About
Dr. Heidi U Rula is a family medicine doctor in Chandler, Arizona, board certified in Family Medicine and trained at UAMS College of Medicine. She practices at Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers and affiliated locations, and speaks English and Spanish.
Dr. Rula treats a range of conditions including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Type 2 Diabetes, dementia and terminal cancer. Her procedures include routine adult exams, advance care planning, palliative care and integrative oncology support. She joined Ironwood in 2018 to launch the Integrative Oncology program and previously served as medical director of the University of Arizona Integrative Health Center, where she developed a model of integrative primary care. Her focus on integrative oncology grew from her experience caring for a family member with terminal cancer, which motivated her to train in Integrative Medicine to support patients during cancer treatment and help them maintain healthy lives.
