I practice complementary medicine; not just "alternative" medicine. I am licensed in the state of Arizona as a primary care physician; which includes the ability to diagnose and treat any disease states along with prescriptive rights. I prescribe pharmaceuticals on a need basis, but it is not my first line of therapy. I understand the importance of your wellness. To achieve your wellness objectives; you have come to expect the highest levels of service and client care. I am committed to providing you with exceptional care.
Many people ask me, "What is the difference between Naturopathic medicine and traditional allopathic medicine". There are different philosophical approaches to how I approach wellness and disease. The basic tenets of Naturopathic Medicine are featured on the HOME page of the website. Naturopathic physicians are not licensed in all states; and the scope of practice differs in each state that does license naturopaths. Our national professional organization has an informative website (www.naturopathic.org) that has a complete list of licensed states, as well as practitioners like me, who graduated from an accredited institution but may be practicing in an unlicensed state.
Listed below are some of the services that I offer in my practice. I have a strong interest in endocrinology (hormone systems), and the gastrointestinal/digestive system. All the different systems in our body are affected by one other therefore a comprehensive approach is necessary to achieve therapeutic results.

Services Offered
- Bio-identical hormone replacement for both women (menopause) and men (andropause).
Hormone replacement can be done effectively and safely. I use a research based approach and clarify the misunderstanding that is out there in regards to BHRT. Hormone are the master communicators in our body, and a systemic approach that looks at all the hormones together is the best way to optimize treatment. Replacing just one hormone can cause a deficiency in another hormone. More is not always better and instead the optimal "balance" is key. - General hormone replacement for hypothyroidism and adrenal dysfunctions
