I was wondering if anyone uses Dr. Wilkenfeld in The Woodlands? I was banded by Dr. Spivak, but my 1 year of free fills is coming up so I'm looking to switch to an office that is closer. (I live in Sterling Ridge) I have verified with their office that they do take transfers but would really like to hear from folks that go to that office for fills about their experience. Are the nurses good? The office staff? Do the nurses do fills or the Drs.? (I'm fine with the nurses doing it) Can you get in and out quickly/easily? Any feedback you can give is greatly appreciated! Or if anyone knows of other Drs. in The Woodlands that take transfer patients I would love to get that info. Perhaps at Memorial Hermann, etc. Thanks much! -Rachel
