Psychiatrist for Bipolar Recommendation?
Hi! Helping my friend with bipolar find a good psychiatrist.
Her current psychiatrist is alright, but she definitely needs someone GOOD who can help figure out her meds situation.
She has Blue Shield of California insurance, but will consider going to someone who doesn’t accept insurance if they’re really good.
You're welcome to DM me for the sake of privacy :)
Thanks soooo much

I highly recommend Dr David Atkins. I know a number of friends/family who have treated with him (including multiple of them for bipolar), I see him myself, and I’ve shared his name around to others who are searching For an excellent psychiatrist. He’s extremely knowledgeable especially about medication. He’s kind and compassionate, great bedside manner. I’m very picky about doctors and about mental health treatment in particular, and Dr Atkins meets and exceeds my high expectations. He does accept insurance but I don’t know which ones in particular he’s in network for.
Best wishes for your friend!
