Refill in Michigan????

N75# · October 3, 2006

Does anyone know a Dr. in Michigan who will do refills?

Contact Don mills at inamed. He will email you a list of Dr.s who may do fills. Then start calling them all Some Dr.s will not do fills on patients who were banded outside the U.S..The ones who do will charge alot more then if you were there patient. Good Luck

That is the problem I am having, since I had it put in outside of the U.S.

Thanks

Dr.Mark Pleatman in Bloomfield Hills,MI. does fills for Pts. banded outside of the U.S. I have had two fills total, he did both of them. His office staff are great, he's very nice and very professional. (I wish I had him place my band!!)

I am looking into Dr. Pleatman as well. He now has a package price on banding including 2 years followup for $12,500. I was going to go to Mexico because Dr. Rambaut has a lot more experience (Pleatman 300+, Rumbaut 1500+) and some people had some negative things to say about Dr. Pleatman on the internet. He does not use fluoro in his fillls, I don't think, which is a negative. Just not that many to choose from in SE Michigan, unfortunately. But being able to recover in Michigan is tempting...Anyone else had a band inserted by Dr. Pleatman?

Isn't there a doc in ann arbor that will do fills?

Not that I know of. One in Ypsi, doesn't do fluoro either "because we've never had any overfills." After reading all the folks who have had overfills, makes me wonder....

I don't have the answer for you, however I can give the name of my doctor. Dr. Zoe Deol in Sterling Heights (she's a Beaumont Dr.) - I will be banded 10/23, you could call her office and check that out.
