On a scale of 1 to 10, what would you rate your current psychiatrist, where 10 is amazing and 1 is horrible? (Consider knowledge of BP, meds, etc.)

I would say mine is an 8. He is very knowledgeable about meds and seems to know what he's doing. He has a fun personality, too. He would be a 10 if he was easier to get in contact with. I have to go through his nurse every time I want or need something, and well... I consider her to be rather inept and lazy. I know that not everybody can talk to their pdocs outside of an appt, but my pdoc is in the same office as my previous pdoc and I was able to talk to that guy in person when needed. Same with my previous therapists and current therapists. This new nurse lady makes gaffes all the time.
