What is Southwellness?

Southwellness is a personal-physician, limited-volume practice that does not participate with insurance.  My goal is to build relationships with members with a focus on humanism and responsiveness, and help patients maintain dignity in the face of health and wellness challenges. Finding a doctor you can trust to be there when you need them, to spend the time it takes to empower you, who will treat you like family in a real sense is not even an expectation most people dare to have anymore.  The goal of Southwellness is to change the paradigm of what primary care can be.

We enjoy treating newborns to elders with any and all medical challenges.

DR. TYLER SOUTHWELL

BOARD CERTIFIED IN FAMILY MEDICINE

I started my career in medicine in undergrad leading my pre-med pals and myself to become certified nurse aids. As we all approached the MCAT, I got us hooked up to a prep course, which they asked me to teach after the pre-assessment exam. I promptly got my money back. However, caring for people at the level of nurse-aid was HARD, and although I felt the call to medicine, I decided I could not apply to medical school without exploring what caring for the ill means at this most basic, intimate level and learn to love it. I spent the next two years working in people’s homes, and then in the hospital, doing bed baths and everything else you can imagine. I learned the importance of that intimate space you enter when caring for someone vulnerable, and the importance of compassion and respect for their human dignity in that vulnerable state above all.

“Those experiences formed the foundation for my passion ​for the healing arts.”

​For medical school, I chose Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan given the strength of the clinical experience the city and its beautiful people offered compared to the other programs I was accepted to. I found time to become a student leader, and got politically active advocating for our students, program, and community. It all culminated with raising enough money and support to launch a student run free clinic to support the uninsured in that community which continues to be a source of pride at WSU SOM.

It turned out I liked everything in medical school, and have always loved working with my hands.  I was a competitive student, and fought for a spot in Urology which I got in Toledo, OH.  I had a great time there, learning from some amazing pediatric, general and plastic surgeons not to mention the urologists I had the fortune to work under.  However, I continued to have fantasies of being that village general practice doctor, and maybe change the world through public health efforts.  I made the choice to change specialties, and was fortunate to be able to get a spot outside the general match at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  I was offered credit for the time spent in my first year, which I did not accept and finished a full 3 years of residency in Family Medicine.  I owe a great deal to my mentors there, and at the University of Toledo for what I now know was an uncommonly rich training experience.

After residency, I worked in a Detroit Emergency Room, then a free clinic in Ann Arbor. I then felt the itch to take a medical spirit journey and took a job in Alaska. I headed to Bethal, Alaska, where I had the most amazing and enhancing experience of my career to date. I was the everything doctor, working the emergency room, operating room, caring for the hospitalized patients, and delivering the region’s babies. I was responsible for 15,000 people every shift, fielding far-flung villages crises while juggling the sick patients in front of me. It was amazing.

​I came to Arizona first through a temporary job working with the Gila River Tribe, near Levine, Arizona. My wife and I fell in love with this place, and decided to stay. I took a job in Gold Canyon, as a medical director of a great staff. When that experience ended, it opened a new chapter and brought me to Phoenix where I have been putting down permanent roots in the community.
