Dr.
Wazny is a trained practitioner of natural medicine and possesses
years of practice in the field of traditional medicine, a combination
that provides patients a multitude of rich and diverse experiences.
A
native of Colorado, Dr. Wazny graduated magna cum laude in 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. Like traditional medical schools,
the first two years of the program focused on the basic sciences
such as microbiology, pharmacology, and anatomy. The next two
years required students to rotate through various conventional
fields (family practice, pediatrics, dermatology, etc.,) as well
as learn alternative approaches to health and curing disease.
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, golf, and hockey. He and
his wife reside in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Wazny looks forward
to helping his patients on their "Natural Path" toward
wellness.
