Rating & Reviews
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.
