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!

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.

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!!!

I saw the stuff from one patient about Dr. Fogleman's slurring medicade patients. I and my children are on medicade, and hes' been nice to us and listens good.

I had seen three other pschiatrists before this doctor and I just didn't feel very well with what they were doing. When I saw Dr. F. for the first time a few weeks ago and he thought I should change medicines. I did, and within about 3 or 4 days I felt better than I ever had, and I have been seeing shrinks for over 15 years! He also has lots of warmth and his staff is super.

I am a patient of Dr. F's for almost a decade, and he has seen my children from my first marriage and my beautiful fiancee as well. I am on three separate medications from him, and my two children are on a total of four medications as well. He has warned me that none of the meds my kids are on are actually approved for children. My fiancee loves his ability to hear her symptoms and discern a diagnosis. His staff is also so warm and compassionate.

My husband, myself, and my adolescent daughter have seen Dr. Fogelman for about three years. We are each on medications prescribed by him, and I am in psychotherapy with him as well. He has been a great "family doctor" for us, and we are all tons better and functioning at higher levels because of his care. There are times, however, that he can be over an hour behind, so the staff has taught us to call before our appointments to see where he stands.

Dr. Fogelman is awesome. His diagnostic skills are superb. He is genuine, calm, considerate and makes me feel at ease and comfortable during our visits. I would be lost without Dr. Fogelman.

I am shocked at reading some of the reviews. I have know this MD for over 15 years. In my professional carrier, working in Mental Health, and now as patient. He has been my physician for over 5 years. I would recommend him to anyone. I believe most people get frustrated with him because he has a very complicated patient base. Sometimes his appointment take much longer than anticipated. I have actually watched parents scream at the office staff because the doctor is running late. He was running late because he working on getting a seriously ill child into the hospital. Dr. F is a kind soul that will work with you. He has never made any rude, inappropriate or off hand comments in front of me. This includes both professional and personal events. Do not believe what has been written. Finding the right psychiatrist is like finding the right pair of shoes. You have to keep trying until you find the right fit.

I see the terrible reviews for Dr. Jay, and these must be coming from patients who wanted dru...s (CitySearch won't let me say the actual word), and he retused to give them to dru.. abusers! My family, including our two kids, have seen him for almost seven years, and none of those scurrilous reviews sound anything like our experience with him. He's done a great job with helping us all. The only negative is that he does run late on occasion because his practice is so busy, but it is their office policy for you to call ahead, and reschedule if he's running late.

My daughter has been seeing him for 3 years becuase the insurance forced us. Every time we go in he has no idea who she is or why she is there. He tries to change her meds even when she is doing fine and needs no change. He is mean and ugly to everyone even his office manager. She finally had enough and left him. I had to argue with him NOT to change my daughters meds and then he still wrote her a script for the new AND the old. He doesn't even know he did it. He is a flake. Do not take you child to him. I have asked around with her therapist and he does not have a good reputation around town even with peers.

This is a doctor who should have never been given a license to practice. He is racial against anyone who does not pay cash or have private insurance, especially medicaid patients, he thinks all medicaid patients are scuzzy people and I have witnessed him saying this. He charges way too much for a visit with a quack. He is very demeaning to his employees in front of other people as well as his wife. He changes a childs medications every month just because, even if the patient is doing great. He takes more pills than the patients, he pulls them out of his pocket every time I am in there, and he takes personal calls about some house he bought during my time. He has been complained about more than a handfull of times and I am surprised he still has a license to practice medicine. He charges way too much for a missed appointment, $250, but when he decides he is going to stay home just because, we as patients are lucky to get a call to reschedule. He has no respect for anyone, not ev... Read more

I have used Dr. Fogelman for 3 different foster children and will not go back. He asks inappropriate questions in front of the children about their removal from their biological families. He takes personal phone calls in the middle of his sessions. Most importantly, however, he does not listen to anything I say or my children say about how they are doing. We have told them that things are going well, yet he continues to change medications to his preferred brand. He is not willing to work with his patients to see if they can be off of meds. In general, he does not appear to be interested in treating foster children.

Having been a patient of Dr. Fogelman for four years, I'm appalled by some of these comments. I have been to five other psychiatrists in my life, starting at the age of 16, and I feel that those psychiatrists are either uninterested, lazy, or simply do not have the skills as a diagnostician as has Dr. Fogelman. People are mistaking abrasiveness for straight-forward talk and recommendations. He won't pull any punches with you and will let you know exactly what he thinks as a professional, so don't expect being "coddled" into wellness. You're not going to get anything unexpected out of him, even if you may not want to hear it. He is the only psychiatrist I have ever worked with who was willing to treat me aggressively and take into account *my* opinion. He is never without a second, third, or nth option if what's being done isn't working. He doesn't give up on patients, ever. In regards to the restriction on his license, I took the liberty of pulling the full records regarding the ca... Read more

this doctor prescribed a med for my son. he had a severe reaction to it. i called over the weekend. he charged me a great deal of money and was no help. i called his neurologist who helped a great deal, did not charge me and helped me all weekend. then i read and the first side effect was exacerbation of one of my son's medical conditions.and hte nerve to charge for his errors and hten not be helpful

This doctor should have his license taken away! He overmedicates and threatens children with being on medication for the rest of their lives! Not only did he tell my child this but another one of my friends child who went to him. He wants to create zombies out of children. He is seriously hurting kids. DON"T GO TO HIM if you care at all about your child!!!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Fogelman to anyone. My brother and I both see him and are happy with the quality care we recieve.

Run away from this joke of a doctor as fast as you can. My son is worse thanks to him. He criticizes people and accuses them of things that he doesn't even know about. He is rude and abrasive and I would not even send my enemies to see this man for help. He is the one that needs help and I cannot believe he is able to practice in the state of Texas. Pick any other doc in Austin - you can't do worse!

I recently read a rude posting regarding Dr. Jay Fogelman. He told me he has been in practice almost 30 years working with children and adults. He knew exactly what was wrong with me in about 45 minutes fo me talking. He knows how to listen when all of the other psychiatrist I have been to did not. He was patient with me when we could not find the correct medication to suit me and I had to call him several times (sometimes on weekneds and at night) to chang my medications. Also, I consider myself to be a very attractive female, and he has never made any untoward gestures towards me, nor has he been unusually interested in my "bedroom" life. I have been his patient for over a year now and plan to continue our professional relationship. At every appointment he offers a handshake before and after the visit, and he always remembers almost everything relevant about me, which I find amazing since I am sure he has hundreds of other patients. I also have to give a big round of applause ... Read more
