Rating & Reviews
Dr. Bauer is extremely professional, kind, experienced with children, knowledgeable, and wise. She knows our son's history and understands our concerns. She is realistic in expectations of our son with his other identified struggles and helps provide information, data, and ideas to create plans for his physical and social development. This especially applies and we discuss and try to figure out what middle school accommodations he needs for his first year of middle school next year. She is fabulous and we are fortunate to have her as our son's specialist in this area!
Great experience!
Dr. Bauer and her team were amazing. Everyone engaged my teenager and allowed her to answer and ask questions. We came out of the appointment with so much new information and hope for future treatments in nut allergies. My child was the most excited I've seen them in a long time. Thank you!!!
My granddaughter shared she was very scared. The Dr. Sent a team of 2 nurses to help assure her that they were there to take care of from the beginning to the end.
Dr. Bauer is exceptional, she is kind and approachable, and accommodating to our kids needs.
Dr. Bauer is a very impressive doctor who took the time to help figure out our son's condition and treatment plan. We are very grateful for her time and guidance!
I appreciate the physician taking the time to go through everything thoroughly and engage my child in the session.
Doctor Bauer was kind and clearly very knowledgeable about her field. She went the extra mile to make sure we could get the clearest answer possible about my child's possible allergy. Her staff were also great and made sure all of my questions were answered. Would recommend to anyone who is having an allergy scare with their child.
I love this club and provider! Thank you Dr. Bauer
Excellent and consistent staff all around. Everyone was very genuine and thorough. Dr. Bauer was a great listener, addressed every concern, and went above and beyond more than I expected. Every single staff member was kind and helpful (which is rare now in healthcare unfortunately). Phoenix Children's truly lives up to its name and reputation.
Dr. BAUER is Very helpful and gives great information based on my sons condition. Every visit has been pleasant. I would recommend Dr. BAUER to anyone having immunology issues. Thank you for all the information and helping us understand out childs condition more each appointment.
