I am very happy with how I feel and how drastically better my lab stats are now. My triclycerides were very high and within a short time they have come way down. Dr Bennett changed my thyroid meds so that I I feel much better. Dr Bennett is so very nice and caring & most importantly knowledgeable and extremely helpful!!i like how she takes the time to go theough the lab results and explains everything. I’ve never had a doctor spend so much time with me I will continue with this practice as the protocol is working!! I highly recommend this practice. Staff are efficient and super nice too
Great place. They really work hard to get your problems fixed. Less expensive than I would have expected.
Natural Med Doc and Dr. Barnett are wonderful. I found them on Facebook last year and decided to try them for my hormonal issues. Yes, it's expensive but it's definitely worth every cent!! I highly recommend this place if you don't want to deal with synthetic medications in your body!
Dr. Garcia has helped me understand my health markers to a much higher degree than I’ve ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and dedicated!Dr Garcia spent a great deal of time going over details of all important markers and explaining steps I could take to better influence my numbers. She helped me prioritize and made my plan simple enough for me to effectively execute. She’s also been fantastic at responding to any follow up questions. It’s very obvious that she truly cares.I highly recommend Dr Garcia to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated doctor who can help them achieve their best health!
Dr. Springhetti was so patient and kind at my appointments! She was very thorough when she went through my labs. The detail and examples helped me to understand not only what they meant but what I can do to make them better.I asked a lot of questions about supplements, nutrition, lifestyle, etc. and she was patient, understanding and helpful! At the conclusion of my appointment I had a plan of action to take home with me.As a result of my visit and the suggestions from Dr. Springhetti and I find that I have more energy in the morning. I have reduced some of my supplements (yay!), and my focus is better through the day. Thank you!I look forward to my next visit with Dr. Springhetti!
Dr. Ibarra is a great listener and has a wonderful bedside manner. She genuinely wants to help her patients to improve their health concerns.
Dr. Ibarra is amazing. She listens to what I have to say. She's always positive even when I didn't do my best. She's always there to help guide me in the right direction. She helped me with my PCOS when conventional doctors just always wanted to "fix" it with birth control not looking for why I was having prolonged periods or missing periods and actually solve the problems. Within 10 months I found out I'm expecting my first baby at 35. Without her help in getting my body healthier I believe this would have never happened. The office staff is always super friendly, sweet, and helpful. Thank you all 💗
Dr. Springhetti is so kind, personable, and informative. She thoroughly explained my blood work, included notes and diagrams on my labs (for my convenience), and she provided me with a treatment plan that felt doable. She answered all of my questions and addressed all of my health concerns.She showed me how my hormones and thyroid impact my body and mind. She never offered or tried to talk me into going on birth control to regulate my hormones or tried to prescribe me something that only masked my health concerns.Her treatment plan was outlined in a way that would work with my current lifestyle with important changes that I could make without having to drastically change my life. She gave me her opinion on which supplements, medications, and lifestyle changes I should start now and which ones we could discuss implementing in the future, if needed.I really liked that she presented me with all of the information, gave her opinion on a treatment plan, and let me decide how much I could take on to start. She really tried to work with me on a treatment plan that will benefit me and would realistically stick.
I've been with NMD for a while now and feel like I am truly listened to. My latest labs are always meticulously explained. Plausible solutions and treatments are given to address my health concerns. My well being is their only concern. So what are you waiting for? Book an appointment and change your life!
I was very comfortable in my visit to Nat Med today. Dr. Richardson is very knowledgeable and covered everything.
Absolutely love Natural med doc! Everyone is so nice and the service is exceptional! Dr. Bennett is so nice and professional and is an amazing doctor!
I am so thankful I found natural med doctor when I did. I was at such a low point with my hormones as well as my energy level and my moods were not able to be kept to where I would like them. Also was having issues with my intimacy levels I didn't want to be touched or even cuddled. Since I have been with them for the last 9 months to a year it's all changed I can love a very fun enjoyable lifestyle with my little family. My hormones are stable my moods are stable and I'm able to enjoy every day that I wake up. Also, my intimacy levels with my spouse have changed and im able to cuddle and be more comfortable in my own skin now to be more romantic with my spouse! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a more natural way of doing things and that are struggling with modern medicine.

