I will never regret my choice to confide in Dr. Swartout! She has adeptly and intuitively…read moresensed what I needed to experience deep healing and growth for deeply imbedded patterns of thought and behavior. She has helped me more than previous therapists and is the very best listener and empathic professional anyone could ask for. She clearly tailors her approach to best meet each client at his/her unique point of need. She is also quick to assess the root cause/s of issues and sensitively leads you through one or more of the most effective modalities for restoring your sense of peace, stability, and hope.. I have no doubt that I am her entire focus during our sessions. Her decisions on my behalf are consistently grounded in intense study, reflection and kind and supportive respect for not only my past but also my future potential.

I had called back the same day after making the appointment with her cuz I had a question and never got a return call. I called 3 more times the week of my appointment to confirm and still didn't hear back. The morning of she called me saying she was late cuz of her new puppy. When she arrived I was trying to openly communicate about what had happened. She then said "YOU'RE CLEARLY UNHAPPY" and I left.. GREAT SESSION. I was looking forward to meeting with her. She has a lot of great reviews but my experience was very unprofessional.

Changed my review based on new experiences here. Someone reached out to me and asked me about what…read moreI experienced. He apologized which meant a lot. He also assured me that I did nothing wrong and therapist aren't allowed to reserve unscheduled spots here. That has also been my experience in the past with my old therapist. If I didn't schedule out far enough, then another client could schedule and I'd just have to miss out or schedule the next available day that that time was open. It's first come first serve so what Stacy did was wrong. I was then paired with Dr. D whom I saw for a few months and definitely felt much safer. Then due to availability, I switched to Sally and wow. She is the perfect therapist for me. I don't plan on leaving Desert Sage while they have a gem like Sally there. Thank you all for reaching out to me.

Disappointing and obnoxiously unavailable…read more All of my kids have attended therapy here at one point or another, and two shared the same therapist. One of my children needed consistent support but was suddenly dropped as a client under false circumstances. When I tried to find a different therapist, per my child's request and the advice of other medical professionals, I attempted to stay with the practice. An appointment was made with a new therapist, only for the practice to later cancel it and say my child was restricted to seeing only one other therapist, without providing any explanation. That therapist had limited availability, which would have required me to pull my child from school inconsistently. When I explained that wouldn't work, I was told, "Well, maybe this isn't the right practice for you." Not my child, me. I was advocating for my child to receive consistent care, and that response was incredibly disappointing. Don't waste your time here, you'll end up needing more therapy than what you walked in with.

5 Stars -- Freedom Psychiatry…read more I have been a patient at Freedom Psychiatry since June 2025, and my experience has been consistently exceptional. Both Ruth and Dr. Paul Okoronkwo, PMHNP, exemplify professionalism, authenticity, and responsiveness in every interaction. They take the time to listen, provide thoughtful guidance, and ensure that care is both effective and compassionate. Since beginning treatment, my anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and sleep have all improved significantly. The level of support and follow‑through from this team is truly outstanding. Freedom Psychiatry operates with the kind of integrity and patient‑centered focus that is rare to find. Highly recommended.

I cannot speak for the other doctor who shared the suite with this doctor I encountered, but this…read morereview is for: Pawar Balwinder S MD I wish there was a negative star to pick. I feel as though having seen this cold, arrogant, condescending psychiatrist was a major setback to my recovery. The entire appointment was a waste of my time and my money. I'm seriously considering not paying the bill I'm sure to receive in the mail and just allowing it to go unpaid and impact my credit.... that's how badly I do NOT want to put a single PENNY in this man's pocket. He had no empathy towards a crisis I had just recently been through. I felt as though he did not do HIS homework and read my freaking chart/file for even a minute. His eye contact was lacking, and when our eyes did meet, I felt creeped out and uncomfortable. I was appalled at his lack of warmth, and lack of listening skills. I felt like some of my medications needed to be changed, which is his job to do, but he basically waived off my concerns with some flippant remark, not taking anything I had previously stated into consideration. What really set me off (internally, of course) was when he placed my prescriptions (the exact. same. ones. the hospital gave me) on the table between us... without even looking up from his folders.... and said, "Thank you. Goodbye." Its sad that he is so near the hospital, and that most people getting discharged are probably referred to him. I'm sure he gets A LOT of business from people like me who respected the referring hospital doctor enough to think that they would not send me to some unfeeling jerk. I didn't even research him before going to the appointment, which I own as a mistake on my part. I cannot believe that psychiatry is this guy's profession. I thought, well maybe he's having a bad day. You know, positive self-talk and all that, but when I told the front desk gal that no further appointments were needed, that I was never going to return, and telling her who my doctor was after she had asked, the looks on all the staff's faces told all-- This was not the first time they have heard this, and they were not surprised.

Dr Hanna-Moussa is an outstanding Endocrinologist…read more As a type 1 diabetic (for 50 years), who is also on a pump, I have had many Endocrinologists in my lifetime. I rate Dr Hanna-Moussa as one of my very best--a high-performing, competent, and passionate doctor who is deeply committed to his work. I have been his grateful patient for many years. An example of his patient care is what just happened to me on my vacation to New England, when he rescued me after a Dexcom G7 BGM failed. His quick assistance and willingness to help were amazing. Here's what happened. I had packed one additional G7 for the trip. Because my current G7 got caught on clothing and was ripped off my arm, I inserted my new "spare" G7. That G7 BGM, upon insertion, had an immediate hardware failure- displaying a failed sensor; replace immediately. I had no other G7's with me. This all happened while: I was on vacation 2,800 miles away. There was a 3-hour time zone difference between Arizona and my vacation location on the East Coast. This happened at the worst of times, on a SUNDAY at 6:00 am Arizona time. Panic definitely set in. I started calling everyone. Most responses were "We are closed; call back during regular business hours, Monday through Friday." I had no other G7's with me, and Dr. Moussa's quick, remote assistance showed his genuine dedication to patient support, especially during emergencies. This level of support is truly above and beyond what most medical professionals would do, and it makes me feel deeply grateful. I want to recognize his unwavering dedication, medical wisdom, and personalized approach, and reassure potential patients of his expertise and compassionate care. Sue Wilson His office staff is just as committed to their patients and their roles, and their kindness adds to the sense of trust and reassurance I feel.

It is very hard to find a Dr who will take the time to actually LISTEN and HEAR what the patient is saying. His office is clean and modern. He is clearly personally invested in his practice and everything about it reflects his high standards and personal commitment to each of his patients.
