Eastern Shore Psych Evals?!?!?!?!?!?!

For all of you on the Eastern Shore......
    the last step in my WLS surgery approval process is the psych eval....... I have numerous suggestions across the bridge, but for me they are all like 2 hour drives........ has anyone had their eval done on the Shore & if so, where?
Any & all suggestions are MUCH welcomed.....

If you go to the one that Cira suggested (*I* gave her the number, btw - lol!!!), you have the added advantage of being right around the corner from my office!!!  Woo-hoo!!  We can have lunch!!!!!  LOL!!!

In all seriousness, there are a couple Shore girls on the board, if they don't chime in, I'll email them for you!!!!!!

Tia.....
    I called yesterday & today as well, however I got no answer & as of yet, no return call.  Do  you know when she is in the office?
    As for lunch, that sounds great! It would be soooo nice to actually meet instead of just seeing a pic & words on here!
    If I could find one on the Shore it would be PERFECT, however, I am open for just about anywhere! The one referred by Dr. Magnesun's office, would not give me an appointment until I saw him, even tho I had a consult with Dr. Schweitzer already...... so I called back yesterday after my appointment, and they are booking for the END OF APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont want to wait that long...... all my other pro-op stuff will be done within the next 2 weeks, and ready to send to the insurance company...... so , NO, I dont wanna wait till the END of April for a psych eval! 
 Hmmm...... did I sound a lil bitter or evil in that sentence?

She will return your call trust me she is good about that.  
All the way to April that is way too long!

Yeah, what Cira said!!!  She will!!! Heck, she's called me when I've been gone too long!!!

You will love her!!!  She even wrote a book about life having had wls!!!!  pssstttt.....i'm in it (whispering!)

My husband and I used Dr. Robert Blatchley in Easton, MD. The office was very accomodating and he was extremely nice.

Sorry Heather, I used the one at Johns Hopkins.  Don't know of any on the Eastern Shore but I'm sure there are options!

Hi

I explained to my surgeon's office that no phsychiatrist would do one for me unless I was an established patient. They allowed me to have it done by a psychologist after I explained what I had gone through and how many psychiatrists offices I contacted.

UPDATE: 
 
   CIRA & TIA RECOMMENDED RANESA McNALLY WHO I CALLED & SHE IS "FITTING ME IN DURING HER LUNCH BREAK" TOMORROW SINCE I WILL BE IN BALTIMORE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!  YEAH!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!
SO  TO WAITING UNTIL APRIL WITH BAYVIEW!!!!!!!

THANKS CIRA & TIA! {{HUGS}}

Ranesa is terrific! I think you will enjoy meeting with her. I am glad all of the stars aligned for you so that you could get this done!
