Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I can see how that would be not the best experience. I actually currently am at a mental health clinic that is part of a hospital like that and see a resident, but it's a little different I think because I was already seeing the main pdoc first. So, he knows me really well even if the residents switch and I feel comfortable that he will help with the decision process. I don't know if I would feel the same if I started over somewhere new, though. Something to consider for sure.
