Partners In Health Care, Naturally, is proud to introduce Dianna Mendoza, ND to our family of practitioners.
Dr. Mendoza comes from a varied medical background. In 1973, she began her medical career as the youngest licensed Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in the state of Wyoming. After graduating high school she joined the U.S. Navy, where she became the first female In-flight Search and Rescue (wet-crewman) corpsman. The position entailed rescuing injured survivors of aircraft accidents, performing advanced trauma and cardiac life support care for patients involved in all manner of serious accidents at sea, on mountainous terrain, and in very isolated locales around the world. She expanded her career by attending Surface Force Independent Duty Corpsman (SFIDC), a highly competitive and stressful field, operating as the sole medical and dental provider for military and civilian personnel around the world on isolated islands and warships at sea. The duty stations were considered arduous and hazardous in all aspects, requiring the emergent treatment of military and civilian personnel, while oftentimes under small arms fire with no other medical support personnel available. After she retired from active duty, she initially pursued a career in veterinary medicine and ultimately received her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science, but since her career to date had been filled with emergency medicine, this path didn't pose the challenge she was seeking.
She eventually found Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, which opened new challenges, and graduated from SCNM in July 2009. She owned and operated a very successful clinic in Mesa with another SCNM graduate, where all aspects of medicine, both mainstream and naturopathic, were incorporated into patient care. She married the love of her life and is now starting a new chapter, living in the Prescott area and working at Partners In Health Care, Naturally. In additional to naturopathic primary care, she specializes in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's, autism, and Alzheimer's; autoimmune disorders, asthma and women's health.
