Arizona-licensed naturopathic physician and concierge medicine provider

Healthcare should be personal, accessible, and centered around your individual needs—not limited by rushed appointments or fragmented communication. Ask Dr. Hu provides personalized concierge medicine and naturopathic medical care for patients throughout Goodyear, Arizona, with convenient telemedicine appointments, direct physician communication, preventive healthcare, and individualized treatment planning.
Whether you live near Palm Valley, PebbleCreek, Canyon Trails, Estrella, Sedella, Centerra, or another Goodyear neighborhood, our goal is to make attentive, physician-led care easier to access.
Goodyear has grown into one of the West Valley’s most dynamic communities, with expanding neighborhoods, recreational opportunities, and a developing Medical Innovation Corridor that includes major healthcare organizations. Our concierge model complements the community’s growth by giving patients another option for convenient, relationship-based medical care.
Many traditional medical practices are structured around short appointments, high patient volumes, and limited communication between visits. Patients may see different providers from one appointment to the next, wait weeks for follow-up care, or feel that there is not enough time to discuss their concerns thoroughly.
Concierge medicine offers a different experience.
At Ask Dr. Hu, we intentionally focus on providing more time, greater accessibility, and a stronger ongoing relationship between patients and their physician. Instead of treating each appointment as an isolated event, we look at your medical history, current symptoms, laboratory results, lifestyle, medications, risk factors, and long-term health goals together.
Patients seeking ongoing care can explore our concierge medicine membership, while those who need occasional evaluations or specialty care may choose from our individual medical services.
Personalized Medical Care for Goodyear Residents
Concierge medicine is a healthcare model designed to provide patients with greater access to their physician and a more personalized approach to care. Patients typically pay a recurring membership fee in exchange for enhanced physician availability, longer appointments, convenient communication, and ongoing health guidance.
At Ask Dr. Hu, concierge membership is intended for patients who want a physician who has time to understand their health history, answer questions, coordinate care, review testing, and remain accessible as their needs change.
Depending on your membership and medical needs, concierge care may include:
Virtual medical appointments
Direct physician communication
Preventive health planning
Chronic condition management
Laboratory ordering and interpretation
Medication monitoring
Nutrition and lifestyle guidance
Specialist referral coordination
Support between scheduled visits

