Hey I jusy moved to south florida anyone know of any good bariatrics centers?

I don't know much about the doctor or the pricing but I will be attending the information lecture next Tuesday at Jupiter Medical Center with Dr. Jefferson Vaughan.

I had my surgery done at JFK Medical Center in Palm Beach County, FL, by Dr. Andrew Larson. My insurance paid 80%, and I know they have financing for self pays. So far, I am happy with the doctor and the staff. Had surgery July 9th, and my first fill August 18th.

Wow congrats on your new band and good luck. Do you by anychance have their number , address or a web site so I can research?

How much did it cost for your surgery in Florida?

Hi my doc is dr vaughn in jupiter he's the best...I went to larson for fills but its so crowded in there and I hate waiting in the office

I have never waited more than 15 minutes at Dr. Larson's office. I love Kendra, who I believe is the Nurse Manager, and Patricia, Dr. Simon's nurse (Simon does the gastric bypass and assists Larson with the bands and Larson assists Simon, so you have 2 surgeons working on you.)

I guess we all just have different experiences. For me, the bottom line is this: There are only a handfull of doctors doing this in Palm Beach County, and I have heard mostly good things about all of them. For me, it was a matter of insurance, and I am much closer to JFK if I have a problem than I am to Jupiter.
