About Dr. Melonni Dooley

Dr. Melonni Dooley is a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor (N.M.D.) in the State of Arizona and is board certified by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners. She has a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine as well as a Master of Science in Plant Biology from Arizona State University. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida in chemistry and botany.

Dr. Dooley discovered naturopathic medicine through her own battles with headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and gastric reflux. Conventional treatments had her on anti-depressants, muscle relaxants, proton-pump inhibitors and anti-seizure medications, which only made her feel worse. Expensive imaging and numerous conventional lab tests provided no clues to the cause of her problems. In her quest for answers, naturopathic medicine provided the solutions and she eventually got her life back.

Dr. Dooley will see all ages and all conditions but has a special interest in women's health, digestive disorders, like IBS, and neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's & MS. The therapeutics that Dr. Dooley frequently uses includes: diet & lifestyle counseling, nutritional supplements, botanical medicine, hydrotherapy, detoxification therapies, biofeedback, neurofeedback and mind-body medicine.

Dr. Dooley believes that the body has innate wisdom and has the capacity to heal itself, so her role as your partner in health is to tap in to that wisdom and discover what elements are needed to support the healing process. To do so, she follows a patient-centered approach because, as Hippocrates said, "It is more important to know what kind of person has a disease than to know what kind of disease a person has."

Dr. Dooley believes in fostering wellness, not just treating disease. So, her approach focuses on prevention, patient education and identifying and correcting the cause of illness.
