[quote=Anonymous]I started seeing a psychiatrist in Arlington who works in the same practice as my old therapist. His bedside manner is pretty awful. I've seen him three times and each time before I even sit down he asks me "Do you see anyone else in this practice?".  I answer him and then the next time he doesn't seem to remember he already asked me this.  It's always the first question.  Today he seemed irritated before I even sat down, was talking in an argumentative tone even though I was not arguing with him.  He cut me off multiple times and when I asked him to please explain how a certain med option might work he told me he "didn't want to get into that". I was only in his office for 5 minutes so I don't see what the huge rush was.

In any case, my therapist did say that some experienced him as a bit "gruff".  I think I gave it a fair shot- three sessions.  Also I think I need another opinion on med options.  I live in Fairfax so I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation? Someone with a lot of experience and hopefully a little more time to give?
