LETICIA QAMAR-BUSLER
Dr. Q is a graduate of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine where she focused her studies on comprehensive family practice and pediatrics. Her naturopathic journey began years ago after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University. She has experience working in pediatric home health care and in a residential treatment facility for children. While Dr. Q wanted to become a child psychologist and help children heal naturally from disorders such as ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc., she became disillusioned with the standard healthcare model and took time off before graduate school to become a massage therapist. Dr. Q discovered healing people with hands-on therapy and empowering those people with knowledge to keep themselves healthy was exactly what she wanted to do. However, she felt limited in her knowledge and healing modalities. After extensive research, Dr. Q discovered naturopathic medicine and moved from Louisiana to Arizona so that she could attend naturopathic medical school. Dr. Q’s treatments emphasize the body’s natural ability to heal itself and include acupuncture, nutritional medicine, hydrotherapy, botanical medicine, homeopathy, and other modalities. She has a special interest in pediatric medicine including acute care. Dr. Q has also worked as an adjunct professor of anatomy and physiology at Phoenix College. She believes passionately in health education and preventative medicine and feels the most gentle, effective intervention is the best medicine.
