Meet Leticia / Ashley Qamar-Busler / Chung | Naturopathic Physician, Co-Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Leticia / Ashley Qamar-Busler / Chung and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leticia / Ashley, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
Licensed naturopathic physicians in Arizona are educated and trained as primary care physicians; diagnosing and treating holistically. We have thorough understanding of conventional and natural modalities including how and when to apply them appropriately based on the individual patient.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We had spent years planning Vitalship before our doors opened in Gilbert. The core of who we are as people translates into our business. We created Vitalship with the knowledge that our type of care is unique and needed. Having been through the conventional medical system individually with our own health challenges, we knew we needed more. Our practice allows time for our doctors to spend with their patients to get to know them and their health. Our patients feel heard and their autonomy respected as we work with them towards their health goals. With these intentions in our heart, success has been achieved. Our journey has not been easy, beginning with first-time entrepreneurship without a business background. The goal was to create a practice that provided the leadership, mentorship, support, and security that we wanted and that we felt most people would value.
We have come to understand that optimizing our business requires constant learning and growth, just like in medicine.
Working together as partners and friends, we are able to nourish the business like an extension of our family. This is why our team and patients feel welcome and cared for from the moment they walk in our doors. They know they only have to come to one place to be set on their healing journey. Vitalship is a one-stop-shop for wellness!

There is nothing we could do without them!
