Had my first meeting with Dr. Jack Shier yesterday. I don’t know yet how effective our medication decision will be, but I do know that I was given a very high level of care from the moment I put in an inquiry online. His staff called me within 24 hours. They explained the process, costs, and set me up for an appointment. They confirmed my appointment and got me all the forms beforehand. The forms were easy to complete. The office staff called me an hour prior to my telemed appointment and confirmed I knew how to log on. Dr. Shier logged on at the appointed time. Typically I wait a long time at

By far the best experience with woth a psychiatrist I've ever had! I was diagnosed with ADHD in Nov of 2020 and never really had any of the two previous provider explain treatment options or how to navigate symptoms-I was just put on medication. Dr. Shier actually took the time to explain everything to me and I left our appointment with more insight as to what to expect now and in the future as far as my treatment plan. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SHIER! His office staff was a delight to work with as well and very responsive!

After seeing the reviews for Dr. Shier, I had to submit a review. I have been going to see Dr. Shier monthly or every other month for about a year and a half. She is incredibly engaging, kind, and really makes you feel comfortable and normal for being there. I'm anxious and have trouble going to any doctors appointment, excepts appointments with Dr. Shier. Doctors are human too and have bad days, but I can't even imagine her being unengaged.
The entire vibe in the lobby and in her office is very calming. They also have a tablet you check In with, which for me is super nice bc I&apos

On my first visit, I had no idea what to expect and had never had any previous experience with Psychiatric Practices. But I have to say that Dr. Anna Shier was completely welcoming and engaged. She actively listened and made sure it was my decision completely when it came time to pursue methods of treatment. I had a stereotype of what Psychiatrists were like- but she certainly surpassed any expectations I had.
The opening/waiting room is quite lovely with snacks, water, and helpful staff available.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this practice. I suffer from a chronic illness and disability. Sometimes my mind makes a schedule my body can’t keep up. Their office staff has always been kind, considerate, generous to those factors and accommodating me in ways that doctors do not do.
As far as my personal wellness and treatment. I feel they have compassion, intellect and a general sense of a concern for my health and well-being. I believe my client/doctor relationship is authentic. I’m very blessed that I walk through the doors...

Very disappointed. Dr. Anna Shier did some work with my son recently and I was underwhelmed with the experience. She came across as totally unengaged and would forget things we had already talked about. I did not see any positive impact with my son during or after treatment. Too many other options in Scottsdale to waste time here.

I can only say positive things about the Shier Private practice and Dr. Shier. Being a professional myself, I am acutely aware of how I am treated in doctors' offices and by the doctors themselves. I have only experienced complete courtesy and respectful treatment there.
I wouldn't be surprised if the negative commenter on this review site has the wrong doctor in mind. The doctors Shier are consummate professionals. I would recommend them to anyone. And, if needed, it would be the first place I would take my child for treatment. M
