Re: Pre-op psychological evaluatiuon

[Guest guest]

I had the examination with Dr. Drooker, a psychiatrist at Mount Sinai

Hospital, last Saturday. I, like you, have been trying to get all my

tests done before I see Dr. Herron on October 25. I had a

colonoscopy/endoscopy today. I paid Dr. Drooker two hundred dollars in

cash and spoke with him for approximately 30 minutes. It was not a

difficult experience.

I was once scheduled for the DS by Dr Gagner.. I cancelled it in

favor of having it closer to home. But I was told that I could have

a psych nurse practitioner who is familiar WLS do my eval. You don't

need a psychologist or psychatrist. You just need someone capable of

and licensed to to a psych eval. I do those on a daily basis.
