My first would call me back, or he would fit me on on his lunch. He was always good about that. My other pdoc would say he would call you back and sometimes it would take days or weeks, or I would have to keep calling him. In his case I got my therapist to call him for me, and he would promptly get in touch with her. My T was great about advocating for me.

Regular doctors here are very hesitant to touch your meds if they know you have a psychiatrist. So seeing them was never really much help. I don't pay since I am in Canada, but the first pdoc was a private practice, and the second was not. I don't know if that was the difference, but their overall personalities were much different too.

Seems pretty awful to me that you can not get in any sooner, or not even a call back. Sometimes this can be sorted even over the phone. If you cannot get the help when you need it seems to defeat the purpose of going I think.

How is he overall when you do see him?
