That's awful. I'm sorry you're having to deal with what sounds like some rather unsupportive and impersonal doctors. I feel like I've been fortunate in the doctors I've had. Although that hasn't stopped me from seeking another opinion on the MG diagnosis and treatment options, especially after the surgeon referral I received from my neuro that I was less than pleased with. I never actually went to see the surgeon, but based on the history I found on the local medical board, I didn't think I should waste my time.

Anyways, maybe try checking out http://www.healthgrades.com . It's not foolproof, but at least it's a place to start, beyond asking your friends, family, coworkers, etc. Maybe you could also contact the Myasthenia Foundation and see if they have any suggestions on doctors in your area that they could recommend.

And can I also say that I totally empathize with your comment about taking the psychiatrist referral. I was "fighting" with my insurance company about approving an MRI (which I found out later didn't require approval...argh!) and on their telephone prompts asked if my inquiry was for medical, dental or mental. I was very tempted to select mental after having to deal with them.

Good luck and hope you can find some doctors that you like and feel are giving you the appropriate respect and treatments.
