What a Naturopathic Doctor Does in Tempe, AZ
A naturopathic doctor asks why your symptoms started, not only how to quiet them. Arizona licenses naturopathic physicians under the NMD title to examine patients, order lab work and build a treatment plan.
Dr. Yosef is an integrative physician who works with chronically ill patients whose illness has been hard to name, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and Lyme disease. He looks for the imbalances and toxic overload underneath.
Testing That Looks Past a Normal Lab Result
Routine bloodwork can come back normal while you still feel unwell. We add specialized testing and read each result alongside your history.
- EAV testing: Electrodermal Acupuncture According to Voll, a screening taken at acupuncture points.
- Thermography: a heat image of the body that can point toward areas of inflammation.
- Heart rate variability: how your nervous system balances stress and recovery.
- Blood and urine tests: panels chosen for your symptoms, including nutrient levels.
- Allergy testing: results that shape your nutrition and diet advice.

Naturopathic Doctor FAQ for Tempe, AZ
Are naturopathic doctors licensed in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona licenses naturopathic physicians, who use the title NMD. A licensed NMD can examine and diagnose patients, order lab work and treat within the scope state law allows. Dr. Isaac Yosef practices as an NMD and integrative physician.
Do naturopathic doctors order blood tests?
Yes. We use customized blood and urine tests chosen for your symptoms, along with EAV testing, thermography and heart rate variability. Every result is read together with your history rather than one number at a time.
What is the difference between a naturopathic and a holistic doctor?
Holistic describes an approach: looking at the whole person rather than one symptom. Naturopathic physician is a licensed role in Arizona, trained in medical diagnosis as well as natural therapies. Our care is holistic in approach and led by a licensed NMD.
Is your office in Tempe, AZ?
No. Our one office is in north Scottsdale, a drive up the Loop 101 from Tempe. Every visit, test and therapy happens there.
How do I choose a naturopathic doctor in Tempe, AZ?
Check that the doctor holds an Arizona NMD license, ask how they test beyond routine labs, and ask whether your plan follows your own results or a set protocol. For gut or environmental illness, ask who on the team focuses on it. With us, that is Lina Kay, PA-C, MS.
Do I have to stop seeing my other doctors?
No. Many patients keep their primary care doctor and specialists. We review the results you already have so your plan builds on what has been done rather than starting over.
How much does naturopathic care cost?
Cost depends on the testing and therapies your plan includes, so it differs from one patient to the next. We walk you through the options for your plan at your consultation.
