Docs in Oregon to do a fill?



Recommended Posts

I have scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Mirande in KFalls. He has conistently answered all the emails I have sent him and provided me with great information. His office staff have been terrific to talk to on the phone.

I attended a seminar in Bend with Dr. Archer, was not terribly impressed, and they seemed to have a lot of hoops to jump through with no guarantee that the would accept you as a patient, expecially if your surgery was not done in the states.

I will let you know about my visit to Dr. Mirande after I see him.

Hey there--- I was on another chat line and someone said they were going to a fill doctor in Milwaukie--which is really close to Portland. She is Dr. Kelly Fitzpatrick and she does fills--although she does not do them with the flouroscopy. Her web page is here--in case any one is interested. Also, if you've gone to her let us know how she is--I have not gone but am interested after I get banded!

I have an appointment with Dr. Fitzpatrick next Friday, at her Portand office. She also has an office in Eugene or Salem, I can't remember which. I was banded in MX by Dr. Ortiz and got her name from his office. The only problem I have already noticed is that when we (DH and I were both banded at the same time) tried to move up our fill appointment cause we can both eat A LOT, she wasn't going to be in that office for 2 weeks, I suppose she could have gone on vacation? Anyway, I'll let everyone know how it goes next week.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
