Dr. Matt Mitchell
I am an Arizona  licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor (State of Arizona Naturopathic Board of Medical Examiners).

I earned a Bachelors of Science in Biology from Arizona State University.  After attending graduate school, I taught high school science in Gilbert, Arizona.  Years later, I decided to fulfill my dream of becoming a physician, like my father.  I completed my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona.

I am committed to the philosophies of naturopathic medicine in my personal and professional life. As a physician in the art of natural healing and the father of six children, I have discovered the true wonders of natural medicine. If it is integrated into your everyday life, it can help you attain a remarkable state of health. I am constantly amazed at the incredible healing powers of nature. As a result of this philosophy, I focus my treatment on fostering the natural healing properties of the body and listening to the individual needs of the patient. I love this medicine, because there is something amazing in it for everyone. I see people everyday who feel they have been given a new opportunity at health.

I specialize in simple anti-aging therapies through clinical nutrition, natural and bioidentical hormones, medical weight loss programs including hCG weight loss, and lifestyle education.  and lifestyle education. I also specialize in natural pain management, through the use of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy or Biopuncture.

I am the Practice Development Coordinator at SanTan Natural Medicine. On any given day, you may find me helping a patient, answering the phone, ordering supplies, or just making sure everyone feels welcome. There is no secret to the warm and inviting environment that I make sure to create everyday in the office.

My background is in retail and business operations and I have a BS in Accounting from ASU. I pay important attention to the details and the quality of patient service. “Our Practice is all about the patients, and we work hard to make them feel important at every visit.”

I chose to support Dr. Matt, my husband, on this journey of opening SanTan Natural Medicine, because I knew he needed to concentrate on helping the patients. My gift was in the marketing and development of the business. Together, we are a great team.

I look forward to coming to the office everyday because I know that what we are doing is making a difference in people’s lives. My intention everyday is to help as many people as I can feel the benefits of this amazing medicine.
