snowie,
i've been seeing a pdoc here in tampa for 2 years. he does both my meds and therapy. i saw dr. zak for a second opinion about my meds & the therapy. he really didn't say much and is not returning my or my current pdocs calls.
dr. david sheehan is very well known nationally and locally, but his brother, dr. michael sheehan, is supposed to be very good as well. dr. m. sheehan is taking new patients, whereas dr. d. sheehan isn't. are you doing the split doctors thing where you see one for therapy and one for meds? dr. zak did tell me that its better to see one doc for both, but he works standard office hours of 8 to 5, so how are you supposed to go to therapy when you have to work and can't always take a 2 hour lunch?
another very good pdoc in tampa is dr. eric kaplan. unfortunately, he's not taking new patients either, but if you called they might be able to tell you when he'll be taking new patients.
send me an email and let me know what you've learned from your meetings with the docs. i too have obsessions without the compulsions and it drives me nuts! sometimes i wish i was a hand washer or counter because it seems to me that it would be easier to control that than to control your thoughts. either way, OCD isn't fun or easy.
take care
