Dr. Michelle Pettitt
About Chapter One Wellness
Physician-Led Care That Blends Modern Science and Natural Healing in Globe, Arizona
At Chapter One Wellness, we started with a simple idea: bring big-city, physician-led aesthetic and wellness services to the heart of Gila County. Too often, patients had to travel hours for hormone therapy, advanced skin treatments, or personalized wellness programs. Our goal was to create a local clinic where science, safety, and natural healing come together — so you can look and feel your best without leaving your community.
Our Philosophy
-
Physician-Led Safety & Quality: Every procedure is supervised by a licensed doctor.
-
Whole-Person Approach: We address hormones, nutrition, lifestyle, and aesthetics for lasting results.
-
Local Convenience: Care and follow-ups right here in Globe — no need to drive to Mesa or Scottsdale.
-
Transparency & Memberships: Clear pricing, packaged care, and flexible membership options.
