Copper Valley Integrative Medicine and Wellness : Laura Moncada, FNP-C

I will NOT recommend Laura Moncada due to transparency issues, complaints regarding billing issues (see reviews), and lack of professionalism. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Tucson is a University town with outstanding medical facilities and professionals so no need to compromise!! CVIN does not say they are a concierge medical practice, but they are certainly charging as one. I asked multiple times what the $200/month charge covered because I have an HSA and IRS rules, (they do not cover medical plan premiums and concierge fees). The answer they provided repeatedly was simply “Integrative, Functional, and hormonal therapy”, implying services, not membership. They charged me before I even had an appointment scheduled. Several unanswered calls lead to a voicemail where I asked what specifically the monthly charge covered and requested either an appointment or a refund. Apparently, they don’t want to be questioned and refused me as a patient, saying refund would be issued (😂). Due to lack of professionalism I will count myself lucky to have avoided further interaction.

I recently began seeing Laura and I could not be more impressed. She was exceptionally thorough and well prepared, taking the time to review my medical history in detail, arriving with notes, and making me feel genuinely heard. At no point did I feel rushed, instead, it was clear that my health truly mattered. The fee is more than fair for the hard work Laura puts in and the exceptional care she provides. Laura’s background, education and experience working on the east coast also reinforced the fact that I made the right choice in trusting and choosing Copper Valley. From both personal experience and well documented research, I’ve found that healthcare professionals who have trained or practiced on the East Coast often deliver a higher standard of care compared to what I’ve experienced in Tucson, where care can feel extremely subpar. East Coast trained clinicians frequently benefit from stronger academic foundations, higher rates of advanced nursing and medical training, and access to integrated clinical infrastructure. These factors are associated with better patient outcomes, including lower mortality and more comprehensive, coordinated care. So, if you are looking for an intelligent, experienced and educated PCP, I am certain she will provide a caliber of care that surpasses the rest. Overall, I would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking a physician who combines intelligence, compassion, and evidence based holistic care. I feel truly fortunate to have her guiding my health journey.

The waiting room is like entering a spa—soft music, pleasant decor, and relaxation. I had my vitals taken, and Laura was in the room within three minutes. She had reviewed my labs, which was evident from our conversation. She asked about my ultimate goal and devised a plan based on her expertise and my desires. We discussed the plan in depth, and she ensured I understood what needed to be done. My prescription was sent, and detailed notes on the visit were in my patient portal about an hour after I arrived home. Overall, this was the best doctor's visit I have ever had. Highly recommend. Thank you, Victor and Laura

Dr Laura has been a tremendous help truly getting down to the core of my health. I spent years going in circles with other General practitioners with no answers. Dr Moncada looks deeper, does the proper bloodwork, and looks with a full understanding and great knowledge. She listens and communicates well. That alone is a true value. Thank you Dr!!

I am so grateful for finding Laura and having the opportunity to have her as my nurse practitioner. From my experiences thus far, I can see her intelligence and genuine care in every interaction. She truly listens and is dedicated to addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just putting a temporary fix on them. She communicates effectively and is extremely well-organized. Her office space is welcoming, and her positive energy makes me feel confident that I'm in the best hands. She makes me feel excited to embark on this health journey to improve my well-being. I look forward to having her as part of my health journey for years to come. Highly recommend!
