I think I tried his office at least once. I tried Dr. Thases office and spoke with him myself several times but he was either not interested or not taking new patients. It is a little difficult because the pdoc I have now used to be in charge of the entire depression part of that hospital and knows these doctors. I know he is not found of Dr. Kupfer and that his daughter goes to Dr. Thase. I guess I could try again as it has been a couple years. There is one other doctor here that I have interacted with that I think would work well with my needs. He is trying to retire. He had reffered me to a couple of names and offered to advise those doctors for me but neither of them felt comfortable seeing me. I have gone through or been reffered to many doctors at W.P.I.C. to call over the last couple of years and they do not pan out for one reason or another. Usually either they are not taking new patients or most of the time say they are not qualified to treat me.
Thanks for bringing it up again. I guess I could try those three doctors one more time. It is most likely a dead end for me though.
AndrewB suggested reading Dr. Jay Goldstiens books and trying to find a doctor that practices in a similar vein. I am not sure how to find such a doctor? I will look up his name agian on the net and see what I find. I also think his books are going to be over my head.
