We’re proud to see our client, Real Results Medical, featured in AZ Central’s recent article on the state of the Phoenix economy. 💬
While some industries are seeing consumer hesitation, Dr. Ashley Milhizer is experiencing something very different. As a naturopathic doctor and the founder of Real Results, she shared:
“Yes, it’s a luxury, but people are reorganizing and prioritizing, and getting full medical care is still a priority for them.”
With two thriving locations since launching in 2023, Dr. Milhizer continues to see month-over-month growth, fueled by repeat clients, referrals, and in-demand services like hair restoration and body contouring.
She’s even introduced a membership program to help make high-quality aesthetic treatments more accessible.
“I’m trying to stay very grounded in what’s real, and what’s real is growth.”
👏 Cheers to Real Results for continuing to thrive — and helping people feel their best along the way.
