What Our Patients Say
My experience with Apogee Behavioral Medicine has been amazing! The providers and office staff are so friendly and helpful and demonstrate a true sense of care. I appreciate that every time I call there is always a kind person on the other end of the phone. From scheduling, to my actual appointment with Dr. Ayers, they have made the entire process as straightforward and easy as possible. I prefer to be seen in-person, but travel for work so it’s comforting to know I have the option to book a virtual appointment, if needed. I’m so grateful for the compassion they have shown me and look forward to their guidance as I learn to manage my anxiety. I feel like I’ve finally found the support system I’ve been searching for.
I reached out to several psychiatry groups, some of which never even returned my call. Not only was I able to speak with an actual person, but she scheduled me for an appointment right away. Their office has a very calming feel and I was greeted with a smile and felt safe and welcomed at my appointment. I highly recommend Apogee Behavioral Medicine. They’re truly a wonderful group and their sincerity for patients dealing with mental health is at the forefront of this practice.
It was very easy to talk to the professionals there. They listened to everything I said and were very encouraging and supportive. I highly recommend Apogee Behavioral Medicine to anyone.
