For Dr. Michael Kolotinsky, naturopathic medicine is more than a career—it is deeply personal.
His interest in natural and integrative healthcare began long before medical school. Having lived with Crohn’s disease since childhood, Dr. Kolotinsky experienced firsthand how nutrition, lifestyle changes, and naturopathic approaches can become important parts of a person’s overall healthcare journey.
Today, as a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in Arizona, Dr. Kolotinsky uses his education, clinical training, and personal experiences to help patients better understand their health and explore individualized approaches to wellness.
A Personal Journey With Crohn’s Disease
Dr. Kolotinsky was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at just seven years old.
As his family navigated the challenges associated with the condition, conventional treatments eventually reached a point where heavier medications appeared to be one of the primary remaining options.
His parents decided to explore additional approaches and were introduced to naturopathic medicine.
Through a personalized combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and nutraceutical supplementation, his family was able to incorporate new strategies into the management of his condition.
That experience had a lasting impact on him.
Rather than simply seeing healthcare from the perspective of a physician, Dr. Kolotinsky understands what it is like to be a patient dealing with a chronic condition, searching for answers, and trying to determine the best path forward.
Turning Personal Experience Into a Career Helping Others
Dr. Kolotinsky’s experience with Crohn’s disease ultimately inspired him to pursue a career in naturopathic medicine.
He wanted to provide patients with the same type of guidance that had made such a significant difference during his own healthcare journey.
His goal is to help make the process of understanding and managing health concerns less overwhelming by working alongside patients and helping them explore approaches that consider the whole person.
At Nevy Health in Mesa, Arizona, patients have access to an integrative healthcare environment where providers can look beyond individual symptoms and consider factors such as nutrition, lifestyle, overall wellness, and long-term health goals.
Dr. Michael Kolotinsky’s Education and Training
Dr. Kolotinsky has extensive education in both naturopathic medicine and acupuncture.
He earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology from SUNY Geneseo, completing a pre-medical track in preparation for advanced medical training.
In 2019, he graduated from the University of Bridgeport School of Naturopathic Medicine with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine.
That same year, he also graduated from the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute with a Master of Science in Acupuncture.
Dr. Kolotinsky is now a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in the state of Arizona.
His combination of medical education and acupuncture training allows him to bring multiple perspectives to patient care while helping individuals explore personalized options based on their unique needs.
A Patient-Focused Approach to Naturopathic Medicine
One of the defining elements of naturopathic medicine is its emphasis on understanding the broader picture of a patient’s health.
Rather than focusing exclusively on individual symptoms, naturopathic physicians may evaluate factors such as:
- Nutrition and dietary habits
- Lifestyle and daily routines
- Stress and sleep
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Exercise and physical activity
- Digestive health
- Overall wellness goals
- Appropriate nutritional or nutraceutical supplementation
Because every patient is different, recommendations should be based on the individual’s health history, symptoms, goals, and clinical evaluation.
Dr. Kolotinsky’s own experiences have given him a unique appreciation for how frustrating it can be when someone has been dealing with a health concern for years.
His objective is to listen carefully, help patients understand their options, and work with them toward a personalized healthcare strategy.
