Hi Shelli,
I think all of us with treatment resistent illness can relate to your frustration! Anyway, I know a wonderful pdoc who is knowledgeable and incredibly nice. Her name is Julia Temple and she is located in Princeton, NJ. I've never been to a nicer pdoc. It's amazing that she is so nice and yet such a talented psychopharmacologist. She also returns your calls within the same day and your emergency calls within minutes and knows exactly how to deal with those situations. However, I'm not sure she is quite the caliber of pdoc that would justify flying in from another state to see. Nonetheless, I highly recommend her if you are anywhere close!
I'm currently seeing Dr. Michael Liebowitz in NYC who is that caliber of pdoc. His specialty is anxiety disorders. You may want to try Dr. Donald Klein in NYC who's specialty is depression. When seeing a pdoc who is the "best", though, they are usually very capable of treating a diagnosis that is not their specialty. Here is a link to a list compiled by Dr. Ivan Goldberg of the best doctors in the USA that may be useful:

Good Luck,
