Judith Anderson Psychologist PhD
I was afraid to go to this appointment at first but I am glad I did. Judy was great and so was her assistant Jackie. They were able to get me in for a visit within 2 days! Jackie called me to confirm and seemed genuinely happy to have me come into the office. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Although the office was full they never rushed me while I filled out the paperwork or when I asked questions.
Judy is a great listener! She knows what she is talking about and understands what it is like to battle a weight problem. She made me feel extremely comfortable and assured me that all of the paperwork, time and problems would be worth it in the end. She even asked me to let her know when my surgery date was set so she could check up on me. :) Both she and Jackie told me to make sure to come back in after the surgery so they could see the progress I was making.
I would recommend going to see Judy not only to anyone who needed to do the psychological consult for the surgery but, for anyone who just needs to talk. She was great. I am planning on seeing her again.
I went to Dr. Anderson because she is on my health plan and she is a woman. She was able to see me right away and was very sensitive and understanding. She had me run through some tests and fill in a questionaire that the insurance companies require. She understands the difficulties of weight and new how to phrase everything for the insurance companies. When she told me what she was going to say it was right on. Though she told me I didn't need to come back I asked if I could when the weight was coming off and I needed someone to talk to about it. I really liked her.
