Betty Bakke Psychologist Ph.D. LP
I think Bette Bakke is amazing. I had so many issues and worries going into the surgery process. she was able to find my issues (even ones that I didn't know about!) and help me to discuss them. The visited me post op in the hospital, and also found out that what I thought was pain was really anxiety, and she helped me to breathe and work through it. Without her, my surgery may not have been successful, and I wouldn't be as stable and happy as I am today!
Dr. Bakke is the absolute best, She just started doing Psych evals for Shapiro in October. She specializes with bariatric surgeries. She originally comes from Fargo where I guess they have a big bariatric center and knows what people should expect. She is straight forward, but so easy to talk to and kind. Would highly recommend her to anyone. I even told her I was very nervous about having to see a psych doctor and by the time we sat down and finished introductions I felt very at ease and thought this is not bad. Definetely A-1 material.
