Not in a romantic manner of course.

He is tolerable, to the point and keeps you on target. Good for me who loves to ramble and get off subject.

I do. He is a great friend, ,makes himself available to me 24/7 even when he is out of the country on holidays and encourages me in everything that I do. He really cares about my well-being and encourages me in my work too. He has also seen and helped each one of my children without charge once my money ran out. He no longer charges me at all. He gets me to review books for him to recommend to other patients which of course gives me the opportunity to read them free which is the reason he does it really! we discuss poetry and music and food and have conversations about the latest developments in treatments and meds on a regular basis. I am very lucky to have him. Ans his wife is a lovely person! He is about 78yrs old so there is nothing even remotely romantic going on. He is a wonderful human being and he and I relate very well together. pure luck.

Oh I do love my pdoc! He is one of a kind, I tend to get lost along my way, many times, and he has always got me back on the right track again.

been with mine 12 years and doin great only prob is getting an appt with her, but that is the VA for you.

Me.

Mine is pretty cool and treats me best when I am open with her. No mater how strange I can get.

Don't hold back its a negative for your recovery.

I truly love my pdoc to death. He is always available to me 24/7. He talks to me almost as much as my tdoc and seems to really care how I am doing and what is going on in my life. The last time I went to see him when our session was over I was in tears and he gave me a hug, just a quick one, and told me he would be praying for me. I appreciated this because he knows I believe in God and pray myself. In fact, I go to see him today and I am feeling so much better I know it will make him smile and he will be happy for me. He's the best.

Love my pdoc. He is very knowledgeable about meds and bipolar in general. He listens to me and my suggestions on meds. He is always happy and I love that.

I luv my doc too , he always hugs me and kisses me on the cheek ( he's 80 years old and I'm 22 ) he's been my savior .

I love my pdoc.
I've been with him coming up on 11 years .

He has seen me through some pretty tough times..

He is also my therapist, he knows more about me than anyone else....and he still likes me !

I do!! She believes in me and that is the best I could ask for.

I go to the community clinic and have to see who ever is available.
It changes all the time. I have never felt cared about by any of them.
I can only imagine what it must be like to have a regular doctor who
cares. Available 24/7? I can't even get through to anyone on the phone
at the clinic I go to, it goes straight to voice mail. If I have an emergency
I am told to go to the ER. No I don't love my assortment of doctors

I hardly ever see my doctor. Maybe once every two or three months. She's nice and helpful. I haven't had any med changes or reasons to call her, but I don't think she is available more than two days a week.

Actually, I had an appointment with her on Monday and I missed it because public transportation messed up. (I don't have a car). I couldn't get another appointment until Dec. 9.

My pdoc is very overbooked...she's at a community mental health center, though. She always tells me she's proud of me. Which is nice. And she was kind enough to fax my medications in to the pharmacy on Monday when I missed my appointment.

Love? No...but she's a pretty good one...especially since I've had a lot worse.

Mine is very nice and very supportive, and I like that she lets me have a lot of input into my treatment.

I had one guy for 10 years though, he was the bomb, had a very understated sense of humor and was seemed genuinely interested in me.

He moved to the VA and I was very sad. But I know the vets are getting excellent care!
