Does anyone know of a good fill doctor in Southern California that will accept a Mexico banded patient?

I found one in San Bernardino, but he does blind fills <yikes!> and I'm terrified that my band will be poked in the wrong place! I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

My advice... due to the cost and since your so close... go to mexico and make a mini vacation for the weekend!!!

Were are you in So Cal? Dr Martinez in Dr Ortiz office in TJ is awesome. They do it on Saturday's so you could go in the am and do Seaworld or Zoo>

I'm in San Diego County. My first fill is 5/14. I will be going back to Tijuana. Several people like to take a $5 cab ride to Revolution, shop, etc. Also the Dentist I use there does the laser whitening for around $180.

Isa, if you live in San Diego

Tiajuana has some good band doctors who will do fills on patients banded anywhere.

Dr. Kuri Dr. Ortiz are both very experienced and have a good reputation with their patients on fills. There are several other Dr.'s in TJ, it is just a matter of finding the one who is best for you. Good Luck

Dr. Helmuth Billy in Ventura. Honest, fair, informative, dependable, flexible, and not too hard on the eyes.

Isa if you prefer not to go to Tj here is a list I got from Inamed with all of the Dr's in So cal, I do not know if they take patients banded in Mexico but you can call and ask.

MIchelle: You left Billy off the list. That looks like the list I got from Lopez when I asked for doctors he recommends.

I use Dr. Helmuth Billy in Ventura, CA. He is awesome.

Sorry Penni, did not mean to I just cut and pasted the list I have on file, maybe this list is outdated. I got this list from Inamed well before I was banded when I was researching the band almost 2 years ago and I know it goes by distance from my zip code, maybe Dr. Billy was out of the 100 mile range. Please add his name, addres and number to the list for future reference for other patients.
