Surgical and Fertility Evaluations

Psychological assessment can be used as a pre-surgical tool to help physicians determine the readiness of patients to undergo certain procedures. This type of assessment is useful for individuals needing spinal cord stimulators, spine surgery, or in any case in which a patient's psychological preparedness for surgery or his/her ability to cope during recovery is a concern.

In addition to pre-surgical evaluations, we offer assessment specifically designed to assess psychological and emotional functioning in potential oocyte (egg) donors, surrogates, gestational carriers, and prospective parents involved in fertility procedures. Determinations and recommendations are made using criteria from The American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
