Dr. Veronique Pangia, NMD, AAT, has been a board certified Naturopathic physician for over 25 years. Licensed as a primary care physician, she practices with a focus on women’s perimenopausal and menopausal health, holistic mental health, and mind-body medicine. She is passionate about assisting patients in reclaiming their lives and achieving optimal health - in body, mind, and spirit - with a compassionate application of cutting-edge medicine.
The root causes of complex health concerns are addressed with safe and effective individualized solutions. She takes a collaborative approach, empowering her patients with knowledge and tools to support their body’s innate healing capacity. “Naturopathic medicine allows me to embrace the art of medicine, providing creative strategies and personalized care, versus the conventional medical approach of standard drugs and procedures for symptom management.”
From a young age, Dr. Pangia knew she would practice medicine, though initially she pursued veterinary medicine! Her father was an ophthalmologist and much of the family's social time was spent in the company of other physicians. They had many conversations about practicing together, but she felt something was missing from the conventional medical model. Dr. Pangia credits a meditation class at The Open Center in NYC for her discovery of Naturopathic medicine, which at that time was virtually unknown outside of the Pacific Northwest. She immediately knew this was her calling. After earning her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the renowned Bastyr University in 2000, she moved to Arizona and founded Menopause Solutions, a pioneering BHRT-focused medical clinic serving women, plus anyone of any age seeking her unique heart-centered, holistic approach to root-cause medicine. With a passion for science and lifelong learning, she consistently exceeds the annual requirements for continuing medical education, continually broadening her medical knowledge and skillset to best serve her patients.
Dr. Pangia is regarded as a menopause and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy expert. A rarity in medical school, she enjoyed a full year of clinical training specifically on bio-identical hormone therapy on top of focused classroom instruction. Additionally, she received direct instruction from the inventor of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, Jonathan Wright, MD in her post-doctoral studies.
Dr. Pangia has trained physicians and medical students on the clinical application of BHRT (Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy), subclinical hypothyroidism, and thyroid and adrenal (HPA Axis) health management. Dr. Pangia has served on the Board of Directors of the Arizona Naturopathic Medical Association (AZNMA) and she is an active member of the Arizona Naturopathic Medical Association, the Psychiatric Association of Naturopathic Physicians, the Vagus Nerve Society, the I.V. Micronutrient Group, POCA, and HRC. She has advanced training in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Peptide Therapy, Naturopathic and Biologic Psychiatry, Trauma-Focused Care, Orthomolecular Medicine, IV Nutrient Therapy, Auriculotherapy, GAH, Substance Use Disorders, Intimate Partner Violence, PTSD, and Traumatic Brain Injury.
Dr. Pangia offers both in-person and virtual appointments throughout Arizona.
