bed, but you have given me another great question in your response.

I am not an oncologists. But have dealt with them. Some have no issues, others do. That simple. Of those that do, it is mostly like you say as long as it is complementary therapy and not the therapy itself. They are viewed differently as in many states there is no regulations on naturopaths adding to confusion.

My oncologist hasn’t suggested one, nor has he said don’t. Legally speaking they can only advise radiation, surgery or chemotherapy for cancer patients.

I believe in the coming age you will see more mutidiscplinary approaches. Personally, I have opted out of chemo for alternative therapy.
