Dr. Fitzhugh has been so great at making me feel like my symptoms are being understood and taken seriously. He never makes you feel bad about yourself and I'm extremely grateful to have him as a doctor. And I've seen a lot of doctors haha.

I have been seeing this doctor for over five years One day at an appointment i told him I felt suicidal which i normally dont. He totally ignored what i said and ended the session. I had to call another doctor and he admitted me to the hospital. I would not recommend this doctor at all. During crisis calls he is definetly not helpful at all

Dr. Fitzhugh is a true godsend. I would recommend him highly. His bedside manner is amazing - sensitive, the right amount of humor, instills confidence, calls back promptly and is especially great with teenagers. Thank you Dr. Fitzhugh for being a true lifeline for our family.

I've been seeing this Dr. for a while. He is the best psychiatrist!! Excellent education, intelligent, lots of experience, easy to talk to, great sense of humor, knows what he's doing. He's definitely has helped me through some major traumas/events. I have also had numerous encounters with other patients in the waiting room who always positively remark about Fitz. He's definitely worth the wait, when he does run late. He actually cares about his patient's and takes the time to listen.
