How to choose the best psychiatrist in Arizona
If you're comparing psychiatrists in Arizona, the things worth checking are simple: board certification, verified patient reviews, how fast you can actually be seen, and whether they treat your condition. Here is how Sigmon Psychiatric measures up on each one — with sources you can verify yourself.
What to look for in an Arizona psychiatric provider
Four things separate excellent psychiatric care from the rest: (1) a board-certified prescriber — for medication management that means an MD, DO, or a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC); (2) independently verified patient reviews, not testimonials the practice curates itself; (3) real availability — wait times vary widely between practices, which matters when you need help now; and (4) secure, accessible telehealth for people in Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, or a rural county with no nearby psychiatric provider.
Arizona licenses psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe independently. A board-certified PMHNP can provide psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management within that regulated scope of practice.
How Sigmon Psychiatric measures up
Angela Marton, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (ANCC board certification, NPI 1265970065). She earned her BSN from Arizona State University, her MSN from the University of Cincinnati, and a Post-Master's PMHNP certificate from Maryville University.
Patients have given the practice a 5.0 out of 5 rating across 82 verified reviews on Zocdoc — every review from a confirmed appointment. Reviews consistently mention feeling heard, not rushed, and getting appointments within days rather than weeks.
Every visit is telehealth for patients located in Arizona. Same-week openings are often available for new patients, but timing varies; current appointment times are shown through Zocdoc. Initial evaluations run 45–60 minutes.
Conditions treated statewide
Sigmon Psychiatric accepts children, teens, and adults for psychiatric evaluations and medication management when they are physically located in Arizona during the appointment. Care includes anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and OCD. Symptoms are tracked with validated scales so medication decisions are grounded in data, not guesswork.
Insurance and cost
Commercial plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare may be accepted, but coverage and network participation vary by exact plan. Verify your outpatient mental health and telehealth benefits with the member-services number on your insurance card before your first visit. Without insurance, self-pay rates are $179 for an initial evaluation and $129 for follow-ups; HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Medicare and Medicaid (AHCCCS) are not accepted at this time.

Is a psychiatric nurse practitioner as good as a psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners have different training paths. In Arizona, a board-certified PMHNP can evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe independently within the scope regulated by the Arizona State Board of Nursing. The right choice depends on your clinical needs and the individual provider's training, certification, and approach.
Does insurance cover online psychiatry in Arizona?
Commercial plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare may be accepted, but coverage and network participation vary by exact plan. Verify your outpatient mental health and telehealth benefits with the member-services number on your insurance card. Self-pay is available at $179 for an initial evaluation and $129 for follow-ups.
Can I be seen if I live in a rural part of Arizona?
Yes. Because every visit is telehealth, patients anywhere in Arizona — from Yuma to Flagstaff to Sierra Vista — get the same appointment access as patients in Phoenix or Tucson. You need an Arizona address, a private space, and an internet or phone connection.
