Dr. Maria Cartegena and Dr. Maria Nickolova Offer Assessment Services

Avalon Centers’ medical directors are offering immediate access for assessments for candidates for gastric bypass surgery. Because there are emotional components to this very important decision, a psychiatric evaluation is often recommended prior to surgery. It is important that patients have the clear understanding and realistic expectations about the surgery and its outcomes. Calling Avalon Centers at (716) 839-0999 will facilitate psychiatric consultation appointments.