Scottsdale Health Concerns

Approximately 20% of the world population has been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at one point in their life. Scottsdale has a population of approximately 258,064; therefore approximately 51,164 individuals experience IBS issues.

In addition to causing unwanted symptoms, IBS and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) can lead to malabsorption which over time can lead to deficiencies of iron and B12, often resulting in anemias.   Another common deficiency is vitamin D. Fat soluble vitamins like vitamin D are not absorbed efficiently in SIBO.  Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting our immune system, our thyroid function, and mood, among many other things.

If you wake up one day asking yourself what happened to my energy, why am I so anxious, why am I gassy, or bloated all the time, it’s time to get checked for SIBO.

Natural Med Doc is the premier IBS and SIBO specialist in Scottsdale. Call us for a free phone consultation with a health advisor today!

What are the benefits of knowing your Small Intestine Bacteria Levels?

Having healthy levels of bacteria in your gut is the key to a happier life.

Given that bacteria is responsible for maintaining your body’s digestive balance (also called Gastrointestinal system), it is crucial to keep your bacteria at a balanced level so that you can maintain a healthy body at all times.

Even healthy bacteria in the wrong location or in large quantities can cause an issue, which is the case in SIBO. The majority of our gut bacteria, should be housed in the large intestine.

That being so, here are the top three benefits of having a healthy digestive tract:

  • Hormone Balance: SIBO or other gut dysfunctions can increase inflammation in the gut, inflammation in the gut can then lead to hormone imbalances. For example, an increase in cortisol, estrogen, 5-alpha-reductase (a hormone that influences testosterone production). Common signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance would be changes in the menstrual cycle, acne, hair loss, and insomnia.
  • Nutrient Absorption: Overgrowth of gut bacteria associated with SIBO and IBS can interfere with optimal digestion leading to a decreased absorption of nutrients. Although all nutrients may be affected, the most significant deficiencies include, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin B12, Folate, essential fatty acids, magnesium, and SAM. Poor nutrient absorption not only contributes to unwanted symptoms such as low energy, but can also cause a more serious impact on immune function, premenstrual syndrome symptoms, and disease process.
  • Neurotransmitter Production: If you have SIBO you're likely experiencing anxiety or depression, or a combination of each. There is bi-directional communication between our brain and our gut via the vagus nerve, this is known as the gut-brain axis. That is because our gut has a role in neurotransmitter production. Examples of neurotransmitters produced in the gut are GABA, serotonin, and dopamine.

FAQs

Most frequent questions and answers

Do you take insurance?

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.

*Please Note: We do accept HSA cards.

How do I treat IBS and SIBO?

IBS is treatable and curable! We utilize in-depth comprehensive panels to assess gut health and develop individualized treatment plans to help resolve your symptoms and heal your digestive tract.

We recommend scheduling a free phone consultation to discuss further. Each individual has different needs and requires a tailored solution to treat IBS and/or SIBO.

Additional Resources:

Do you run labs through insurance?

Yes, we are able to run labs through your insurance. We also offer affordable cash-based labs.

Do we have a guarantee?

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.

Therefore, we can’t guarantee results since what works for someone may not necessarily work for you.

However, we can promise you that the care we provide you WILL NOT be the same care we provide someone else. We provide personalized medical attention using the latest research and trends that exists. We encourage you to watch some of our videos and/or read some of our blog articles to better understand how our doctors think.

What nutrient deficiencies do you look for?

The nutrient deficiencies evaluated on each patient’s initial blood panel highly depends on their concerns and history. A few nutrients commonly assessed are vitamin D, B12, folate, and Iron.

More extensive nutrient panels are available on request or will be recommended based on your individual case.
