Dr. Antonio Bird, MD

I have been under Dr. Bird’s care for several years. He consistently provides excellent care with great compassion and expertise. I find it very easy to communicate with his office and appointments have always been easy to schedule. The office quickly found solutions to accommodate patients during Covid and post Hurricane Helene. I am extremely grateful for all of Dr. Bird’s efforts to help me harness the tools to live my life to the fullest.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Bird for almost a year now for generalized depression and anxiety. He’s easy to talk to and remember’s all the people in my life that I talk about from appointment to appointment. I feel like a lot of he therapist I have been to forget things in between sessions but it seems like we never left off from the last appointment when I return.

Dr. Bird is an exceptional person and doctor. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with their emotional development. Neither therapy nor medication work overnight but if you persevere and are honest with Dr. Bird and yourself, you will get to a much better place. That I can guarantee.

I found him personable, kind, non-judgmental, patient, taking his time, listening, adjusting treatment to my individual needs after discussing it with me in depth. Scheduling was easy and communication with Mary Beth at the office very pleasant and effective.

Dr. Bird has helped me twice now over the past decade and I am very happy with the therapy and medication management he has provided. Very professional and compassionate environment.

I would recommend Dr Bird to anyone. I was in such a low place before coming to see him, and now I am 100 times better. His office manager, Mary Beth is extremely good at communicating with me, if I need anything she has a response to me within 5 minutes.

Dr. Bird and Mary Beth have been awesome since DAY 1. If you need help with substance addiction, I highly recommend Dr. Bird. You will never feel "judged" or "frowned upon" in their office. Dr. Bird will help you get on the right track and maintain sobriety. I truly believe he is the best in this area.

After a few years of having tried various other practices I am very happy and thankful to have found a place that I do not feel the need to “upgrade” out of. I have been with Dr. Bird for several years now and only have good things to say.

When I moved to NC from VA, I had already been on Suboxone for over 4 years, was down to a very low dose, and looking for assistance in tapering off completely. I was also smoking marijuana regularly. When I started seeing Dr. Bird, he was very condescending and resistant to the idea of me getting off suboxone, and required me to come in every 2 weeks (at $325 per visit), as opposed to once a month, until I quit smoking marijuana. He wanted me to stay on suboxone indefinitely, and was more worried about my marijuana use. I made it very clear that I was not interested in this outcome, and used it as motivation to taper off as quickly as possible, against his recommendation. I essentially took my recovery into my own hands, and lowered my own dose every visit for several months until I was off of it, and stopped seeing the doctor altogether. I am happy to report that I have now been 100% opiate-free for 3 years and 9 months, and still enjoying marijuana, no thanks to Dr. Bird.

Very comfortable setting and overall great experience, especially in regards to most other options I have ever experienced.

Dr Bird has saved my life. I have been a patient of his for ~5 years. I truly look forward to our sessions. My confidence has grown leaps-and-bounds as a result of our work. I say “our” because Dr.Bird is the only psychiatrist that has honestly WORKED with me to build my own ability to perceive life in a strong light of positivity. We work together, so I never feel as if I ever have to face a challenge alone. If you are looking for a doctor who really cares, please do not hesitate. Dr.Bird and his amazing staff will help you too. Become better, love yourself, you deserve a great doctor.

I have had an excellent experience with Dr. Bird. My husband said that I have improved 110 percent since I began therapy with Dr. Bird. It doesn’t get any better than that. Mary Beth is the consummate professional and is welcoming and kind. I highly recommend this highly intelligent and capable team.

Dr. Bird is an exceptional physician. He has helped me immensely in the past two years. Dr. Bird and Mary Beth have treated me like family- I feel welcomed and cared for. With the help of Dr. Bird, I truly feel like I’m finally starting to get my life back. If you are ready and willing to put in the time and effort to change your life, then Dr. Bird (and Mary Beth) will be there for support and encouragement.

I’ve been with Dr. Bird for over 5 years now, and I have nothing but good feelings for them. I am truly thankful to have found them.

Calling Dr. Byrd is probably the best thing I’ve done for myself. I knew within minutes of talking to Mary Beth that his practice would be a safe and kind environment. He has never judged me on my shortcomings and is eager to celebrate my successes. He is patient and I’ve been allowed to design my own treatment program. Needing help is nothing to be ashamed of. A huge weight will be lifted off your shoulders from your very first visit. You don’t have to carry it alone.

I urge anyone with an addiction, or anyone who has had a difficulty childhood. PLEASE do yourself a favor. You deserve the best. You deserve to heal. You deserve Dr. Bird. I would travel hours to see this amazing doctor. He is that great. I cannot begin to imiagine my life now without seeing him now going on four years. Please do not look any further. I cannot say enough great things, except he helped me save my life! That's pretty amazing. SH

Dr. Bird and Mary Beth are amazing. I have been working with Dr. Bird for around three years and I feel so extremely fortunate to have found him. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs the assistance he offers.

He is a great doctor, super knowledgeable on the subject and truly after the success for his patients. Its not an easy field of healthcare to address, and probably the harshest of all reviewers on the topic because if they don't get what they want they'll be happy to review harshly. He's been a blessing in my husbands life and have given us another chance at life.

I have been going to Dr. Bird's office for over about a year now and have nothing but a great patient/doctor relationship with him. I have been able to not only get my life back together but have also soared past my expectations by far!! If you are ready to get your life back then please see this caring, smart, funny, and kind doctor. It's not all just magic, if you put in the work he will do his job and together you will come up with plan for success. Just be honest with yourself and Dr. Bird!

He is a great doctor. He cares about his patients and wants them to succeed. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr Bird's office.
