Patient, Age 13

Dr. Conrad is and was an amazingly helpful person in my mental health recovery.  She is gentle, understanding, and incredibly kind.  I highly recommend her for anyone who is struggling with their eating disorder.

Thank you for the care, patience, and understanding you've shown our daughter throughout her journey.  You remind us that healing begins with understanding, patience, and the belief that ever child deserves to feel safe in their own body.  Recovery isn't about perfection - it's about progress, and you've helped her take those small, brave steps forward.  Your care has helped turn fear into strength and uncertainty into healing.  You've made her feel heard and supported in ways that truly matter.  We're so grateful for the role you've played in her healing and growth.

Parent, MD

Dr. Stephanie Conrad is one of those rare medical professionals that goes above and beyond in her care of children.  We know this first hand for our family and we know how lucky we are to have her here in Arizona.  We needed to move out of state for our child and we were so grateful to continue with Dr. Conrad upon our return o this long jouney.  I know know how many times we reached out to her and she has always responded.  So grateful...
