fill doctors in MA or New ENgland?

July 18, 2005

Hello! I had the surgery on June 2 with Dr Kuri in TJ. You have probably heard it before but he is beyond fantastic. Just went down to get my first fill with him and everything was great. I do want to see if I can find a doctor closer to home for fills though for convenience. Does anyone know of a doctor in MA or New England even that will do fills for Mexican banded patients?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

hmmm i guess not so much... my appointment got cancelled via a voicemail message saying that "something came up" and they would call me back when they had Dr Pecquex scehdule. Well no call for 3 days so I call and then all of the sudden she has changed her policy and will no longer do fills for patients having surgery not in US. Nice, I waited a month and they probably would never even called me back. Now I am back to square one.
