Wonderful Doctor

by Joshsmom at Citysearch

I brought my kids to Dr. Fier after hearing great things about him everywhere I turned. He has been the most involved and caring doctor I have ever worked with, and my kids absolutely adore him. He is funny, smart, and very good looking (not that that matters), and has helped our family in many, many ways. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a doctor that will NOT just dope up your kids, but will listen, play, guide, and support. He has helped my children rebuild their self-esteem and be proud of themselves, even with their learning differences.

• Pros: sincere and painfully honest; VERY smart and understanding
• Cons: Does not take insurance, but still worth it!!!

Perfectionist M.D.

by Neuroguym3 at Citysearch

Dr. Fier could quite possibly be the Best Psychiatrist in Atlanta.

He is attentive and meticulous. His knowledge of pharmacology is extremely impressive.

He can water down the most intricate details of a meds uses so that even a two year old can understand.

That's a rare jewel in this designer label physician era. Some physicians today merely wear a finely crafted garment, rely upon the pharmaceutical reps knowledge and courtesies, and seduce patients with their charm and RX pad.

His new office, located in Inman Park, has a really cultured feel and is in a choice locale. The Interior design treatment is walking on a dream.

Latisha, the boss lady(office manager), is equally wonderful as well.

Above all else, Dr. Fier's compassion and empathic chair side manner are extraordinary.

He genuinely accepts his patients as human beings, not just clients or customers.

• Pros: Comprehensive and Menticulous
• Cons: Self-Pay; out-of-pocket

A mircle worker...

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

Dr. Fier gave me my life back. I am a 34 year old female who suffered with debilatating PMS since the age of 13. At the age of 19, I began seeking treatment to no avail. I have tried so many meds, many narcotics, and nothing helped. Dr. Fier's initial treatment plan worked beautifully and I now have my life back and only have to take meds a few days a month and no narcotics. Dr. Fier has been a blessing to my family and myself...I will be eternally greatful for this kind doctor for his wisdom and knowledge.

Awesome

by jmark2 at Citysearch

Dr. Fier is always responsive to me. He's a great listener, but he doesn't just say "and how does that make you feel?" He provides real solutions and strategies. He doesn't rely on another therapist to do the hard part and then just write the prescription in a 5-min. session. He may be running behind on a particular day, but you always know that you will get your full time and more. When you are Dr. Fier's patient, you always come first.

• Pros: Listens, responds
• Cons: Doesn't take insurance

Wonderful doctor

by grateful2behere at Citysearch

Dr. Fier literally saved our family. He listens very carefully and takes copious notes, which he really doesn't need b/c his memory is so amazing. He is willing to consider any possibilities and is always aware of the latest research. This man is our friend as well as our doctor.

• Pros: Truly listens
• Cons: none

Terrible Dr, if you can call him a dr

by DrThatIsShady at Citysearch

This Dr is horrible! He has not helped my niece one bit in ten, TEN years! When my niece asks him questions like "why is my mother mean to me" he said "Cause you are a pain in her butt" which is not professional at all. My sister has been mean to my niece for years and the dr just gangs up and the worst part is over medicating my niece and only giving therapy to my sister when the patient is MY NIECE! He's a quack and makes people think he's good but he's not! How could I like a dr when my niece tells me everytime she hates him (and she doesn't hate many people) and how when she's 18 she will get a new one?

Comedian/Psychiatrist

by DaliaE at Citysearch

I first met Fier when I saw him perform at The Punchline Comedy Club. I knew, once I heard he was a psychiatrist, that I just found my new doctor. It's pretty rare to have a psych that also does stand-up on the side. To me, there's nothing more important than having a shrink that can always make me laugh - even when I feel my worst. I love seeing him on stage -- he's really smart and funny -- and the crowd always loves him. He makes a joke that goes something like "Having a psychiatrist is like paying to have a really good friend...with really good druggs." Even without the druggs, I would so want to have him as my friend. He's the best doctor I've ever had. Period.

• Pros: Funny as Sh**
• Cons: None, as I can see

Don't see anybody else!

by DavidDX at Citysearch

i heard dr fier speak at a seminar about bipolar disorder and i immediately knew he was the doc i needed to see. he's funny, down to earth, and super smart, and he made me feel comfortable the second i met him. he's for sure the best doctor i've ever seen. he doesnt just dish out meds like pez. he really focusses on building a relationship with you and helping you think thru what youre experiencing and why. he's taught me a ton about myself and my illness. i wouldn't see anybody else!

• Pros: makes you laugh even when you feel like sh#$*!!
• Cons: makes you laugh even when you feel like sh#$*!!

The only "normal" psychiatrist I know

by SMercer1 at Citysearch

Psychiatrists tend to be a rather strange bunch, usually with mental health issues of their own that seem to surpass anything you got goin on. When I finally found Dr. Fier, I was way relieved to finally meet a psych that truly seems grounded, solid, stable, and, well...normal!

He is, without question, the best psych I have ever met. He understands my sh*t without my having to spell everything out -- sometimes it's almost freaky how good he gets it. He takes a ginormous amount of time with me when I need it. I never feel like just a number in his office. He is very kind and sensitive and real. I believe he really hurts when I am hurting. He never tells me what to do, but talks me thru the different options and ideas, waying out the pros and cons of each. He has helped several of my friends thru major life and relationship struggles; each one still talks about how much he helped them and how they miss him. I do not think you will find a better doctor than him.

• Pros: Actually seems normal
• Cons: Married (I think)

Insightful and Compassionate

by GM234 at Citysearch

Dr. Fier is the most insightful and compassionate doctor I have ever seen. He spends a great deal of time trying to understand who I am, rather than just sticking me with a label and a pill. He is a deeply spiritual guy with a very cool perspective on the meaning of suffering and the importance of coming to understand one's purpose. He doesn't do any of the psychobabble stuff; he's just straight up/lays it out there and lets you process it. He'll call you out if you're not being real. I really value that no-nonsense approach. He doesn't do insurance anymore, so it can get a bit expensive after a while; on the other hand, he often spends over an hour with me and has never charged me for a phone call, even when I know he should have. I feel like he is incredibly sincere, down-to-earth, and deeply invested in his patients.
