Jeffrey Litzinger, MD

Our LMFT highly recommended Dr. Litzinger. We very much value his opinion, so we weren’t surprised at how incredible he was today, when we met him!
He spent a great amount of time with me and gave me a medication plan. I’ve never had a dr invest this much. Super excited to feel great again!

Absolutely fab Psychiatrist. Totally worth the drive from wherever you are. You know if you are difficult to treat a good doc is hard to find in this field! :)

Great doctor and really listens to what is going on. I don’t give him 5 stars because of the office staff. They are extremely rude, make you feel like a burden anytime you call or come up to the window, I’ve been hung up on and they have also messed up my appointments numerous times. Not the type of people to have at a doctors office! They make me want to find a new doctor because it’s a hassle anytime I need to speak with them.

I’ve been going to the doc for quite a few years now. I switched from dr. Corman same office. Dr Corman belittles and makes you feel like you have a problem whatever your individual case is you’re what’s wrong. I love Dr. Litzinger he’s great understands his patients. He relates to his patients through personal life experiences. He isn’t about pushing pills down your throat and calling it cool. I’ve even needed a recommendation for a friend and he gave me a list of several different doctors for that specific issue. Also the only reason why I didn’t give my friend him was it was too far to travel.
Ps only problem I’ve had is the clerical office staff are rude as $h!t. I ask them to deliver a note to my doctor. They said he doesn’t call back patients hrmmm. Funny when you become stern with them and tell them you didn’t ask what they think just do the favor. He does call back. my only problem with this office period. My only question was could I get a med check up it takes about 15 mins to do this. Keep in mind. I just needed a refill of my medication. Otherwise I’m waiting a week at least to get a refill of something I need.

I was having an issue with medication, and my doctor recommended I see Dr. Litzinger. My first meeting with him was good, and he was attentive and knowledgable. He recommended I take a genetic test to help troubleshoot the medication issue I was having, which I did.
A few hours after I left his office I got a call and was told I had to drive back and fill out a piece of paperwork that was needed to submit the test to the company, which I did.
Two weeks later I returned for my follow up appointment and was told the test was lost, and I had to take it again. I was told I would get a phone call in three to five working days with the results. I waited two weeks. I called four times and left messages for him which were not returned.
The fifth time I called, the office manager told me the test was lost again, and that I needed to come in a third time to take it, which I did. I was told I would get a phone call in three to five working days with the results.
That was several months ago.
While this was all happening, the issues that led me to see him in the first time were getting progressively worse, and so eventually I had to seek help elsewhere.
The result was a lot of wasted time, time taken off work, and a bill for a test that I never received the results or benefits of.

He has ADHD worse than I do! And… he admits it!
He had trouble concentrating on what I was saying. He had sooooo much trouble that I had to see him for three separate one hour intake appointments! He kept going off the rails and talking about unimportant things that had nothing to do with my appointment!
Example:
His wife called during my appointment on his cell phone. He took the call during my appointment and billed me for that time. Not cool. His wife is a real ball buster and he whined to me about his wife. Unprofessional!
He told me about my military days and his life story. He billed me for that time. I was wondering, um, is this a confessional time for you and not an intake appointment for me? What is going on here?
He got to unload his personal problems onto me like I am his neighborhood bartender and I paid him for that time. I felt like his therapist instead of his patient.
He gave me paper tests for ADHD and said, yes, you have ADHD. He wanted me to do computer testing. My insurance doesn’t cover it. He told me UNLESS I pay cash and spend approximately $ 1,400 and it could be more… he would NOT refill my ADHD meds.
I left. I felt pressured to spend money on tests that I could not afford. I explained I am on a fixed income (Disability). He didn’t care. Pay up or get out.
I feel he is all about money. I didn’t get the impression that he really did actually care about me as a person. I felt he was only acting like he cares to get my money. He spent an inordinate amount of time talking to me about money. It was distasteful.
The office staff is RUDE, RUDE, RUDE and even Dr. Litzinger warned me they forget to return calls so you must call back again and again and again and are rude. He told me they are like that and he did not lie. The staffers are terrible and frustrating.
The office is chaotic, mismanaged, lots of missed messages, lots of miscommunication and I wasted a lot of time calling again and again for a simple issue. It is a huge time waster to be on the phone with them constantly and they have no record of the last six times I called.
I felt PRESSURED to drop a lot of money in the office. It felt like I was speaking to a used car salesman instead of a doctor. Strange experience. It all felt cheesy and sordid. I felt slimed.
He is a terrible doctor. Because HE has ADHD my medical bill was tripled because he can’t pay attention. I don’t think that is fair.

Dr. Litzinger is amazing! He works with children and teens and really advocates for them beyond just a quick medical diagnosis. My younger son has had quite a difficult couple of teenage years and we went to Dr. Litzinger not knowing what was going on. The doctor did a lot of listening and ordered some lab work before giving a diagnosis. He doesn’t hesitate to change things up as the child matures. If you have problems with a school helping your child, he will be your child’s «protector.» Your child/​teen will come first. He deals with all issues from depression/​anxiety/​ADHD and conduct problems. I hesitated to write this because he does tend to be very busy and I don’t want him to have a zillion new patients (increasing our wait time) but he deserves the praise.
