There are precendents, such as the Top Thyroid Doctors Directory. http://thyroid.about.com/cs/doctors/a/topdocs.htm
I found a doctor through this site and he got me in touch with a good sleep doctor in Austin. By the way his name is John Hudson. He takes most insurance but its' a long wait to get an appointment.
I don't quite understand the concern about legal issues that some people mentioned. To assuage these concerns, maybe the section could be limited to "recommended" psychiatrists, those with whom we've had good experiences. As with the about.com board, phyiscians/therapists could have their name removed at their request or they could make comments such as "not accepting new patients."
Dr Bob, I feel a doctor/therapist section could advance e-therapy that you discuss on your homepage. I hope you will consider these suggestions.
warm regards ~Jake
