about those reviews saying he doesn't listen. Listening is key to a good psychiatrist. All they do is prescribe pills, but they need to understand how you are responding to the medication. If they devalue your account of that, they have no way to treat you. I'd find someone else.

The fact is most psychiatrists are bad. I'd use that rating system to find someone better. You're lucky to have access to something like that.
