Help! Looking for Psych clearance eval in Orlando
Anyone know who I can get to do the psych eval clearance in Orlando area? I called one that my PCP suggested but they didn't know what they should do. The surgeon just gave me a prescription form with "Psych evaluation, clearance for gastric bypass" written on it.
Any suggestions from the board would be appreciated.

Stephanie,
Thanks for the name of the doctor in Sanford. I live in Longwood and work in Lake Mary so that would be so convenient. Fortunately, I got an appt with a psychologist in Ocala which works out because I have to go there for the mandatory nutrition class that same day. I was curious though, how much did Dr. Thebaud charge for your eval? I nurse said the psych evaluation typically isnt covered by insurance so to be prepared to pay $250. A small price to pay if I am approved but I was curious if that is a typical cost for the evaluation.
