I have gone YEARS without seeing a pdoc. Both because there were none in my small town and because of insurance problems. I found a good gp or internist will prescribe psych meds as long as you appear to be somewhat stable.
Learn all you can from current pdoc. You really need to know about and understand your meds and why you are taking them. Check out who is on your insurance at the new location. Do searches on them to see where they trained, if board certified, etc. and complaints against them.
Ask both T's you are checking out to give recommendations for pdocs. Check them out. Know that the first pdoc you see might not be a good fit.
