NMD Wellness of Scottsdale is a concierge naturopathic medical practice committed to delivering deeply personalized, evidence-based care for hormone, fertility, thyroid, metabolic, and lifecycle health. Our goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered through every stage — from preconception to pregnancy and beyond.

We specialize in supporting women with hormonal and endocrine health needs, including:

• Irregular cycles, painful periods

• Preconception, fertility, and pregnancy support

• Postpartum recovery

• Perimenopause and menopause care

• PCOS, endometriosis, insulin resistance

• Thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto’s and Graves

Our approach blends natural and conventional medicine, always tailored to your unique biology and goals.

We don’t just treat symptoms — we dive deep into root causes, connecting the dots that conventional care often overlooks. Our difference lies in:

• Data-driven personalization, not one-size-fits-all protocols

• Continuity and support between visits (not just “5–7 minute” check-ins)

• Integration with your existing medical team (OB, endocrinologist, fertility specialist, etc.)

• A concierge-based model that ensures accountability, access, and proactivity — so you’re not navigating this alone

Our model is designed to go beyond occasional appointments. As a concierge provider, we offer:

• Priority scheduling and direct communication

• Unrushed consultations that fully explore your story

• Personalized care plans that evolve with you

• Ongoing support, check-ins, and lab strategy — not a “set-it-and-forget-it” plan

No — we operate as a fee-for-service concierge practice and do not contract with insurance or Medicare.
We are happy to provide you with a superbill after your appointment, which you may submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Please note: coverage is not guaranteed and varies by plan.

A naturopathic doctor board-certified in naturopathic endocrinology has advanced training and certification in managing hormonal health conditions using naturopathic and integrative options. At NMD Wellness, we believe in integrative health solutions that complement your existing care from other healthcare providers, including your OBGYN, REI, endocrinologist, and PCP. We provide patients with science-backed natural and integrative solutions for their health needs, ensuring a comprehensive and collaborative approach to your well-being.

Yes, you may choose to use insurance for labs or imaging if that is more convenient or cost-effective.
However:

• Depending on the Concierge Membership plan selected for your care, you may be eligible for lab credit toward your initial comprehensive testing.

• For additional or discretionary labs (or if your membership doesn't include a lab credit), we offer competitive negotiated cash-pay pricing to keep costs transparent and reasonable.

• We primarily use serum (blood) testing, which is clinically reliable and diagnostic. We do not routinely use specialty urinary metabolite tests (e.g. DUTCH), as they are not diagnostic and often add unnecessary expense.

To avoid surprises, we encourage you to call your insurance provider to verify lab coverage and in-network status before proceeding. Also, by law, you’re entitled to a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) if you are paying out of pocket.

All new patients begin with a $500 Initial Assessment. During this appointment, Dr. Zen will review your full history, prior labs, symptoms, and goals, and begin building your roadmap for care.

From there, ongoing care is provided through our Concierge Membership, tailored to your goals, lab results, and level of support needed.

We do not accept insurance for medical visits. However, we can provide you with a superbill after your appointment, which you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Please note that coverage is not guaranteed but is offered by many providers.

A superbill is an itemized receipt provided after your appointment, detailing the services you received. You can submit this to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan's coverage.

Your investment depends on your unique goals and care plan, but to give you a benchmark: many patients invest well under $10,000 for a full year of care under our membership model.

To compare, one round of IVF often costs $25,000 and covers only 1–2 months of treatment. Many of our clients are pleasantly surprised to find that their entire year of personalized, proactive care costs far less — while delivering more clarity, consistency, and results.

Whether you’re seeking hormonal balance, fertility support, or metabolic optimization, our model ensures your dollars are invested in measurable progress, not guesswork.

In our experience, meaningful change does not come from sporadic visits. Our Concierge Membership is designed to provide continuity, monitoring, and adjustments — which is how you move past plateaus.

One-off (“as-needed”) visits tend to lead to fragmented care and slow progress. Our membership gives you a cohesive roadmap, direct access to your care team, and accountability. That said, your journey always begins with the Initial Assessment, after which we’ll determine the best plan of action to fit your unique needs. 

Your testing will be personalized based on what your assessment reveals, and may include hormone panels, nutrient and micronutrient testing, metabolic and inflammation markers, genetic evaluation, thyroid workup, and more.

