Smith, NMD, or Dr. Jenn as patients fondly call her, is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor certified in both Environmental and Swiss Biological Medicine and the Founder of SilverTree Wellness Center. She’s also one of a select few physicians in the world certified in the Shoemaker Protocol for Mold and Biotoxin Illness. Dr. Jenn is dedicated to practicing as a partner in care with patients and families seeking preventative natural medicine for optimum lifelong health as well as those struggling to find relief from complex, chronic conditions.

Dr. Derek

Dr. Derek received his Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine through the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the California Institute of Integral Studies (ACTCM @ CIIS) in San Francisco, CA. He is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Arizona and nationally certified through the National Certificate Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

Dr. Kelly

Dr. Kelly Winnett is an Arizona native. She was lucky enough to discover the power of Naturopathic medicine at a young age thanks to her mother’s continued search for an answer. She knew from then on that she’d pursue her NMD and went from graduating with two associate degrees the week before she graduated high school, through NAU for her BS in Biomedical Science with a minor in Chemistry, straight through to Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine where she graduated in 2017. While she was originally drawn to hormones, years of clinical experience have reinforced her belief that healing requires treating the whole person.

Dr. Susan

Office Manager, Dr. Susan Simpson, has been a Phoenix-based relationship coach, hypnotherapist and EMDR practitioner for over two decades. She is excited to be a member of the Silver Tree Wellness team as they grow and add new branches to their holistic healing tree.
