She enjoys medicine and all the ways she has been able to help her patients over the years. She truly believes in the power of the human body to heal and rejuvenate; more so with Integrative medicine at it’s best.

Dr. Mendoza comes from a varied medical background. In 1973 she began her medical career as the youngest licensed Emergency Medical Technicia (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 air craft 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.

Medical CareerShe expanded her career by attending Surface Force Independent Duty Corpsman (SFIDC), a highly competitve and stressful field, operating as the sole medical and dental provider for military and civilian personnel around the world on isolated islands and war ships 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 her retirement from active duty she initially pursued a career in Veterinary medicine and ultimately received her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science. Her career had been filled with emergency medicine and it no loner posed the challenge she was seeking and she eventually found Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, which opened new challenges. She graduated from SCNM in July 2009. She now owns and operates a very successful clinic in Mesa with another SCNM graduate, where all aspects of medicine, both mainstream and Naturopathic are incorporated into patient care.
