Speaking Of Imos

[free_spirit_etc]

I know several people had mentioned contacting Dr. Barson about an IMO. I was just wanting to know if anyone had done so - if they have heard from him - and how that is going.

My psych IMO cost $125/hr for the face time examinations and then 4110/hr for report writing and all added up to several thousand dollars.

Don, keep us posted on how Dr. Barson does for you.

Sounds like the folks in Tampa are very lucky to have a former VA shrink writing IMOs for $300. What a blessing.

I, too, am interested if she requires an in person consult or if she will write an IMO based on a records review.

Thanks,

TS Snave

The phone # for Dr. Jill Katarinos, i believe is 813-221-5788..if not just use your phone directory service she is located on North Dale Mabry Highway in Lutz, Fla.[north Tampa]..You'll probably got a voicemail, she will call you back..I told her i was referred by another veteran and left it at that..Much Luck..William N

I followed that link earlier, and found a Forensic Psyc not far from me that will do IMOs.

They carge $150.00 per hour for record review IMOs. He stated that depending on the amount of records, the time varies, he said the average record review IMO was about $450.00.

They charge $150.00 per hour for face to face IMO's in which they review your records and actuall do a Psyc exam and such. He said that this averages about six hours, making the average face to face psyc IMO about $900.00

If I need additional IMOs past what I am obtaining from Dr. Barson, I will definately be calling these guys.

Everyone in need of an IMO should check that link and follow the links to all the cities (depending on the distance youare willing to travel) you might be willing to go to and see whats available. This link covers more than just IMO doctors tho, it had all types of forensic people, computer, crime, ect..

Don,

Sounds good to me.

You may wish to consider the examination.

I am sure it was my going to D.C to meet with Dr. Crowley, personally, for a complete evaluation, which carried the

weight he did with the Judge at the BVA. I also made sure his credentials were the highest.

Of course, they had me fighting for my life.

Your circumstances are different than mine.

Thanks for letting Free and I cut up on your post. We just can't help ourselves sometimes.

Always,
