Richmond, Va pdoc recommendations please I am having trouble getting in to the pdoc recommended by gfg's tdoc. Sadly, he is not taking new patients. I have a phone call in to "a local children's treatment center" but have not yet been able to speak to a human.
Those of you who have experience with pediatric psychiatrists in my area please feel free to pm me with your thoughts. Thanks!
When I did a computer search dh's moronic pdoc showed up.
I wouldn't take my gfg rabbit to see that bozo. Yes, we really do have a gfg rabbit.

Hey Perry,
Do you need a pdoc or would a tdoc do? Gfg has had a fabulous tdoc he's been with since he was 4 (11 years now) and I would recommend her very, very highly. She is very well respected in the profession and in the local school systems. She attended gfg's very first IEP meeting to review test results and make recommendations. She's wonderful!
He also has a pdoc he has been seeing for about 7 years and he is good too but we've never actually done therapy with him. He really does the meds -- most of gfg's testing was done with the fabulous pdoc, who specializes in boys, and she has a great list of pdocs.......
My numbers are the same, if you still have them give me a ring. If not, pm me and give me yours and I'll give you a ring.

Just saw your other post down at the bottom of the forum page....he needs the pdoc. Touch base and I can pass on pdoc's info.
By the way, gfg had a complete assessment at the place you are waiting to hear from the summer before he started middle school. At the time, I was concerned there might be some emerging mood disorder issues and I waited an additional few weeks (in addition to the "regular") so that he could see the division chair (who I believe is also the head of the department at the medical school). She was wonderful! It would be great if you could see her (I'm sure she's listed on the website, Dr. S**d).
