Question! Dr. Fiallo!

I have question about support groups. I saw Dr. Fiallo yesterday for my consultation. He said that I was a good candidate and I needed to go to a nutritionist and phsychologist. H enever said anything about support groups. Someone in the waiting room mentioned that you need to go to two support group meetings. Is this true? Did everyone else have to do this? Also, does anyone know of a good nutritionist and or phsychologist in western Mass? Thanks!

Hi, Dr. Fiallo has a nutritionist in his office. Her name is Polly. I can give you her phone # itis 587-5060 she works both out of his office and a Easthampton office. you do need 2 support group meetings at least!!!!!!!!! the more you go to the more you learn. The support groups are held Monday March 13th, MArch 27th, April 10th and April 24th. They are held at the Best Western on Riverdale Rd in West Springfield.
