Michael Schwartz Psychologist Ph.D.
I was fortunate to find Dr. Schwartz because my dear friend had an appointment with him she could not keep so in a pinch he allowed me to take her cancelled appointment. Good thing too, because I needed my psych evaluation in a hurry in order to book my operating room time! I met him first on the phone during the appointment switch and I liked him right away. He has a nice comfortable demeanor and a soothing voice that puts you at ease from the beginning. I had my appointment yesterday. Talking to him was very pleasant and he never made me feel he was picking my brain ( even if he was!). He made sure I had an understanding of what I was getting myself into which was good. I plan to follow up with him after my surgery. I think having the support of a good psychologist can only help during the transition between now and after wls.
