I used to look forward to them where I used to live, I had a wonderful pdoc I liked and trusted very much. This one, at a specialty Bipolar Clinic, only goes through a checklist and we don't get much of a chance to just talk. She's nice, but distant. I certainly think she's very competent and has been good about successfully adjusting anxiety meds.
So, in short, no I don't look forward to them, but they're better than nothing. I wish she were warmer and we could talk more and veer away from the d*** checklist!
