Our team offers bariatric counseling and pre-surgery required clearances for clients considering weight-loss surgery. Emerald Isle Counseling partners with bariatric surgeons to not only assist the client in completing all preoperative requirements but to aid in best possible outcomes. Whether you are a patient or a provider we are proud to aid during this journey.
