Dr. Juergens is indeed a fine physician. And for people with Chemical Dependency issues along with other mental health concerns, it can be extremely important to work with a psychiatrist who is also an addiction medicine specialist.
My own psychiatrist, Dr. Melson, worked closely with him for many years at Virginia Mason, where they led and built the behavioral health department. Dr. Juergens was also medical director of the Chemical Dependency Treatment program I attended, and gave weekly lectures. Many of my friends in treatment were under his care.
The bad news is that it is quite difficult to get with him. He is in high demand. Just as an idea -- it may be beneficial to have a referral from your therapist or other physician.
