Rick is correct. I too had to sack 4 docs to finally find one that wasn't brainwashed by these pharm companies. It was a long and frustrating experience. If you ask around to some doctors, they usually know the inside scoop about those that treat anxiety disorders almost exclusively.
If you want to go to Pasadena, there's Dr. Shipko on the PDI forum at tAPir (the site I've already mentioned). He has a personal email that you can contact him through.
Believe me, the stupidity with doctors about this subject alone make you wonder about what type of information they're getting and applying to the rest of your body, doesn't it?
Kaiser is something I'm familiar with as I used them 20 years ago and a close relative works for them. Not surprised at their response. You haven't seen a specialist that knows how to use these drugs and that specialises in treating anxiety disorders. Would you go to your internist to have them give you specialised drugs to treat lymphoma or diabetes type I? NO! You go to a damn specialist.
Interviewing by phone some docs that you've been referred to after asking around - good idea.