A More Personal Approach to Your Health
Good medical care begins with understanding the person—not just treating an isolated symptom or abnormal laboratory result.
During your appointments, we take the time to discuss your concerns, medical and family history, current medications, nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and personal goals. When appropriate, we may review previous records or laboratory results and discuss whether additional evaluation is needed.
Your care plan may include conventional medical treatment, naturopathic therapies, preventive screening, nutrition recommendations, exercise guidance, supplements, medications, or referrals to other healthcare professionals. Recommendations are personalized according to your medical needs rather than relying on a predetermined protocol.
This whole-person approach allows us to address immediate concerns while also considering factors that may affect your long-term health.
Concierge and Naturopathic Medical Services
Goodyear patients may access a range of general and specialty medical services depending on their needs and whether virtual or in-person care is appropriate.
Preventive Healthcare and Health Optimization
Preventive medicine focuses on identifying health risks early and taking proactive steps to support long-term wellness.
Our diagnostic and preventive health optimization service may include a comprehensive review of your personal and family history, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, stress, medications, laboratory results, and health goals.
Recommendations may address cardiovascular risk, blood sugar, metabolic health, hormone balance, nutrient status, healthy aging, weight management, and other areas relevant to your individual health.
Laboratory Testing and Results Review
Laboratory results can provide valuable information, but numbers should always be interpreted within the context of your symptoms, history, medications, and overall health.
We can help determine which laboratory tests may be appropriate, review existing results, explain what they may mean, and develop a plan for follow-up when necessary. Laboratory testing may be used for routine wellness screening, metabolic evaluation, hormone assessment, medication monitoring, or investigation of specific symptoms.
Telemedicine Appointments
Many Goodyear residents can receive care through secure telemedicine appointments without traveling across the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Virtual visits may be appropriate for certain acute concerns, medication follow-ups, chronic condition management, laboratory reviews, preventive consultations, lifestyle counseling, and specialty-service follow-up. Telemedicine also makes it easier to remain connected to your physician when questions arise between appointments.
Some symptoms and treatments still require an in-person examination, diagnostic testing, procedure, or urgent evaluation. We will let you know when virtual care is not sufficient for your particular concern.
Medical Weight Management
For eligible patients, our physician-supervised medical weight-loss program combines medical evaluation, laboratory review, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, ongoing monitoring, and weight-management medication when clinically appropriate.
Treatment is personalized according to your medical history, metabolic health, medications, laboratory results, treatment response, and long-term goals. The program is designed to provide more than a prescription by addressing overall health and sustainable weight-management habits.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Symptoms such as fatigue, decreased libido, changes in body composition, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, or reduced motivation can have many possible causes.
Our hormone replacement therapy service begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether a hormone imbalance may be contributing to your symptoms and whether treatment is medically appropriate.
When hormone therapy is recommended, it is supported by ongoing physician supervision, laboratory monitoring, symptom assessment, and individualized dose adjustments.
Integrative Pain Management
Patients experiencing joint pain, tendon injuries, arthritis, muscle pain, sports injuries, or other musculoskeletal concerns may benefit from an individualized evaluation.
Our integrative pain management service may incorporate conventional treatment, medical acupuncture, rehabilitation guidance, trigger-point therapy, regenerative procedures, lifestyle modification, or other evidence-informed approaches when appropriate.
Pain-management procedures require an in-person assessment and may not be available through telemedicine alone. Recommendations depend on the underlying condition, physical examination, previous treatments, imaging, and personal health goals.
Do You Need a Concierge Membership?
You do not need a membership to request every service.
Concierge membership is best suited for patients seeking ongoing primary care, direct physician access, regular follow-up, and a long-term healthcare relationship. It can be especially helpful for individuals managing multiple health concerns, taking several medications, completing ongoing laboratory monitoring, or wanting a more proactive approach to their health.
Individual appointments may be a better option when you need a particular service, such as a laboratory review, telemedicine consultation, hormone evaluation, weight-management appointment, pain consultation, medical marijuana certification, or assistance with medical documentation.
Review our membership options and individual services to compare the available levels of care.
Who May Benefit From Concierge Medicine?
Concierge medicine may be a good fit when you:
Want more time to discuss your health concerns
Prefer direct access to a consistent physician
Have several medical conditions or medications to coordinate
Want help understanding laboratory results
Are interested in preventive healthcare and healthy aging
Need more frequent follow-up than a traditional practice provides
Prefer the convenience of telemedicine
Want conventional and naturopathic options considered together
Feel that your concerns have not been fully addressed elsewhere
Concierge medicine does not replace emergency care, hospitalization, or every type of specialist. Instead, your concierge physician can serve as a consistent medical partner who helps organize your care, answer questions, monitor your progress, and coordinate referrals when appropriate.
Convenient Telemedicine Throughout Goodyear
Goodyear stretches across a large portion of the West Valley, and traveling for routine medical follow-up can take valuable time. Telemedicine allows many appointments to be completed from your home, workplace, or another private location within Arizona.
Patients may use virtual appointments for appropriate medical concerns, reviewing laboratory results, discussing medications, developing preventive health plans, and completing follow-up care.
Ask Dr. Hu serves patients throughout Goodyear, including residents of:
Palm Valley
Estrella
PebbleCreek
Canyon Trails
Sedella
Centerra
Las Brisas
Wildflower Ranch
Goodyear Planned Regional Center
Surrounding West Valley communities
Your physical location within Goodyear generally does not affect access to virtual care, although you must be located in Arizona at the time of your telemedicine appointment.

Your submitted information will be reviewed to determine whether the requested service appears appropriate and whether additional records, laboratory results, or paperwork may be needed.
