Hi! I was just wondering about the fills that Spiegel gives. Is he the one that gives it or the nurse? An does he do it under the "fluro" thing that everyone talks about?

Just wondering....

Hi Paula,

I had a fill last Monday. Dr. Spiegel does and is required to do the fills himself. I had no problems and very little pain. And, it is done with out the "floro thing". I don't think there is one in the office but it would have to be done at the hospital.

And, a tip, bring your own Water, there's isn't so good.

Hope to see you soon!!
