I'm going to be going to graduate school in Davis, California and would like recommendations on good psychiatrists. The school health plan is very limited, lots of onerous terms about previously existing conditions not being covered for the first 6 months etc. I'm probably going to have to pay out of pocket. The school shrink may be fine, but I want to be prepared. Also, I know that they always refer longer-term cases out. I also have a hard time trusting Student mental health services. (Dr. Bob aside, of course) So, I'd like to have some names in mind.
In a therapist and/or psychiatrist I want someone who is intelligent and open-minded. Someone might be a very good counselor for a lot of people, but if I think the person is stupid--or rather that I'm a million times smarter, then I won't trust the therapist.An ideal pdoc would be up on the literature and willing to explain his or her treatment recommendations and their in a way that isn't condescending. Even better would be a doctor who explained the clinical decisions, and if tehre was research supporting a course of action, I'd hope that the doctor would provide me with a photocopy.
I may need an endocrinologist. If I do, I'd like one who would be open to working with a pdoc.
Thanks,
Abby

Abby,
If you were a little closer to the SF Bay Area I could give you the name of a real good pdoc, but I'm afraid that would be too much of a long haul for you. I do believe that Sacramento has a Physician's referal service (for pdocs also) that also covers the Davis area. You might try getting ahold of a Sac phone book to check. Wish I could be of more help. Please keep us advised on how it's going.Hugs,
Greg

> GregIt's true that it's probably too far, but if I was desperate, I'd feel better having a name. Who are you thinking of in the Bay area?
Thanks,

Abby,
I apologize for not responding sooner, I didn't notice your post last night. I'd be glad to send you the info but it will have to wait until I get home this afternoon as my phone book is at the house. Also, if you don't mind, I'd like to send the info to your e-mail address as I'm not sure if the doc would approve of my posting her name and address here. Is that ok? LMK. Once again, I'm sorry for taking so long on this.
Greg