All tests are chosen with intention — we rely on serum (blood) testing for its diagnostic value and clinical reliability. We avoid burdensome, non-diagnostic specialty tests that add cost but not clarity.

We also offer lab credits and negotiated pricing (as noted above) to ease financial burden.

We accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and cash. Payment is due at the time of service.

Absolutely. Part of our mission is to integrate care rather than compete with it. We collaborate closely with your existing doctors so your protocols, labs, medications, and fertility efforts all align — and you don’t feel torn between different care paths.

That’s common — many of our most successful patients come to us after past fertility attempts. Our role is to optimize what’s already there: improving egg/sperm quality, reducing inflammation, correcting hormonal imbalances, and strengthening metabolic health — so your next cycle is stronger, smarter, and more likely to succeed.

Our services are not limited to fertility. Whether you’re managing perimenopause, thyroid imbalances, metabolic concerns, or simply seeking improved energy and hormone balance, we meet you where you are and help you build resilience and confidence in your health.

Every patient’s journey is unique, but our outcomes speak for themselves. We see so many positive pregnancy tests—and even more importantly, we see healthier fertility outcomes, thriving pregnancies, and happy babies.

We believe our success comes from our commitment to monitoring you throughout your entire journey—not just until you conceive. Your care doesn’t end with a positive test; it evolves as your needs do.

Beyond fertility, patients commonly experience improvements in cycle regularity, ovulation, hormone balance, energy, inflammation, and metabolic health.
We measure success through real data—lab trends, hormone charts, and tangible progress—paired with how you feel day-to-day.

Our patients often share that, for the first time, they feel clear, confident, and supported in their health.

That’s a reasonable fear. Many prospective patients come to us after spending years in care that felt fragmented or unclear. What makes our approach different is strategy over guesswork — every protocol is rooted in lab data, clinical evidence, and your unique story.

Because we operate as a membership with continuity, we don’t rush treatment or leave you hanging. Many of our patients look back and call this the most meaningful investment they ever made — because it saved them inefficiencies, guesswork, and extra cycles of treatment.

We get it — life is busy. That’s exactly why we designed this model: your care is efficient, focused, and flexible. Appointments are streamlined, check-ins can be virtual or via messaging, and your plan is built to fit around your life — not demand more of it.
Most patients tell us they gain clarity and time once they stop spinning in uncertainty and start making steady progress.

Absolutely — fertility and hormonal health are shared journeys. Your partner is always welcome to attend appointments, join discussions, and be part of the planning process.

Best of all, they’re included as part of your journey — there’s no additional charge for partner participation during our fertility programs.

For couples who wish to take a deeper look at both sides of fertility, we also offer comprehensive male evaluations, including hormone and nutrient testing, lifestyle guidance, and tailored protocol support.

Because we believe fertility takes two — and both deserve the same level of support, strategy, and care.

One of the biggest gaps in conventional care is what happens in the days between visits. With us, you never feel left alone. You’ll have ongoing access to your care team via secure messaging, check-ins, and protocol adjustments.

Because we reserve dedicated time for you, we ask for at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule without penalty.

• Cancellations within 48 hours: 50% of appointment fee

• Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows: 100% of appointment fee

• No charge if you cancel or reschedule with more than 48 hours’ notice

If you arrive late, your appointment will still end at the scheduled time, and you’ll be charged in full.

Yes! We offer virtual care to Arizona and California residents.

We believe in synergy. Our approach combines nutrition, lifestyle, botanicals, supplements, and functional medicine with conventional options — including medications like bioidentical hormones, thyroid meds, and fertility support (e.g., clomid, letrozole) when needed.
We tailor everything so your health plan is both powerful and safe, coordinating with your existing medical providers.

Yes — where appropriate, we can manage and refill prescriptions related to thyroid, mood, and hormonal support. Our goal is holistic care that addresses your body, lab data, and symptom story in tandem.

Your OB focuses on medical monitoring; we focus on nutrition, lifestyle, metabolic health, and “what is often missing” from conventional prenatal care.
Our trimester visits allow us to refine your plan proactively — accounting for shifting nutrient needs, hormone changes, stress, and metabolic pressures — so you feel fully supported throughout your pregnancy.
