Considering Spivak, but live near San Antonio

[Randi 0]

I'm considering Dr. Spivak for my lapband surgeon. But considering that I'm 3 hours from Houston, I forsee a problem with fill/unfills. If you have already had surgery with Dr. Spivak and are in the same predicament, please share with me what you're doing to meet follow-up care requirements with Dr. Spivak.

If you live in San Antonio I can recommend a Great surgeron there.

I personally have not used him yet. But I have researched him and spoken to him on the phone a few times personally , I am also in contact with him via email. . Spoken to some of his patients. He takes great care in personal contact with his patients.

If your private pay his price is resonable from what I see from others. So Dont want to push where its not wanted but i'll be happy to give you his name if your wanting to stay in San Antonio .

Colton,

Who is the surgeon, which bariatric group is he/she assigned to, how many lapbands has the surgeon implanted, and what is the price for a self-pay patient?

Here is his info . Its Dr Jorge Rincon.

The price for self pay is $12,000 which includes a year of aftercare.

Hope that helps

Thanks, Mindy. I've already done some preliminary research on Dr. Rincon. If I'm not mistaken, he recently left the Wish Center for private practice. Other than that, I don't know much about him. Why do you think he's so great?
