My wife has suffered from severe depression for years and has not found any psychiatrists that she can trust. Dr. Fruitman is the first psychiatrist my wife actually seems to have confidence in. She says he really seems to care about her well being and it feels genuine. When issues have come up, his office has been very responsive and accommodating. He also isn't just a pill dispensary. He actually spends an hour with her each session talking to her about her issues and providing her with therapy and providing pharmacological treatments. His practice is state of the art, so he also offers treatments few if any other psychiatrists in provide, including ketamine therapy and rTMS. Because he is able to offer it all, he doesn't seem to push anyone one course of treatment or therapeutic approach like some doctors will. For the first time in years, I am really hopefully that we found a doctor that can help my wife.

I suffered from low grade depression since my college years. I had 5 very severe episodes of bad depressions, and they are getting worse. My last episode lasted for 6 months, until I changed to Dr Fruitman. I felt better 2 weeks after my first consultation!

I saw five psychiatrists since the age of 12, treatment for ADD. First time I had a psychiatrist understand my struggles and not label my condition as mental illness!
