Review of Southwest Naturopathic Medical...

I have been going to SCNM Medical Center since they used to be in Scottsdale, and I have always had a good experience. They were the first to introduce me to natural/eastern medicine. The only reason I am not giving them a 5 star review is because I think they are running their IV Therapy service dangerously. They have students doing the IVs and the last two times I have gone my visit was the first time they had ever done an IV on anyone, nerve wracking to say the least and I will no longer be going there for IVs anymore because of this. IVs can be very dangerous if done incorrectly and they should be done by a nurse who is experienced, so I would think this would be a risk. Shouldn't the students at least have practiced several times on other students or doctors before they are "practicing" for the first time on clients? Seems odd to me...
