I think it is common that alot of MD's won't do the evaluations. I think a lot of them are more comfortable with a specialist doing this. I know my MD is very happy that I have PsyD. He will prescribe but always encourages the me seeing the T. He also had me take my son to PsyD for an ADD evaluation - I think he recognizes that they are experts in the field of Mental Health - I wouldn't question if he sent me a specialist in another field and I don't think mental health is any different. Just my 2 cents.
