I think Aloha has it right: there are several domains. My own current pdoc would never be on any national list, but I love her because she's been so willing to try any unusual med I've suggested (with documentation, of course). That's what I want.
Psychology Today has a pdoc-rating site, but it was just patient input. It didn't have enough data, IMO.
My experience with one leading university-based depression center (not a student clinic) was not good: I got stuck with a green recruit, not the brain-scanning mad scientists I wanted to be treated by.
Speaking of Boston, McLean Hospital's been on the cutting edge of lots of research.
I recently read that psych patients just starting out should get at least two different consults, no matter how well-recommended the referred doc may be. So if you do come, it might be worth it to get at least 2 evaluations while you're here, if you can afford it.
Does Ivan Goldberg practice? Anybody know?
