Insurance approved me, but I need a psych evaluation now

The surgeon needs a psych evaluation done and referred me to a Dr. Crowe here in Minnesota. Unfortunately, he is not a member of Health Partners. So, my insurancfe recommended two psychiatrists to go to. One, couldn't get me in until AFTER my surgery date, so that's a no go. The other one can get me in 13 days before my surgery date. So I'm going with that one. His name is John Nelson, and is in St. Louis Park, MN. I'm worried that this psychiatrist won't be a wls friendly doctor. Could he ruin my chances? My insurance doesn't require the psych eval, just the surgeon does. Has anyone heard of this doctor? How do these psych eval's go? Any points anyone can give me would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
