It’s been awesome working with Dr. Ibarra on my health: I started off going to Natural Med Doc because I’m in my 30s and for years I was tired and had low energy, and just wasn’t feeling good in general. I had seen multiple primary care doctors and for the most part they would tell me I just need to eat better and exercise and leave it at that. I even was told that I’m just lazy.When I started going to Dr. Ibarra, she ordered an array of labs to get a full picture and we found that my hormones, blood sugar, and multiple other factors were all out of whack. So by the 2nd appointment I was on hormone therapy, and she had a customized plan in place to get me back on track. I’d say within 2 weeks I felt better, had more energy, less anxiety, and just a better outlook on the day. She continues to tweak the plan after each visit to work on optimizing my body chemistry and also to tailor my plan to help with any specifics I want to work on. Recently, she suggested a 14-day cleanse that I agreed to try and, to my surprise, I was able to eat real food. Because of this, I was able to stick to it, lost 16lbs in 14 days and immediately felt benefits of less bloating and better sleep. After the 14 days I had more labs done and found that my bad cholesterol and triglycerides all significantly decreased just by eating differently and doing absolutely no exercise. I’m still a work in progress but I’m confident I’ll get to where I want to be health wise with the help of Dr. Ibarra.

I came to Dr. Bennett a year ago feeling like I needed a change from the traditional western medicine approach. I knew that I wasn’t feeling right and I was not content with the traditional approach of being prescribed a medication that would cause me many side effects so I sought out the care of a naturopathic doctor instead.WOW was I impressed! Dr. Bennett is a breath of fresh air and she really listens to you. She is so thorough as she orders detailed lab work and goes through it with you step by step. She makes it so that you understand how everything correlates with one another and why you might be feeling the way that you do. She listens and addresses all of your concerns as she truly wants you to feel your best. I am very grateful for her care.

Dr. Bennett and her team have been a lifesaver. I finally found someone who listened to me and is helping my body heal in the way it should. If you’re struggling with PCOS &/or hypothyroidism, she’s great for you. I felt hopeless until I discovered Dr. Bennett. I’m incredibly thankful for her knowledge, patience and willing to dig to find root causes and treat those, not just the symptoms.Every appointment is based off of relevant lab work which goes to show she really cares about what’s going on in your body.I highly recommend to anyone.

Before going to Dr. Ibarra my hormones were way out of whack, I had terrible cramping, irregular menstrual cycles, and some thyroid issues. Over the course of a few months my hormones have fallen into a more ideal range, cycles became regular, and cramping is hardly noticeable! My thyroid levels have come up which improved my energy and mood as well.For unknown reasons I started getting terrible migraines 1-2 times per week, which Dr. Ibarra helped reduce almost immediately. Initially they spaced out to every few weeks and now I know how to stop one as soon as I feel it coming on.I couldn’t recommend a better doctor or practice. Dr. Ibarra truly cares about her patients’ concerns, wants to know about your life in all aspects, and spends as much time with you as you need. I’m grateful to be her patient and strongly recommend booking an appointment with her.

Dr. Sarah Bennett is a highly educated professional. She has spent a considerable amount of time with me helping me work through multiple issues. Initially I was struggling with menopause. I was experiencing difficulty sleeping, hot flashes, anxiety, brain fog and overall lack of well being. Under Dr. Bennett’s direction (lifestyle changes and supplements) my symptoms diminished and I was able to resume a productive life. I recently returned to Dr Bennett for assistance with chronic migraine and acid reflux. I have suffered from Migraine my whole life but as I approach 60 the number of migraines per month were increasing. My life was once again a horrible struggle. Through diet change Dr Bennett has eliminated ALL of my migraines. I have gone from having 5 to 6 migraines per month to no migraines. I have been without migraine for 5 month now. I am ecstatic!!!! She is amazing. Additionally I was suffering from Chronic Acid Reflux. This has caused me a constant soar throat, ear ache, anxiety, breathing issues and overall exhaustion. I went to an ear nose and throat doctor before I approached Dr. Bennett with this issue because I was afraid it was cancer. The ENT prescribed a prescription proton-pump inhibitor that I would have to take for rest of my life. After researching the medication I found that not only did it have bad side effects but the drug would not cure the problem. It could make it worse. So I contacted Dr. Bennett once again. Through diet, lifestyle changes and supplements I am healing. Many of the Acid Reflux symptoms are starting to go away. I am sleeping better and I am not on a pharmaceutical with side effects.Thank you Dr. Bennett. You are amazing and I strongly recommend you to others. Without you I would now be taking a prescription cocktail every morning and evening.

Dr. Sarah C. Bennett is a very good naturopathic medical doctor.For those seeking an alternative to conventional medical care I recommend that you search for a Naturopathic Medical Doctor, NMD who has graduated from an accredited naturopathic medical school such as Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Science (SCNM), or Bastyr University.Dr. Sarah C. Bennett, who graduated from SCNM, is an excellent example of a highly qualified Naturopathic Medical Doctor. I have found that she has a remarkable understanding of health care in general and a uniquely deep knowledge of “science-based” naturopathic medicine. I would highly recommend her to care for my closest friends and family.

