Lisa Steres Psychologist Ph.D.

She pinpointed feelings had I had, but couldn't explain. Her recommendations were terrific, and the material she gave me to research my behaviors was right on the money. Thank you Dr. Steres. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you!!!

I have nothing but the highest level of praise for Dr. Steres. I found her to be extremely friendly and very professional in every respect. Dr. Steres was very personable and understanding and informed in the many problems obese people face in today’s society. Her knowledge in the field of psychology and weight loss surgery made it uncomplicated for me to complete the whole process from beginning to end, and I’m very glad that she was there for me. She is very well connected within the team of surgeons, endocrinologists, and support personnel who assisted me through the whole process readily. I highly recommend Dr. Steres to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery.

Dr. Steres is AWESOME. She really understands the problems that come with obesity and is very earnest in wanting to help you do the best you can. She knows the correct questions to ask and listens well. She pick up on things you say in your responses and really helps you bring clarity to your feelings without pressure or making you feel bad. I highly recommend her!!

She is the best!

She made comments to my surgeon that did not help my surgery to go smoothly for follow up.

Definitely a conflict of interest here! She is the psychologist hired by Scripps to evaluate pre-bariatric clients. Problem with her is that she quickly changes from her psychologist role to the nutritionist role and will not okay you for surgery unless you are "eating like you've had the surgery" End quote. Thought the job of the psychologist was to rule out any emotional problems that would not make this surgery an option. WRONG! Just hired by our loving insurance gatekeepers to make sure "you're worthy" of this expensive surgery!
