About the Practice

Breakthrough Functional Medicine is a new functional medicine practice in North Scottsdale opening in September 2026. Our provider is a multispecialty-trained nurse practitioner with 15 years of experience and a national reputation for diagnosing and treating complex, rare, and difficult-to-resolve conditions. We offer advanced integrative therapies including EBOO, IV therapy, low dose immunotherapy (LDI), and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Our patients are health-conscious, highly motivated individuals—many travel from out of state specifically to receive care here.

This is a membership-based, cash-pay practice. We do not accept insurance. Our focus is on delivering an exceptional, unhurried patient experience built on trust, warmth, and clinical excellence.
