Dr. Barbara Baumgardner at Arizona TherapyWorks

We have been seeing Dr. Baumgardner for years. She is wonderful and has had the most profound impact on our life.

I cannot recommend Dr. B enough! After coming from another practitioner that had misdiagnosed me and had me taking the incorrect medication for nearly a year, Dr. B was everything I was looking for in a psychiatrist and more. She actually, genuinely cares about her patients, remembering previous conversations and details about your life outside of your treatment plan. She respects your time and always arrives to appointments on time. She listens to you, validates your concerns, and works with you to find a treatment plan that will be suit your needs, both from a pharmaceutical and holistic perspective. If you have a question or a concern between appointments, she is always quick to respond to an email. I greatly appreciate her and how much she has helped me achieve stability in my life. Seriously, if you are looking for the perfect psychiatrist, she's the one!

I was grabbing Dr. Barbara’s website addy to give to someone else and was shocked to see her overall rating here on Google.

Dr. B’s care has been one of the best things in my and my son’s life. My son, who has disabilities, has been in her care for 11 years now. No one has ever been rude to us at her office and her staff has gone out of their way to help us when we’ve run into challenges with the pharmacy, his day program, insurance, etc.

In 11 years we’ve maybe been rescheduled 3 times when she has not felt well. I would much rather reschedule than have her at work not feeling well. She is not part of a “group” who covers for each other. This is her practice and she’s it.

Dr B is knowledgeable, thoughtful, patient and kind. She looks for multiple options that will work to help you and gives you holistic options if you don’t want to go the route of prescriptions. She looks thoroughly into what might be contributing including doing thorough bloodwork and a meticulous analysis of the results.

My son has the best relationship with her. He feels safe, happy and heard when he meets with her. He knows she cares about his wellbeing and he trusts her. She has always treated him with dignity, respect and compassion.

To be clear, I am very particular about who works with my son as his mother, his legal guardian and his advocate. I can’t tell you what happened in the situations where people have said they did not have a good experience with her or her office, but what I can tell you is that she has been a consistently exceptional provider to my family for 11 years now.

I have always and will continue to highly recommend her as an option for your care. Everyone has to find the right “fit” with doctors/providers for their needs, and she may not be right “fit” for everyone, but she is an amazing human being and doctor.

I've been a patient of Dr. B's for quite some time now and I highly recommend her! She is attentive and thoroughly listens to my concerns and progress. And I never feel rushed. I'm so glad I found her. Also, her staff is amazing! Always helpful when I've had issues with the pharmacy filling a script. Thank you Dr. B and staff!
