Need a fill doctor in Florida

GPrima2 · June 12, 2006

I had a fill doctor, Dr Jesse who recently increased her fills from $200 to $400. This will be my second fill w/o fluro. Has anyone found a reasonable fill doctor for the "Mexican" band in Florida??? Could you also share the cost? This seems to be the most challenging part of being banded!!!!

Hey There! My Name Is Sara, And I Had My Surgery Last Week. I Would Recommend My Doctors In Dade City, Fl. Their Prices Are Very Resonable For Non-patients. Reply If You Want Any More Info

I go to the Cleveland Clinic in Weston FL.

I go to Zephyrhills, FL w/ DR. Grossbard....they charged me $200/fill.....I was not filled in Mexico....but in TN. It was a challenge to find someone it seemed!!!!

There is also Dr. Kim in Orlando w/ FL HOsp but he charges $995 to "join" and that does include one fill.....then I was told $200/fill.

Dr Jawad in Ocala will not take you if you've been banded by anyone else.

God Bless,

I go to the fill center usa in Lake Worth Florida. PM if you want more info

Thanks to all of you for the referrals...I think I will be able to google those that didn't have a link. At least the cost seems to be in the line of what I was quoted from Dr Jesse's office in the beginning. I just can't see paying double when there are good doctors charging reasonable fees.

I need a new fill doc too, since Dr. Jesse has doubles her price. Please send me the info and price for both the Dade City Dr. and the Cleveland Clinic. I live near Daytona Beach, so either one will be around the same distance from me. I was banded in Monterrey, Mexico. Thank you so much...my e-mail is cheldrea1@yahoo.com.

Here are links to the Cleveland Clinic and for Fill Centers, USA. There are phone numbers on each link. Fill Centers, USA gives their prices on the site.

The Cleveland Clinic takes insurance, but I don't know about Fill Centers.

Fill Centers USA does not take insurance for adjustments.

Fill Centers USA does not take insurance for adjustments.

The one that I called does not have a doctor; just a nurse on duty.

She said to give her my insurance company name and that she would call them. I elected to go online and check my insurance company's "In-Network Providers" list. You are right. They were not on it.

I live in the panhandle of florida and have found a physician up here to do it.

judi r · July 7, 2006

Thanks Liz could you give me his name and any info you have such as cost, with or without fluroscope, have you had fill (how much did they give you) do you have restriction? I am approaching my first fill and at this time have no restriction, doing ok but need some help.

Thanks for any info you can supply

Thanks Judi

Hi Judi,

I'm not banded yet, so haven't been there. The doc is Dr. Jeffery Lord in Pensacola, fl. First fill is 350, it includes a consultation. After that 250 (at least that's how I remember it) each time. The nurse I spoke to said they use fluoro each time. I looked him up at the american society of bariatric surgeons, you can find his number there.
