Lisa, I was originally referred to my pdoc by my "gatekeeper" general MD, who is an internist. Since then, I found out I could have gone to him directly, through a contracted-out mental health provision of my insurance. He offers med management and psychotherapy and is a truly wonderful human being. I just wish I could see him more often! He is so in demand that he is booked solid for a month at a time. He has really helped me a lot!--Cindy W
