Conducting Presurgical Evaluations for Pain Related Interventions and Bariatric Surgery

We provide efficient, effective assessments as well as comprehensive psychological assessments to help physicians:

• Assess psychopathology to support effective treatment planning



• Assess for the presence of depression, anxiety and somatization—the factors most frequently associated with chronic pain



• Evaluate the patient’s emotional readiness for surgery



• Assess for malingering to determine the likelihood of whether the individual will benefit from surgery



• Measure the cognitive status of patients with psychiatric manifestations of neurological diseases



• Gather information on the patient’s coping style and perceived stressors that may be affecting his or her medical condition



• Identify psychological and psychosocial factors that may affect the patient’s course of recovery
