selecting a psychiatrist | ADHD Information

Share

why is the school "forcing" you to do this?

you could also do a net search (type in your city, state, "psychiatrist" and any other search terms that might help narrow it down).  many specialists have web sites.

you could ask your health plan provider for a recommendation.

Does anyone have tips on selecting a child psych? None of the referrals that I got from my pediatrician or CHADD are on my insurance plan. So I've been looking on my insurance plan for the schools they graduated from, the license, and the certification. I figured that I want a psychiatry license, with a board certification in child psychiatry, graduating from a high-profile school? I've got a neuro-psyche report already, but the school is still breathing down my neck. I think I need an MD.
