We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Heather Saran. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Heather below.
Heather, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.
A meaningful risk I took was leaving the security of a traditional medical group to start my own independent endocrinology practice, Bright Endocrinology. At the time, it felt daunting to step away from an established system, but I believed patients deserved more than rushed, formulaic visits—I envisioned a practice that uses evidence-based medicine while going beyond traditional care to address root causes, empower lifestyle change, and truly partner with patients. That risk has paid off: Bright Endocrinology now serves patients across Arizona through a concierge-style model that prioritizes access, education, and outcomes. As our next phase of growth, we’re working on launching a comprehensive liver analysis, not just treating disease but optimize health and vitality over the long term—another bold step forward in redefining what excellent care can look like.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Dr. Heather Saran, is a board-certified endocrinologist and established the first concierge endocrine practice in the Phoenix Valley. Through her boutique and personalized approach, Dr. Saran offers direct access to her expertise without the barriers associated with health insurance. Dr. Saran is recognized as a Top Doctor in her specialty!
Dr. Heather Saran, has rapidly established itself as a leader in personalized endocrine and metabolic care across Arizona. What began as a boutique practice in Scottsdale has evolved into a growing, innovative clinic known for its individualized care model, expanded services, and forward-thinking approach to hormone health.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Bright Endocrinology offers membership options designed to support patients through the most important stages of their care journey. With longer visits, direct access to the care team, and more time devoted to education and follow-up, patients receive a deeper level of attention that helps uncover root causes and guide sustainable improvements.
“Our goal from the beginning was to avoid rushed, transactional care,” said Dr. Saran. “We give patients the time and connection they need to truly feel supported.”
As patient needs evolve, the practice’s structure provides room for continued care that remains accessible and personalized.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
To further support patients in reaching their health goals, Bright Endocrinology added an experienced dietitian to its team. Her focus goes far beyond calories or weight loss—taking into account the full picture of a patient’s daily habits, stress, sleep, and lifestyle. By working one-on-one with patients, she helps create sustainable changes that complement medical treatment and improve long-term outcomes.
This holistic nutrition support has been especially impactful for patients managing complex conditions like PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and chronic weight challenges.
Bright Endocrinology expanded its reach by launching statewide telemedicine, giving patients in rural and underserved areas access to expert endocrine care from the comfort of home. Patients can now meet virtually with Dr. Saran and her team for consultations, lab reviews, follow-ups, and nutrition sessions—without the burden of long commutes or limited local options.
“Telemedicine allows us to bring high-quality, personalized care to patients no matter where they live,” said Dr. Saran.
