city grill buffalo ny Angry calls and e-mails from Valley physicians city grill buffalo ny come in regularly to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health.

Many of the complaints boil down to one or two questions: Why can't I get more doses of swine-flu vaccine? And, why have you given more than 200,000 to a single Phoenix doctor?

That physician is Art Mollen, founder and medical director of Scottsdale-based Mollen Immunization Clinics. Since mid-October, Maricopa County has given the bulk of its swine-flu shots to Mollen and his network of immunization clinics.

Mollen is to flu vaccines what Google is to search engines, at least in Arizona. The 64-year-old doctor has cornered the market on retail-based immunizations.

Each fall, he and his staff deliver nearly 1 million seasonal flu shots in community grocery stores, workplaces and clinics. The firm is the single biggest provider of such shots in this state and one of the largest in the nation.

This year, Mollen's reach is extending even further.

He was tapped by Dr. Bob England, Maricopa County's director of public health, to immunize hundreds of thousands of Valley schoolchildren against the swine-flu virus, also known as the H1N1 virus. Mollen also hopes to roll out swine-flu vaccine to the general public in the coming weeks and months.

"I don't blame the (private) docs for putting their patients' needs first," England said, referring to complaints from other doctors. But "if we didn't have him (Mollen) doing this, city grill buffalo ny I'd be up a creek without a paddle. We couldn't hope to pull off school-based clinics without him.city grill buffalo ny"

Mollen is a well-known entrepreneur in the Valley. He has cultivated a celebrity image of sorts, authoring nutrition and wellness books and giving health advice weekly on Channel 3 (KTVK). He has appeared on "The Larry King Show," "Good Morning America" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

His is a classic business success story, and the trappings of wealth have followed. Property records show he lives in a 7,800-square-foot home in Paradise Valley, purchased in 2005 for more than $2.7 million.

But attaining success wasn't easy.

"People think it just happened," Mollen said. But "we initially met with so much resistance."