I have an autoimmune disease that leaves me fatigued and dizzy. I began treatment with Natural Med docs in 2021 and have seen improvement. My energy level has increased from an average of 4 out of 10 to 7 out of 10. I have been able to resume a lot of my activities of daily living. Lab work is more in depth and I am medically guided according to how my body responds to treatment. My MD did a couple of thyroid tests last year and said “I don’t know why I’m checking this. I don’t know why I am checking this.” She did not know how to treat me based on the lab results anyway. This is an allopathic failure, as they do not have answers needed for Hashimoto’s and other Autoimmune diseases.I, for one, feel better, am making progress. I plan to continue with this practice, even though it is an out of pocket expense. (Along the lines of when I was paying for private insurance.)

My experience with Dr. Bennett has already been life-changing, and we’ve only just gotten started. She had a very comfortable and thorough intake conversation with me that helped give her an idea of all my concerns and then ordered lab work to analyze my nutrient, hormone and immune levels.She then prescribed 4 supplements that would help the problem areas that she found and they are ALREADY helping certain areas after just a few days. Mind you, these are problems and frustrations I have dealt with my entire LIFE – other doctors just kept checking for iron deficiencies or other problems that I just didn’t have. Dr. Bennett got to the root of what turned out to be hormonal imbalances and has me on a fast track to normalcy and a more fulfilling life. I’m excited to see the long term results and already so grateful for all she has done!

Dr. Bennett is amazing!! She really took the time to do a thorough exam and questionnaire. She actually had a conversation with me regarding issues in my body that I have been trying to manage since childhood. For the first time I found a doctor that listened and didn’t just think I was crazy or try and give me yet another pill. She was so easy to talk to and I am super excited to have her help me on this journey to a life worth living! I cannot express the gratitude I feel.

I have been going to see Dr. Bennett for almost a year now. My first appointment with her was very good..she was very knowledgeable and explained everything. When I had my consult for my first blood draw, it was nothing short of amazing. The meeting lasted over an hour and she explained every line and what we had to do.Fast forward to today. With Dr. Bennett’s help and guidance, all of my levels from my last blood draw are in the normal or good range (there are a few that are a work in progress).I have been sleeping better, I’m losing weight (about 15 lbs), my mood is better, I’m tapering down on my antidepressants and I just have an overall better outlook.Do I recommend her………HELL YES..Don’t wait another minute, go see her. It could change your life. It did mine.

Dr. Bennett is amazing. She has helped me start to feel energetic and awake again. No more brain fog for me. Are you having thyroid issues and tired of your doctor only looking at “numbers” and not considering your symptoms? Then make an appointment with Dr. Bennett now. She really listens to you and her expertise is second to none. Plus, the staff at Natural Med Doc is top notch in customer service.

Thankful that I saw the ad for Natural Med Doc. I have literally tried everything else and seen multiple specialists to no avail. I saw Dr. Ibarra about a month ago and she prescribed supplements to help me based on my blood work. She also suggested a change in diet and exercise. I just finished my second checkup and my most of my numbers came into normal range in just a month!!! I worked hard and followed the guidance given and I’m getting results. I have much more energy I don’t have to take a nap every day either. Thank you Natural Med Doc!!!

I’ve known Dr. Bennett for about 3 years now so I got a chance to see her build up her practice from the start. I was amazed at how quickly she became one of the best naturopaths in Arizona, and that’s probably because what she does is amazing!I came to her because I felt like I wasn’t getting all the right nutrients in my diet. She ran some blood tests and showed me what I was missing, and what I should start eating and supplementing. Now I’ve got the peace of mind knowing I’m healthy.She takes her work seriously and does her due diligence researching the most effective information out there, to best serve you. If you read her blog articles, they’re incredibly thorough and each article has a long list of publications she references. It’s stuff you can actually trust! Definitely worth scheduling an appointment with Dr. Bennett.

Unfortunately, we do not know any other naturopathic doctors in Arizona that take insurance and deliver the same quality of care we do. We are a cash-based medical practice that goes above and beyond for each patient. This has allowed us to get better results and solve unwanted health symptoms that many patients have been dealing with for decades. Cost varies based on the patient’s needs.

Yes, we are able to run labs through your insurance. We also offer affordable cash-based labs.
Yes, weight loss is one of the primary areas we help with. Unlike traditional weight loss programs our strategy is based on data from your bloodwork.
There can be multiple things that can be causing you to gain weight. We will pinpoint what it is and develop a plan to reach your health goals.
Naturopathic Medical Doctors (NMDs) have training in conventional medicine and natural therapeutics. Naturopathic Doctors attend federally-accredited 4-year post-graduate level medical schools and are trained in the same medical sciences and treatment options as Medical Doctors (MDs). This includes pharmaceuticals, imaging, labs, and so on.
Naturopathic physicians are often known to run more labs than conventional doctors. This is because naturopathic medicine treats problems and concerns based on a stricter lab reference range known as the optimal range.
This optimal range is based on research showing improvement not only in symptoms but in disease prevention in the first place. By taking this approach, naturopathic physicians are able to dig deeper to the root causes of a problem and help you find sustainable solutions.
The human body is very complex. Hence why our traditional cookie cutter medical system leaves millions of individuals with health concerns.
This is also most likely why you are reaching out to us today.
