I was wondering for those of you out there...who does your fills?....and do some of you maybe not even know the type of credentialing or training that this person has?? Also, does anyone assist them/come in the room with them when they are doing the fills? If so, who is this person...and how do you know they are "medically trained" and should even be present during the procedure?

This is multiple choice...please check all that apply to your situation!

Thanks!

My surgeon does mine.

my surgeon does my fills under flouroscope and it's going well

I did mine.

Hello, I am getting ready for my surgery in Mexico and am now finding that most doctors here won't do fills for Mexico patients. I went to www.fillcentersusa.com but their closest location is about 4 hours away. I also found out that the Surgical Weight Loss Center in Tacoma will do them but at $400 a fill!!! Does anyone know of a location in Western Washington that does fills for Mexico patients at a lower price than that?? Thanks!!

All of my fills have been done by doctors. I might trust a nurse practitioner or a physician's assistant to do a fill, but no one else.

My husband, a certified Physician Assistant, did my last fill and will do any and all that I need in the future.

Damn, that's convenient!!! Lucky you.

My surgeon does my fills and the RN is always there...okay by always, i mean the two times I've had a fill/unfill. But as I understand it, Dr. Hess will always be the one to do the actual fills.
