Naturopaths near Casa Grande, AZ

An essential principal of Naturopathic medicine is the "healing power of nature"(Vis Medicatrix Naturae). This concept forms the foundation of my belief and approach to medicine. While I treat a wide variety of chronic degenerative diseases, cancer is a passion and important focus of my practice. As such I was a professor of Oncology at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I instructed 4th year Naturopathic medical students. I also served on the board of directors for the "Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians" (OncANP). I was a past Vice President and chair of research for this specialty organization.

My ideal patient is someone who is ready to feel healthy again and find solutions that will actually help without side effects. Due to insurance, it can be hard to find a quality physician that will listen to their chief concerns and address them well. I will always listen to patients and never disregard patient's concerns. My initial appointments are designed to put the patient first and help them see long-lasting results. My overall goal with every patient is to guide and empower them so they may fulfill their own unique purpose and life fulfillment. My passion is helping people achieve their optimal state of health and wellness.
