What is naturopathic medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a practice of medicine that combines the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. It emphasizes six main principles: prevention, identifying and treating the root cause of illness, harnessing the healing power of nature, treating the whole person rather than a collection of symptoms, providing education about health, and doing no harm.

What are common conditions or concerns you see?

I see people with many different concerns including, but not limited to: mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD; pelvic pain and recurrent UTIs; immune dysfunction including Long-COVID; vector-bourne illnesses such as Lyme Disease; GI distress; seasonal and food allergies; generalized fatigue and burnout; LGBTQ+ Health (HRT available for AZ patients only); previous alcohol use and sober curious; and overall wellness and prevention.

What can I expect from you?

You can expect: 1. A thoughtful and whole-person approach, 2. Open, honest, and clear communication, 3. Realistic and grounded recommendations in pursuit of YOUR goals, 4. Easy to access care in the times that you need it, and 5. A 'dad' joke or two.

How much do visits cost?

New patient visits are $340 and follow-up visits are $245. Sliding scale visits may be available upon request. Please email for additional information.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, absolutely! I know that choosing a new healthcare provider can be nerve-wracking. You can book a free 15 minute consultation on the scheduling page or by emailing me at drgettman@summersunintegrative.com.

Do you take insurance?

My practice is cash-based and I do not take insurance. Some insurances allow for out-of-network visits with naturopathic doctors and a superbill can be provided to you. You should check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage.

If you live in Arizona, I can see you for a specific health concern or as a Primary Care Physician. If you live in Vermont or Washington, DC, I can see you for a specific health concern however, you must maintain a relationship with a Primary Care Physician. If you live in certain other states, I can provide health coaching ONLY and you must maintain a relationship with a Primary Care Provider in your state.

I have another question. How can I contact you?

Naturopathic Root-Cause Care for Burnout, Chronic Illness, and Hormonal Health

Helping you reclaim your energy, heal your gut, and live in harmony with your body's natural rhythms.

Virtual appointments available throughout Arizona, Vermont & DC | Home visits available in the Phoenix metro area

What you’re feeling is real.

Constant fatigue and brain fog that coffee can't fix, and the weight of appearing “high functioning” while your body screams for rest
The overwhelming impact of Lyme disease, Long-COVID, or other chronic conditions that doctors can’t quite figure out
Mental health challenges like OCD, anxiety, or burnout that are stealing your joy and affecting your quality of life and relationships
Hormone imbalances that leave you wide awake at 3 AM, crying over commercials, or feeling like a stranger in your own body
And most importantly, a suspicion that something’s just off, though nobody has validated that yet

You deserve more than just a quick fix or band aid solution.

You deserve a lasting solution that allows you to sleep through the night and wake up rested, truly heal your nagging symptoms instead of settling for handfuls of medication, and show up for your friends, family, and co-workers with seemingly endless energy and a zest for life.

What to Expect in Your First Visit:

90 minutes. 1-on-1. Focused entirely on you

Deep Dive Into Your Story:

I want to hear your whole story. The symptoms that you can’t seem to shake, the aches and pains that prevent you from doing the hobbies that you love, and the goals you have for your health and life.
I’ll also ask in-depth questions about everything from family medical history to stress and sleep.

Personalized Lab & Imaging Recommendations:

Following your initial visit, I’ll provide you with targeted lab and imaging recommendations to help us identify the root cause of your symptoms.

Holistic Treatment:

Following your visit, I will study your case for 3-5 hours after our visit to provide you with a comprehensive plan that addresses your concerns and goals.
Your plan will be individualized to you and may include diet and lifestyle modifications, supplements, homeopathy, botanical medicine, gemstone therapy, or prescription medication as necessary.

Ongoing Support:

We're in this together! You'll have access to my guidance and expertise as you implement your plan. I know the body doesn’t often work in a typical 9-5 schedule. You are free to send a portal message or call anytime, and I aim to respond as soon as possible.
