Has anyone been seen by Dr. Bryant? I have tried to find more info on her or about her but have come up short. I know she is recommended here on thinnertimes but have yet to see anyones comments about her or recommend her. If any info please contact me or you can e-mail me at dede26619@aol.com. I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks,

I don't care for her. She just likes to talk and stuff.. doesn't really know how to listen. But that is just my opinion. That is why I don't go to the early support any longer..

Ditto to what Christine said. I avoid the early support group because she gets on my nerves and likes to hear herself talk.....just my opinion.

I have never heard of her, so I don't have an opinion, but who is she? Why is she at the Early Support group meetings? What is her affiliation with this group?

Thanks,

Traci

There is San Diego Psych Centers located in the same building as Dr. C and on the same floor just opposite side. I only had to pay my regular co-pay. Dr. Bryant wanted $250.00 for her assessment. Call SDPC.

Smile Dr Bryant

She does the early post op meeting.... C'mon guys you have to admit in the BEGINNING she was helpful. I think as we meet more people and learn about stuff as the days pass, we get more knowledge the less helpful the pre op support group had become. I highly recommend it for early post ops, within the first 3 months, it was extremely helpful. I told Dr Callery when I was about 5 months out that they were gonna have to shut the door on me to stop me from coming....... but now I feel as though I have outgrown that service...... sometimes the talks in there can appear to be long winded and stuff..... but like I said I just think as we gain more knowledge, the less helpful the group therapy gets.

If you would like to locate Dr Bryant, call Dr Callery's office and ask for a number to contact her, she is in private practice in North County I believe.

Default Dr Bryant

I paid $250.00 to see her and it took her 2 weeks to send my letter of recommendation to Dr. Callery. Personally, I was not impressed. She tried to tell me that I don't need to worry about myself and to worry more about my 3 kids. Well, I hate to tell her that she doesn't know me by talking to me for 30 minutes and the fact is that I did this surgery to improve my life with my kids. I can play with them now and life is so much better.
