Largest psychiatry practices in Arizona

Clinicians grouped by shared practice address. The registry holds no employer field for individuals, so where a name appears it comes from an organisation registered at the same address — a reasonable inference, not a stated fact. A large building can house several practices, and a clinician may list an address they do not belong to.

New psychiatric prescribers in Arizona, year by year

Both charts are built from registration dates, so they show when the current workforce joined. The registry records no departures, which means the running total can only rise and neither chart should be read as net growth — a clinician who registered in 2019 and has since retired is simply absent from both.

Who is practising, and for how long

849 of Arizona's psychiatric prescribers (29.1%) registered with the federal system in the last five years, and 180 in the last twelve months. 405 have been registered for more than twenty years. The nurse practitioner side is newer: 41.3% of psychiatric NPs registered in the last five years, against 6.5% of MD psychiatrists.

Of those who record a gender with the registry, 65.4% are women, split 77.3% among nurse practitioners and 43.7% among MD psychiatrists.
