A naturopathic doctor listening to a patient during a long intake in the Salon at Alta Medical

Naturopathic office space in Scottsdale, booked by the hour.

Ninety minute intakes need a room that does not feel rented.

A naturopathic intake takes as long as it takes. Naturopathic office space in Scottsdale that bills you for a whole floor punishes a practice built on fewer, longer visits. Alta bills for the hours you use in North Scottsdale, and each one is a finished suite with lab-draw access, a locker of your own, and a staffed reception.

The math

What a long-visit practice costs

Six ninety minute visits fill three short days, and three short days is all the room you pay for.

18 hrs

18 hours a week is about 2.3 days a week, or 72 hours a month at $49 an hour, plus $349 membership and a medium locker at $69.

Before you open

Practicing naturopathic medicine in Arizona

  • What does your license allow inside a shared office setting? The Arizona Naturopathic Physicians Medical Board is the one to ask.

  • If you dispense, what sourcing, labeling and storage rules apply to you? Take it to your board and to the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy.

  • Does the Arizona Naturopathic Physicians Medical Board accept a shared-residency suite as the practice address on your license?

Inquiries

Questions naturopathic doctors ask

Can I run a dispensary from my locker?

You can store your own stock in a locker rented in your name, refrigerated if needed. How you dispense stays your decision and your responsibility under your board.

Is there space for IV work?

Yes. The suites take an infusion comfortably, and refrigerated storage is available in your name.

Can I book ninety minute blocks?

Yes. Suite time is booked by the hour online, so a ninety minute intake is two hours held, or you book back to back and use what you need.

Do I need to be full-time to join?

No. Base Membership plus booked hours is how most practices start. A dedicated suite is there when the schedule earns it.

Whose patient is it?

Yours, start to finish. Alta supplies a room and a front desk, and has no claim on the relationship or the record.

Can I hold the same hours every week?

Yes. A standing weekly block is the normal pattern once a caseload settles, and a dedicated suite is there when it outgrows that.
