Do I HAVE to see the shrink my surgeon prefers? Can he refuse to do my surgery if I don't?

My surgeon requires that I use the psychologist that he recommends, why can't I use the one I did before? I had to have a psych evaluation to get insurance approval. Now my Dr. wants another one done by his recommended psychologist who is very expensive. My insurance will not pay for another evaluation. I passed the first evaluation and don't feel I should be forced to use his psychologist. Can he refuse my surgery if I don't see his person?
