Mark Rusch Psychologist MD

didn't like this guy either, asked too many questions about things not pertaining to the surgery or the hospital

I told him a lot of fears I have of being thin and how I was not willing to go on another "diet" cuz I end up beating myself up and gaining from it; that I was eating healthier and had not gained in a year. I wanted him to know that I was not going into this blindly. I was aware of my fears. He took this as me needing to see a couselor and lose 20 lbs before he would release me. He was willing to talk to me by phone on occasion, which was very nice.

I personally did not care for Dr. Rusch. I thought that he judged on way too little information. For my post op care I will defintely choose a different doctor!

I found Dr. Rusch to be very professional. He has a very thorough protocol he follows for gastric bypass patients and it takes a good hour and a half to get through all of it. He talked to me for at least 45 minutes and he had me fill out a 13 page questionaire after our interview.

I went in there soooo nervous, he was very easy to talk to, a nice man and seemed to know his stuff very well.
