Dr. Nicole Sundene, NMD enjoys practicing Natural Family Medicine in the beautiful town of Fountain Hills, Arizona neighboring Scottsdale. Her area of expertise involves the combination of herbs, nutrition and bio-identical hormones for balancing hormones in both Women and Men's Health conditions.
As a classic Bastyr trained Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Sundene will perform a comprehensive new patient history, review of systems, physical exam and laboratory evaluation in order to develop a customized protocol for each family member. Dr. Sundene enjoys taking time to get to know each patient individually and is passionate about teaching patients prevention through healthy diet and lifestyle. She attained her medical degree from the #1 ranked medical school in the world for Naturopathic Medicine, Bastyr University. Dr. Jane Guiltinan, Bastyr Dean of Students, rated her as "One of the Top Ten Students of the 2007 Graduating Class." She completed her two year internship in Naturopathic Gynecology and Urology and enjoys helping both men and women with related complaints due to the efficacy of natural treatments for these conditions.

She takes a practical and conservative approach to medicine and works diligently to keep her patients on the least amount of prescription medications possible.
