tina,
the guy in a mental hospital might have more patients, so you might feel like more of a number. on the positive side, there are usually more resources at the hospital. (like, in an emergency, if your doc was unreachable, there'd be another one on call at all hours.)
having one person to sort of 'follow' your case should take the feeling of being anonymous away.
i've found that i prefer smaller, more private places, but that's because i feel at big places if more hands touch you, and one person thinks you have x diagnosis, then the others will stick to that belief and tend to corroborate it -- instead of seeing what's really in front of them.
yet, i would still try the new guy.
