Another very simple way to locate a new psychiatrist is to simply ask your family doctor who they think is good. Or if you have a good relationship with another doctor such as a surgeon, ask them if they know anybody who is a good Pdoc. I got an excellent referral for a second psychiatrist from a urologist one time.All in all, I think the best traits for a good psychiatrist is someone who really knows the psych drugs. Believe it or not, not all psychiatrists are as adept at their drug knowledge as you'd think they would be. And also someone who is a good listener. Lots of Pdocs are poor listeners, preferring to be in control at all times. If they dont listen well, forget about them.
