Does anyone know if there is a Fill Center in Illinois/Chicago? my insurance doesn't cover them and my doctor only does them under fluro at a cost of $500-$600....and I've heard that there are centers and/or doctors that would do fills for almost half of that....

Thank you,

I went to Dr. Horgan in Chicago a longggggg time ago. I believe he charged around 200. I'm actually tryin to find his number because I lost it and I can't find it on the internet. Maybe you'll have some luck.

I just got back from Synchrony Health. This was the second time I've been there for a band adjustment. I can say that they do a damn good job. I can't say enough to you fellow Chicago area, Eastern Illinois and Western Indiana and Southeast Wisconsin Bandsters that this is the place to go to. As usual,, Dr. Watkins, Karen and Melody and the rest of the staff are the "BEST"!

Give them a call, 630-990-2440

Dr Shayani does fills in Bolingbrook. 630 312-BAND

I made an appt. at Synchrony Health for this Wednesday. The weather might cause me to cancel... but I know I am ready. Thanks for info - they charge $95., a real bargain. I've been on the phone all day trying to find a location closer to me. I might have to opt to pay more if the weather doesn't coorperate, otherwise - I'll pack my patience and reschedule at Synchrony.

I just called Synchrony for information. There is an ititial 500 transfer fee plus 95 for the adjustment. Subsequent adjustments are an additional 95 each. Hmm... If I were here to live and not just for 2 months I would consider it but that's a lot of money!! Will see what my other options are..... dont' want to spend more than 200-250.

Dr Shayani in Bolingbrook, charges $130.00 for fills. NO transfer fees. 630-312-BAND.

I called and Dr. Shayani charges a $500 program fee, then $130 fills after ;( Im only here in Illinois for another 4 weeks... I guess I'll wait until I get back to Texas to see my surgeon. :thumbdown:

He charges a program fee if you had the surgery out of the country. If he is able to communicate with your Dr and they agree that you need care here temporarily, I believe there is no program fee.

When I went for my 1st fill with Dr. Shayani; I was required to pay the $500 initial fee and then a seperate fee for the fills - I mentioned that, because I read in an above quote that you'd need to pay this fee if you had your surgery out of the country... I had mine in Detroit.

This doctor has an awesome bedside manner and provides excellent guidance. I've had several fills with him. The problem for me is that my fills only work a couple of days afterwards. It could be because I tense up during my visits and fill like I can't take in the full amount that he might want to give?

He tells me I need to visit for fills more often than I do. Now I am unable to get an appointment for weeks ~~ I am seeking another fill doctor who has more than one day per week open for fills. If not, I will continue trying to eat smaller amounts until I can get an appt.
