A member asked:
Can psychiatrists disagree on things? and a person may benefit from one doctor more than another?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: I don't always agree with my colleagues & they don't always agree with me. Often - when we discuss this we actually end up with a better outcome. Sometimes - "Two heads are better than one". (: Sometimes one physician may be a better fit for a patient than another. Take care.
