Mayo Clinic planted its Arizona campus here, and the concierge practices, medical tourism packages, and resort-partnered recovery suites that followed turned Scottsdale into a destination where people fly in for surgery and stay for rehabilitation. The city's roughly 248,000 residents skew older and wealthier than most of the metro, with 26% aged 65 or older and a median household income of $111,000. An estimated 300,000 to 400,000 snowbirds visit the greater Phoenix metro each winter, with Scottsdale as a top destination. For complex specialty care, diagnostics, and clinical trials, Mayo Clinic Arizona covers 65 or more disciplines from its Scottsdale outpatient campus, with inpatient care at Mayo Clinic Hospital in nearby Phoenix (304 beds), consistently ranked number one in Arizona. For trauma and emergencies, HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn is a Level I Trauma Center with 300-plus beds and one of the nation's largest military trauma training programs at a civilian hospital. For maternity and high-risk pregnancy, HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea has 427 beds, a Level III NICU, and a full labor and delivery unit. For orthopedic and stroke care, HonorHealth Thompson Peak (120 beds) houses the Orthopedic Institute and is a certified Primary Stroke Center. Scottsdale has one of Arizona's densest concentrations of private specialty practices, particularly in plastic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and concierge medicine. Several practices offer dedicated out-of-town patient concierge services with resort partnerships. Behavioral health resources include Via Linda Behavioral Hospital (120 beds), Banner Behavioral Health Hospital, and Mind24-7 (24/7 walk-in mental health urgent care). HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea is also a major women's health hub with a full labor and delivery unit and Level III NICU, making it a destination for high-risk pregnancy care in the East Valley. OB-GYN and midwifery practices are well-represented across Scottsdale, serving both residents and patients who travel from surrounding communities for prenatal and specialty women's care. For uninsured patients, Scottsdale itself has limited safety-net options; the nearest FQHCs are Mountain Park Health Center in Tempe and Valleywise Health sites in Phoenix, each within a 20 to 30 minute drive. Skin cancer screening is especially important here. Arizona's melanoma rate is 42 per 100,000, roughly 40% higher than the national average, driven by 350 or more days of sunshine and extreme UV exposure six months of the year. For Scottsdale's 248,000 residents, that translates to roughly 100 new melanoma diagnoses each year in this city alone, making an annual skin cancer screening a practical necessity rather than an optional checkup.

Top Providers in Scottsdale

Dr. Connie Faro, MD

Dr. Connie Faro, MD

Featured Provider
Obstetrics & Gynecology
Accepting PatientsVideo Visits
TEMPE, AZ 85281

Dr. Faro is the kind of physician who has done research on a remote Antarctic station and still calls the delivery room her favorite place to be. Originally from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, she studied biomedical sciences at Auburn University, then headed to Creighton in Omaha for both her master's thesis, studying parasitology, and her medical degree. Residency at the University of Texas at Houston confirmed her love for OB/GYN, and her colleagues took notice early, recognizing her with teaching and resident awards across multiple years. After training, Dr. Faro built a practice in Houston and spent over 16 years at The Woman's Hospital of Texas, where she rose through the ranks from Secretary to Vice President to President of Medical Staff, ultimately chairing the Department of Obstetrics. Along the way, she contributed to peer-reviewed research and took part in a National Science Foundation project with the United States Antarctic Program, two months on the ice, a long way from the labor ward. When it was time for a new chapter, Dr. Faro brought that breadth of experience to MomDoc's Scottsdale office. Whether she is managing a high-volume delivery day or walking a patient through a complex diagnosis, she draws on a career defined by curiosity, leadership, and an unwillingness to stay in one lane.

Obstetrics & Gynecology
Accepting PatientsVideo Visits
MESA, AZ 85204

Dr. DiGiacomo grew up in Gallup, New Mexico, where the landscape was big but the town was small, the kind of place where you know your neighbors and your doctors by name. She studied Spanish at Trinity University in San Antonio before finding her way to medicine through a post-baccalaureate program at the University of New Mexico. That bilingual foundation would prove just as important as any clinical rotation; today she cares for patients in both English and Spanish, bridging a gap that too many women in the Valley still face. During residency in Tulsa, Dr. DiGiacomo discovered her love for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and earned recognition for both her surgical skill and her dedication to teaching. She describes herself as a true generalist at heart, equally at home in the delivery room and the operating suite. When it came time to choose where to build a career, Arizona called her back, this time to the East Valley, closer to the family roots that have always grounded her.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85251

Before Lindsey ever set foot in a clinical rotation, she spent her days as a habilitation therapist working one-on-one with a young child with autism. That experience, learning to meet a patient exactly where they are, with patience and creativity, shaped the kind of provider she would become. Lindsey studied kinesiology at Arizona State University, drawn to the science of how bodies move and heal. She carried that foundation to Loma Linda University in California, where her PA training took her through a wide sweep of specialties: emergency medicine, surgery, pediatric oncology, psychiatry, and the OB/GYN rotation that would chart her course. She found herself most at home in women's health, where the relationship between provider and patient is ongoing and deeply personal. Today, Lindsey is skilled in both the clinical and procedural sides of the practice, from well-woman care to first-assisting in laparoscopic and open surgeries. She brings a calm, thorough approach to every patient encounter, the kind of presence that makes even a routine appointment feel unhurried.
