great psychiatrist & nice staff

I've been a patient since almost 5 years. Me and my two sons see him. Dr. Fogelman is great. He is a psychiatrist since over 30 years and very smart (he is a Mensa member) His office is very small - but they let you know how he is doing on time and you can come a little bit later when he is running behind. The staff told us that it is hard to schedule sometimes, because patients come for a short medicine check and sometimes that turns out to be longer - you never know if there is an emergency. The staff, Ruth and Tiffany, are very warm and friendly. One time we had to wait 30 minutes and they shared all their cookies with us and we even had a fun time. Ruth is Dr. Fogelman's wife and Tiffany is from Sweden. He probably would be lost without them :) But he is very sensitive and listens very good. My one son (Ethan, 19) had a rough time - but he helped us through it! He and his staff are fantastic!

Pros: very friendly
Cons: small waiting room

Great Foster Child Psychiatrist

by patric22hod

I am a foster parent, and Dr. F sees some of my foster children. He often is behind, but he is sweet with my kids, and usually can make them laugh. I also like that he tries to keep medicines to a mininum.

Pros: compassionate with kids
Cons: long wait to be seen

Great staff, wek-versed and caring doc

by barbie44

As I see the horrible reviews last fall for my doc, I can only assume these people were mad because they wanted something (Xanax, Adderall, ???) that he was not willing to give them, because he has been my doc, and my two children's doc for about four or five years. People say I am very attractive, and the good doc has never made a suggestive statement to me, or tried to hug me. We have great sessions--I see him for meds and psychotherapy as well. There are only about three great psychiatrists in town, and he is one of them!!!
