I will be moving to Florida in the fall, and leaving my surgeon behind :frown:. I noticed that there is a Fill Center USA within 15 miles of our new home, and wondered if anyone had experience with them, good or bad.

Thanks!

I have never heard of band fill centers, are they cheaper than md office visits

I'm not sure about the cost...although I had heard that they will not file for insurance coverage. I'm looking into it because I am relocating away from my surgeon, and getting a fill doctor is not always easy.

I had my first fill at FillCenterUSA, Denver NC.

I only had a three questions and he answered them before I could ask and almost all in the same sentance.

It was $349 for the first visit and $165 for the next. I spoke at length w/ Charlotte, FillCenter, after speaking w/ a few more before her. She was great. The others didn't seem to have the experience as Charolotte.

I asked if there was a customer service record for the MD...sure enough. He had a 4.7 out of 5. I would rate him a 5.

Now this was my first visit...the fill was a breeze. I hear they can get tougher.

BTW, a local MD ageed to see me....$350 a pop and not w/ an xray either.

Also, the FillCenter MD said using a fluro wasn't necessary. Has anyone ever been told that.

I have used the fill center in NOrthern California through the fill center and was happy with them. I also dealt with Charolette and like her alot . Same as reported before 365 for the first fill and 165 after. No problems and I liked the fill doctor they sent me to............

I do not regret it but it has not been an easy road. I would do it again though. Good luck!
