Looking for a fill doctor in the Phoenix area. Getting banded in Mexico. Some threads are really old, that is why I am starting this one.

Thanks,

George

Just type is Az for a list of Doctors

Dr Stevenson, true results scottsdale

So seriously, is anyone in the Phoenix area doing self pay? This is getting ridiculous. One doctor, Dr, Stevenson, wanted $260 just to be seen and $200 for a fill. The other, at WLIA is a $500 fee and $200+ a fill. Are you kidding me. It would be cheaper to go back to Mexico for Christ sake.

I used Dr Stevenson too. Great people at True Results Scottsdale.

Hope you find somewhere acceptable.

Wishin you good.

With the ridiculous fees these doctors want, they can ALL kiss my ass! I'm going back to Mexico.

I was wondering the same thing. Banded in Mexico (Ortiz) and wanted to see what the cost would be to get filled here. If those prices are correct I'll be heading back down there soon.

At least I get a few days off and a trip out of Phoenix! Only hassle I've ever had is getting back across the border into the states. Standing in line sucks!

Please let me know if you find anyone cheaper!

julie <<Mexico bound!

Cheapest I found here, in Phoenix, was $250 a fill. Still not sure if I am going to go back to Mexico or get it here.

Hey I got my 3rd fill here in Phx. Shoot me an email and I'll share what info I found with you.

I decided to go with Dr. Terry Simpson. Great guy...

It is expensive for fills anywhere you go. Thank goodness for insurance. I haven't had a fill in over a year. I have a 10cc band & have 7.5cc in it. I hope it works out for you.

First fill was Friday and it was $250. He put 1cc into my 4cc band and might as well have put nothing in it. No restriction, hungry after a few hours and can eat the same amount I did before I was banded.
