Any Dr. Suh (Kaiser) Patients, Got A Question.



Recommended Posts

I have my consult with Dr. Suh on Aug 16th. I am trying to expedite my process, due to my hubbys schedule. So my question is who did you go through for psych eval? The person his office referred me to does not have an appt until the 27th of August. I tried calling preventative medicine case mgr, they NEVER call back. I am kind of walking blind. Any assistance, or suggestions?

I'm with Kaiser and I'm having surgery on Aug 6th with Dr suh......I had my psych eval done thru Kaiser mental health in riverside. Dr suh said it did not matter if u go thru his mft or Kaiser. I know for sure Kaiser has a sooner appt. U just have to get copies of your evaluation to give to Dr suhs office. Mental records are the only records he do not have access to with Kaiser. If u look under a post I started titled damn damn damn...the number for the mental health department is listed there. Good luck!

I have doctor Suh and I used Heaston too. She took my insurance so I only had to pay my copay otherwise she charges $100.

Now I'm just waiting on my sonogram appointment. Trying to get all the appointments and tests within a 30 day period has been very difficult but I'm almost there.

I would call the doctor everyday to see if they have cancellations so you can get in sooner.

In Bakersfield, we have a therapist that does our psyc evaluations during options. They set us up an appt and don't charge us our copay. We get to talk with her for free, and she is wonderful.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
