Psychologist/Psychiatrist

A patient and his family members may find it helpful to talk about their feelings with a professional before and after surgery. Frank discussion may help cope with the transplant experience and with the changes it will make in a transplant patient's life. The psychologist or psychiatrist can offer insight and support along every step of the way.
