Help-I need a lapband fill doctor!

Thank you,Murphles

Have heard nothing but raves about Dr. C That is who I would have do my surgery if my stupid insurance ever decided to cover it. Would even pay the out of network fees to do so.

What part of Ohio are you in?

Cincinnati

Dr. C is my fill Dr..and I couldnt be more thrilled. I think he is actually several peoples fill Dr. from this site.

He is a real doctor??

I'm in the Cleveland area, guess that wouldn't work for you. My doctor is Aviv Ben-Meir at St. Vincent Charity in Cleveland.

LOL...yeah...He is a real live doctor.

Oh okay, I have read some of his answers ...and I thought he was someone pretending to be a doctor. Some of his answers were rather harsh. I guess in person he's nicer.

Dr C actually seems pretty congenial, and his qualifications are not in question.

He's a real life, licensed doctor.

But man if you thought Dr.C was harsh (I honestly don't see it) you would not have been pleased with Dr.P (in Michigan) who also used to take time out and visit this site occasionally.

Actually I've seen Dr C on this web site and other surgery forums (like O.H.) and I thought his answers were clear, concise, and to the point.

I guess I appreciate the docs even taking time to help out patients - considering the overwhelming majority of us are way too far to be considered potential clients. So they have to be doing it because they really think good medical info is important.

Very cool thing for doctors to do. :clap2:

I understand.

He answered a question about a lap band procedure on another thread, and he seemed like he was belittling the person in his answer. (and the comment about being a fill guru-I thought was odd-not to say he isn't--the mannerism didn't fit with his other postings...lol) But then reading typed words that don't have emotion -can lead you to that conclusion. And I was surprised that a doctor would take the time from their schedule to answer questions --lol---that is what made me think he wasn't a doctor -just someone pretending.

I wasn't trying to insult the doctor, I was just curious. I certainly don't want to get any of his patients up in arms either......lol my doc doesn't post here.....so i thought cool a real doc.....and lol then reasonable doubt started creeping in.:cry

I just have to read his posts "differently", that's all.

Ralheit: What was your experience w/SVCH bariatric center? Ben-Meir is my Dr. too, well, when my ins. package gets together and (hopefully)approved. At what point did you get your nutritional eval? I've been inquiring about it w/the staff and no one returns calls/email on it? 95% of my other stuff/tests are done....Pls. advise...

Thank you everyone.

I am from Cleveland and I had my surgery in Mexico. I have no financial issues going back to my great doc-but my schedule has gotton exponentially busier. So I am looking for something simpler. Dr. Curry is great-I have met him. He refers to himself as the "guru", I think, because he has opened his practice to international patients-which I think is cool. I have tried to contact the St. Vincents people and no response. They may have great docs but ......

Cleveland clinic sent me this awful snooty transfer of care note-oh, my god!

Hand me a goddamn needle and a syringe. :-)

Yep,

I can vouch for him, check out my fill pics and you'll see him in person doing my fills and he's very much alive. I really do like him. I got a fill one week ago, just not enough and am going back next week for more. He and his office staff are wonderful.

Yep, he is the fill guru.

I can offically say so as of today! I drove 270 miles to have him do my fill and as far as I'm concerned, worth every mile! My port isn't where my doctor put it and is kind of floating around. The Dr. C found it and filled it with relatively little pain and without xray!

His staff is very nice (some banded themselves) and I felt more comfortable there than any other Dr's office.

Give him a try!
