Telehealth across MD, D.C., DE, FL & CO Evening and weekend availability

Pre-surgical behavioral health

Bariatric psychological evaluations

Structured behavioral-health assessment for adults preparing for bariatric surgery, when appropriate for telehealth and program requirements.

Preparation—not judgment

The evaluation supports safety, readiness, and long-term success.

The assessment may review mental health, eating patterns, substance use, understanding of the procedure, expectations, social support, coping, adherence, and readiness for postoperative lifestyle changes.

Get started

What to expect

Clinical interview

We discuss psychiatric history, current symptoms, treatment, health behaviors, and support systems.

Program requirements

Your surgical program’s forms and evaluation expectations should be provided before scheduling.

Clear recommendations

The report may identify strengths, concerns, or recommended supports before or after surgery.

Individualized care

Recommendations begin with clinical fit.

Scheduling an evaluation does not guarantee surgical clearance. Additional treatment, records, testing, or coordination may be recommended, and some programs require in-person or specially credentialed evaluators.
