Learn about the Sunridge approach →Each year, Sunridge Medical Wellness Center helps thousands of patients from all around the world by providing a customized approach to treating the underlying cause of their disease and not just the symptoms. Our team of researchers is constantly evaluating the latest medical breakthroughs in search of safe, scientific, and effective therapies that we can bring our patients.

Integrative, physician-directed care for people at every stage—from a new diagnosis to recurrence, metastatic disease, treatment support, and recovery.
A broader review for patients facing persistent, multi-system symptoms or conditions that have not responded as expected.
Personalized strategies for rebuilding after treatment, improving resilience, addressing hormonal or metabolic concerns, and supporting healthy aging.

Licensed medical professionals direct care and consider the whole case, not just an isolated symptom.
Our team continually evaluates medical literature, treatment advances, mechanisms, safety, and clinical relevance.
Response, tolerance, laboratory findings, and changing priorities help guide reassessment over time.
Patients are supported with clear communication, practical guidance, and a team that knows their story.
Sunridge is a hands-on outpatient cancer treatment center, not simply a consultation office. Physician-directed therapies are administered onsite by a full nursing team in dedicated infusion and treatment rooms.
Treatment schedules are individualized. Local patients may come several times a week, while some out-of-town patients receive care on a concentrated daily schedule during a limited stay in Scottsdale. Some cancer patients remain for approximately six to eight weeks.
Cancer is not one disease, and no two patients arrive with the same history. Sunridge reviews cancer type, stage, pathology, previous treatment, molecular information when available, organ function, medications, symptoms, and individual goals before outlining options.
Many patients continue care with an outside oncology team while receiving physician-directed integrative support at Sunridge. Others come for a second opinion or when they want a careful review of additional options.

THE SUNRIDGE APPROACH
For more than 23 years, Sunridge Medical has cared for people seeking a more complete understanding of cancer, chronic illness and the obstacles that can complicate recovery. Our practice has served more than 24,000 patients across its areas of care. That experience informs the questions we ask, the records we review and the attention we give to each person’s history. These are practice-wide experience figures; your recommendations and progress remain individual.
People come to Sunridge with a diagnosis, a collection of symptoms, or a treatment history that has left important questions unanswered. Our role is to bring those pieces together. We combine naturopathic investigation, conventional diagnostic information and physician-directed treatment planning, with care delivered by our Scottsdale clinical team. Meet Dr. Gioacchino Franco, NMD and learn about Sunridge.
Naturopathic medicine asks what initiated an illness, what may be sustaining symptoms, and what is limiting the person’s ability to recover. A diagnosis and its treatment remain central. The broader investigation considers the person living with that diagnosis: nutrition, digestion, sleep, activity, medications, infections, environmental exposures and relevant hormonal or metabolic conditions. This approach reflects the profession’s principles of treating causes, teaching patients and caring for the whole person.
The timing of symptoms can be as useful as their names. We consider what changed before they began, what makes them better or worse, what previous treatments accomplished, and which findings still need explanation. That history helps determine whether a test will change a clinical decision. An abnormal result needs interpretation in the context of your symptoms, examination and existing records.
A person who is struggling to eat, sleep or tolerate treatment may need those difficulties addressed early. For example, cancer-related fatigue can have contributions from treatment, pain, anemia, sleep problems and inadequate intake. Identifying the relevant contributors makes supportive care more specific. Nutrition and symptom care also require adjustment when swallowing problems, nausea or changes in digestion interfere with eating. NCI: fatigue; NCI: nutrition during treatment.
Every recommendation should have a reason: treating an identified problem, supporting a physiological function, improving a symptom or helping you manage daily life. We consider evidence, interactions, organ function and your preferences when discussing options. Follow-up asks what changed in a meaningful way and whether to continue, adapt or stop an intervention. Improvements in energy or comfort are valuable, while cancer response requires its own oncology assessment.
Bring your diagnoses, recent laboratory results, relevant imaging or pathology, a medication and supplement list, and the questions that matter most to you. Tell us what you want to be able to do again and what has made care difficult. With your authorization, relevant information can be coordinated with your existing physicians.
