Mary Grace Warner MD, MD(H), CCH

Homeopath, Staff, Faculty

Mary Grace Warner received her medical degree from the University of Michigan where she completed post-graduate training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology, followed by a research fellowship at the Cox Heart Institute, Dayton, Ohio. Then Medical Director of the School of Cardiovascular Ultrasound for sixteen years at the Arizona Heart Institute, Dr. Warner was a leader in vascular and cardiac ultrasound and one of the first physicians in Arizona to perform transesophageal echocardiography. For the following 10 years in her practice, Integrative Cardiology PLLC, in Scottsdale Arizona, Dr. Warner combined the best of conventional cardiology with holistic heart care. But the continued erosion of the art of medicine by insurance and pharmaceutical companies, as well as government guidelines for medical practice, led Dr. Warner to search for other paradigms of healing. In 2001, Dr. Warner began a healing and educational journey at the American Medical College of Homeopathy. In 2008 she received State of Arizona certification (MD(H) and in 2010, national certification (CCH). “I have always viewed the patient as a whole person experiencing an illness, rather than focusing only on the illness. In Homeopathy the whole person and his entire life are the basis of treatment.” Dr. Warner practices classical homeopathy and consults in cardiovascular diseases as needed.
