I've seen the same pdoc for 9 1/2 years. He knows me pretty well, and we do discuss meds and what to do and he really does take my opinions and feelings into account. Sometimes he makes assumptions that aren't valid, but usually I can tell him that they aren't valid and we go from there. He's very available to me - like it's fine with him if I schedule an appointment with him while my therapist is on vacation (even if we would go longer if my therapist wasn't going on vacation).
He used to schedule 3 patients/hour, but now he's doing 4. So he is more rushed. But he does check on what I'm working on in therapy. And I know that if I had an emergency that I could see him and he would take care of me.
