Quote From: mustbecrazyThe NAMI website is www.nami.org The website has a way for you to find a local chapter of NAMI in your town, or nearby. There should be a contact name, so you can contact somebody from the local chapter and get their suggestions on how to find a new doctor. I'll take a look at the website and see...it's been awhile since I've visited there...

I went to www.nami.org to check it out...they have changed their website since the last time I was there...it is much easier to navigate now.
On the home page, click on "find support". It will bring up a US map. Just click on Colorado, and it will bring up the chapters in the major cities of Colorado...there are 11. It says that if your town isnt' listed on the website, contact the state chapter, and they can direct you to the chapter closest to your home. The Colorado state NAMI chapter number is 1-888-566-6264.
Just tell them that you are new to Colorado, and that you are having trouble finding a pdoc who is taking new patients...maybe they can pull a few strings to get you in somewhere...or at least they might have a list of who IS taking new patients...good luck...let me know how it goes...
I'm falling asleep as I type...time for bed...Becky
