That sounds great! I am glad that works for you. It sounds like you are doing very well. Congratulations.

Ultrasound guidance is by far the safest way to go these days. At WLIAZ the doctor uses it and it always goes smoothly and quickly. I think that you should talk to the doctors there.

I might be interested in going to one of your lunches. Could you send me an e-mail when you go?

Did you have any luck with finding a place for your fills? WLIAZ does a great job on their fills. 480-829-6100

Hey there. I guess this is an old post but I wanted to see how you were doing. Did you decide to go forward with the procedure?

You'll find that nobody really likes working on patients that come from other doctors. It's too much of a risk. In Arizona, I think that WLIAZ is what I would recommend. Their number is: 480-829-6100 There is another place that does them but I couldn't recommend them at all.

At WLIAZ they have an ultrasound machine that the doctor uses to find your port easily. They use the new, small ports over there and they have people in and out quickly. Also, they tend to do fewer fills than most because they are so precise. I know that people think that fluro is the way to go but I think that advice is way out of date because it can't be done any better or safer than at WLIAZ.
