Posted Date: 10/3/2024
To evaluate and help patients prepare for bariatric surgery, Dr. Brode joins bariatric surgeons Dr. Mustapha Daouadi and Dr. Emanuel Mejias on the Mon Health Bariatrics team as a psychologist to evaluate patients and help prepare them for bariatric surgery.
Dr. Brode received her Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Additionally, Dr. Brode completed an adult clinical postdoctoral fellowship at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania, and a postdoctoral fellowship in bariatric surgery at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
“I genuinely appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to make and maintain the changes necessary to succeed before and after metabolic bariatric surgery,” said Dr. Brode. “As part of the Mon Health Bariatrics team, I look forward to working with you to maximize your strengths, achieve your goals, and improve your overall health and wellness.”
Dr. Brode will provide psychological assessments throughout the care process for patients receiving bariatric surgery. These assessments are used to guide the bariatric care team in the patient’s care before and after surgery to ensure both successful treatment and long-term weight loss.
“We are thrilled to introduce Dr. Cassie S. Brode, to the Mon Health Medical Center team. Dr. Brode joins us with a rich background in bariatric surgery and behavioral health, equipped with invaluable expertise in guiding patients through the psychological and emotional hurdles of weight loss surgery,” said Dr. Mustapha Daouadi, Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery. “Dr. Brode will strengthen our pre-and post-operative care and personalized nutrition and lifestyle counseling. This integration of psychological assessments with bariatric treatment will further improve the success rates of our patients, helping them achieve sustainable weight loss and long-term health improvements. We are confident that Dr. Brode will enrich our program with a more comprehensive, patient-centric approach to bariatric care, furthering our commitment to excellence.”
