at least if you make appts together it is less driving. I had a 
friend who was a psychiatrist and she felt like she needed to talk 
with someone herself and confided in me that she did not really like 
the person she was seeing. I said well how many did you interview 
before you settled on that person and she said it never occurred to 
her to interview more than one. It's pretty easy to tell from a brief 
interview by how responsive and open they are to some questions 
whether or not it's a good fit. It can also educate the doctor and 
one question might be how willing are they to look for reasons other 
than the cp for medical problems that come up explaining that altho 
cp is serious it is not the only reason for seeing a doc or the only 
cause of symptoms.
