Fills at Dr. Office or hospital???

I am just curious if most of you get fills at the surgeons office, or somewhere else. I see a nutritionist at the hospital where I had my surgery done and the nurse told me if I go there for fills I would get my first 4 free! Sounds good to me, and my Dr. said it was OK, I am just nervous to get my first fill there instead if with my surgeon. Any thoughts?

I have my fills performed at an obesity clinic at the hospital where my surgery was performed. This works out great. It's right across the street from the surgeons office and I think he's on the same computer system as the clinic so he has access to my records.

Also, as long as my fills are performed at the clinic they are free forever, up to 5 per calendar year. Couldn't ask for anything more.

I have my fills at the bariatric center where my doctor works. I get 1 year of fills for free. If you can get 4 for free, I'd go for it. I assume the doctor knows the nutritionist offers that. If the doctor charges for fills he/she shouldn't be surprised when people start going to the nutritionist.
