Norman Pointer Psychologist

I don't feel comfortable judging how well Dr Pointer knew his field by one visit. I will say that for myself, I was very pleased with him. He has a very calming manner and easy to talk to. He was knowledgeable of WLS patients, their options and their struggles.

You will automatically notice him because he wears a bow-tie and has a small gold looped earing in his left ear. When I met him he was very polite, and seemed like a friendly person. He listened to what i had to say. He didn't make me feel inferior to him, because he had a degree and was a doctor. He got to the point, and I was done. I promie it took less than 5 minutes with me. I was like 'THAT'S IT!" In my head I'm thinking...."I can't believe I was so nervous about this!"
He explained that insurance companies know that many overweight people already have some mental problems especially with things like depression. After the surgery some people become depressed. So, they dont want Dr's to make things worse, by giving you the surgery. I actually think it makes since. Dr. Pointer made it seem like we were just having sipmle conversation.

I would recommend him 100%

OH yea, he seen me on time too! I didn't have to wait like I probably would have with someone else. The office staff are very nice also.
