Hey Canucks,

Just wondering if anyone that was getting surgery has since gotten a fill with Dr. Mitchell yet? I haven't met him and was just wondering if anyone has anything to say about him and how their fill went. Thanks.

I'm surprised no one's answered you. I thought there were people who have had a fill with him here.

I went to Calgary for my first and only fill, but it was while Dr. Cobourn was there, so he did it. Dr. Mitchell and all the others that Dr. Cobourn was training were there watching it. Dr. Mitchell has done them before, so he wasn't 'learning' exactly.

I spoke to a girl once who had kind of an ordeal getting her fill with Dr. Mitchell... he tried like 10 times, and still couldn't find the port. So they gave up and she was sent to the hospital to get it done there (with flouro, I believe). He still made her pay the $100 for it though, even though he didn't do it.

That being said, I know that *I* would still give him a try, and I likely would have already, but I'm in the process of moving to NB, so I don't have the time or money to make another trip to Calgary right now.

There are 3 other Dr's now, I believe that *can* do fills, but from the sounds of it, Dr. Mitchell is the most experienced, so he would be the best bet.

Hope that helps.

This is a pretty old thread,but I just wanted to recomend Dr.Mitchel. I've seen him about 4 times now. Both him and his staff are friendly, caring, and attentive to my concerns.

How much does Dr. Mitchell charge for fills??

Thanks!

Highly recommend Dr. Mitchell. Sorry don't know the cost as mine is covered.

Dr. Mitchell charges $150 per fill/visit. I agree with the above poster and highly recommend him as well. He's fantastic. I have a very tipped port which we're holding off on correcting til I'm a little closer to my goal but he never misses it.
