Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

Dr. Smoots' practice is currently CLOSED to new patients. Her "Healthier You" newsletter is OPEN to new subscribers (more info below).

I am a board-certified family physician with interests in integrative and functional medicine, digestive problems, allergies or food sensitivities, and maximizing wellness for women, men and teens. As a graduate fellow of Dr. Andrew Weil & Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, I have received comprehensive training in integrative medicine. I am also a Institute for Functional Medicine member and an IFM Certified Practitioner. Functional medicine is an approach that I utilize to find the root causes of illness and dysfunction. I am the author of "Allergy Guide: Conventional & Alternative Solutions."
