Need a doctor on the Eastside

I had my surgery with a doctor that was in Tacoma. He's since moved and I'm looking for a doctor that will do follow ups in the Kirkland area. Any suggestions?

Bumping for you in case someone has an idea. I go up to Everett for fills although I'm also on the Eastside.

I think there's a fill center in Burien or Fed Way, which isn't too far for something like this.

Or maybe you found someone already?

My Dr. is in Federal Way which makes going to appointments a bear, since I'm on the eastside too. However starting this month every Friday he's in Kirkland for fills and appointments which is super exciting for me.

I am not sure what his policy is of doing fills on people he didn't perform the surgery on, I am thinking he doesn't do that, but it wouldn't hurt to call and check. His info is on my signature.

I'm in Newcastle and drive to Arlington for my fills. The gals there are so great!!!

Would any of you eastside bandsters want to get together for a coffee/tea sometime. Make our own little In-Town support group?

Peace,

Maggie

Maureen,

Why did you hate it?

I, too, needed an unfil on Friday - I had to go to my Nurse's home since she was not working on Friday. It took a little over an hour to get there, but was worth it. It was urgent that I got an unfil - I was having a hard time keep my saliva down.... I go to the Arlington Pharmacy to get my fills - the ladies there are great.

Where in Newcastle do you live? Would you like to meet for coffee, since we both live in Newcastle?

Peace,

Maggie
