> Thank You.I think it depends on your diagnosis and what kind of treatment you're looking for, but here are links to the psychiatry departments of Jefferson University Hospital and Penn.

Most of the so-called "top docs" don't see patients, but they'll refer you. Stephen Zavodnick, M.D., Harry Zall, M.D., and Alan Gruenberg, M.D. (Bryn Mawr) are excellent psychopharmacologists.

Any recommendations would be appreciated -- for good psychiatrists or psychopharmacologists in the Harrisburg, PA area. (especially those skilled in treatment-resistant, med-sensitive folks like me :-)
Thanks in advance,
cindy

If you can make it down to Chambersburg (45 min. drive), James D. Hegarty, M.D. is worth the trip. Ask to see him personally. He was trained by Ross Baldessarini, M.D.
His homepage is: http://home.epix.net/~jhegarty/index.htm
Take care,
Blue

> Sue --Hi Sue,
I live on the other end of the state and don't know much about Pittsburgh-area psychiatrists. The University of Pittsburgh Dept. of Psychiatry (WPIC, Stanley Center, STEP-BD regional site) is outstanding and one of the leading recipients of research funding. Drs. Michael E. Thase, David Kupfer, Allan Mallinger and Roy Chengappa are some of the "name" psychiatrists there, but except for Dr. Thase (super for affective disorders), I doubt if they're seeing patients. A good idea is to call the Dept. of Psychiatry and ask for a consultation or referral. Another way is to phone or e-mail the psychiatrist yourself. "Name" psychiatrists will refer, or consult and then refer, or if you're lucky they'll be accepting new patients. Dr. Thase is accepting new patients, and he's *got* to be one of the best anywhere. I don't know if it's permissible to post his e-mail and office phone, but you'll find it at AMA Physican Select: http://www.ama-assn.org/aps/amahg.htm
Search by specialty (psychiatry) and enter Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, and 15213 for zip code. (If you don't enter the zip code to narrow down the search, too many names will appear and it won't them at all.) You'll see Dr. Thase pop up with his info. Also, Dr. Chengappa is very nice and answers his email.
Personally, I don't like university clinics and prefer well-trained private practice psychiatrists who might be affiliated with the university -- or at least are up-to-date.Good luck,
Blue

Blue --
Sorry you are so far away -- looked Dr. T up and he is both neurology and psychiatry fits my bill to a 'T' :-)! This would enable me to keep my eating disorder therapist and she is excellent but dump the psychiatrists who leave more than a bit to be desired.
Stay in touch.
Sue

Re:Drs.Zavodnick, Zall, & Gruenberg
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and DO NOT recommend Harry Zall, MD. He has erred aggregiously with several of my clients.
The best psychopharmacologist, to whom I refer all my clients is Steven Zavodnick. He is brilliant, user friendly, and has a wonderful demeanor. Alan Gruenberg is also excellent, however one needs to be affluent to see him.
