John N. O'Neil Psychologist Ph.D.

Dr O'Neil was a big help to me,helped me realze that wls isn't a quick fix and that I can't continue past trends and keep weight off that wls is just a tool, to get me moving on the right track and that it is my choices to continue like quitting smoking which by the way I did! :) that I need to eat healyhy food's and really restrict junk foods and also that I need to excercise and take care of my body and inner being to be completely healthy.Learning that when I get angry or depressed that I eat to cope and learning alternative ways with dealing with emotions and stress. It took me about 1 year before he thought I was ready and gave Dr Rupp the ok. oh well I'm good to go now!

I was pretty much a blubbering fool and he was very patient and sooo soft spoken. He made me feel so much better. Gave me info about a book to get that really helped me. I didn't feel stupid talking to him. Which is what I thought I would feel like when I first went there.

Dr. O'Neil has been extremely effective for me. He has helped me understand myself and how I think about things in general and food in particular. He has shown me relaxation techniques and help me understand life experiences from different perspectives.

I think this person is only in ti for the money he likes you to have counciling even befor he releases you to have surgery he said I eat due to stree but what person doesn't

Dr. O'Neil was a really great person to meet with. I was nervous at first with him and he explained that I didn't need to be and that he was there to help me to understand about the surgery,etc. He had past experience with patients seeking WLS and is always seeking more information pertaining to the surgery. I think he is a caring individual and cares about you.
