A native of Colorado, Dr. Wazny graduated magna cum laude in Molecuar, Cellular, Developmental Biology and Biochemistry from the University of Colorado. While in Colorado, he worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and served as president of the University's Premedical Honor Society, Alpha Epsilon Delta.

Searching for adventure and new experiences in health care upon graduation, Dr. Wazny spent two years with the United States Peace Corps in Honduras where he worked with midwives, physicians and nurses at the local health center. It was here that he first witnessed the power of botanical medicine. Working with patients at the health center, traditional medicines were often in short supply. As a result, Wazny walked with patients and handpicked dozens of local rainforest botanicals to treat their ailments.

These experiences prompted Dr. Wazny to pursue a career in Naturopathy, the field of medicine that respects the healing power of nature and places emphasis on prevention of disease and optimizing lifestyle to maintain wellness. Dr. Wazny graduated from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences, in Tempe, Arizona, a leading institution in the field.

As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD), Dr. Wazny is trained in the various disciplines of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): acupuncture, homeopathy, botanical medicine, nutrition, environmental medicine, detoxification, and mind-body medicine. He is also trained in more traditional subjects such as pharmacology and minor surgery.

In his free time, Dr. Wazny enjoys hiking, road cycling and playing hockey. He, his wife Jane, and daughters Anna and Julia, reside in Scottsdale, Arizona.
