"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
IIRC though, his whole thing with Claire was that he really saw something, and it freaked his shit right out.
That's my recollection too.
I thought the Lazarus Girl's father was Rose's healer, not Claire's psychic.
Rose's healer was Wayne Pygram, though, and that wasn't Scorpy talking to Eko.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, Rose's healer was Scorpius -- not a chance in the world I'd miss that reappearance!

Who is Scorpius?
A character from FARSCAPE played by Wayne Pygram. Without the Scopry makeup, he looks a bit like Patrick Stewart.
ETA - didn't Hurley go see some psychic in Oz as well?

Also, the healer guy was all the way out in bugfuckville and hard to get an appointment with, and all that stuff. I think Eko and Rose were seeing their mystical people at around the same time, and the surrounding landscape didn't match.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
It was definitely Claire's psychic.

Yes, this. But, since he's an admitted charlatan, there's no reason he couldn't have been faking all of that, knowing it's how he'd get Claire to believe him. He certainly could have been hired by Dharma. Remember, we have only seen him in flashbacks. They would be from Claire's POV. If he fooled her, it makes sense that he would seem authentic to us.
Oh, and per imdb, the character's name is Richard Malkin (actor: Nick Jameson) and yes, was Claire's psychic.

I have to go sit in the I-like-Jack corner, now. It's such a lonely spot.
I'll keep you company. We can pass him back and forth and we won't share with ANYONE.

I don't agree. I have to go sit in the I-like-Jack corner, now. It's such a lonely spot.
I think I'm in the adjacent I-like-to-look-at-Jack corner.
