I've seen 2 different pdocs, and they are so different from each other!

The one I've seen the most is pretty stoic most of the time and he expresses very little interest or emotion in things that aren't directly related to your mood and meds. He's asked about school (in the regular adult way), and that's really about it. He's also just very to the point. I would honestly wait longer to see him than I would spend in his office. If I was lucky it would be a 5 minute wait to see him and a 5-10 minute appointment, but usually it would be a 15-20 minute wait fora 5-10 minute appointment.

The one I'm seeing now (and saw when I spent a semester at home) is completely different. She'll spend time talking with you and getting to know you and is also very interested in what you want out of treatment not just what she thinks is best. For example, today we spent a good 15 minutes talking about my ED which is something that I never even told my other pdoc about, mainly because at that point in time I was still denying it, but also because if it wasn't a symptom of what he had diagnosed, it didn't matter to him.

I'm so glad I switched. I was planning on switching anyway since my old pdoc had been getting on my nerves for the past few months. It's just strange to me that there's such a huge difference.

What's your pdoc like?
