I don't disagree with you. I came across that list before; checked up on the psychiatrists listed in my area-one had a curriculum vitae over 25 pages long...the other I don't even want to mention.
The best psychiatrist I found in my city? Not one published article. (Maybe he did some research in the 60s or 70s but nothing online).
I found the psychiatric community in my city seem to know of one another's competency, reputation, assets through word of mouth...through both colleagues and patients, and that referrals are the Best way to find the Best of the Best...as opposed to lists, which may (or may not) have political connotations involved. There may be less subjectiveness involved when referrals represent a consensus of reputation within the local community.
