Anyone know a good Children's psychiatric doctor in southern maryland? I would really like a doctor that specializes in Children. Any reviews or recommendations on Doctors would be great! thanks!
that isn't true. my psychiatrist is one to say if it isn't broke don't fix it. Some like to push multiple pills (12 or so a day). mine only has me on 2 different meds I take and they help me a lot and I only take 4 total in a day.

Someone I highly recommend....especially if/when you are walking in the door concerned about medication issues right off the bat.

Good Luck on your search! I hear Debra Nelson is Great and it is Very Hard to get into so I'm guesing that's because she is so good. Her number is 410-414-5953. Also try Home : Choices they are pretty helpful as far as advocating and finding the resources that you need, then there's Barstow Acres-410-414-9901 and the IHIP program 410-535-4787.
Ms. Nelson is excellent. My daughter is a patient. She has late hours (until 8 or 9) most nights, off Friday, and has Saturday hours. She is in the new medical building in PF.
If you do go the physicitrist route, stay away from Dr. Saleh in PF. He prescribed Abilify to my then 14 yo daughter. Perhaps he didn't know it then, but the commercials on tv now say not for use in young patients. I ended up committing her to Sheppard Pratt for a short time.
Good luck to you in finding someone to treat your child.
This may not be relevant to you -- but Calvert (County) Memorial Hospital has an excellent 2-week, adolescent day-treatment program addressing social anxiety/ peer self-esteem issues. They will even provide round-trip daily bus pick-up at your door anywhere in the 3 counties. paid by insurance.
