Fill Doctors in Florida?

[Bamagal 1]

Hi All,

Have some updated info for you on Dr. Wizman in Pompano Beach/Margate.

If you have been banded by another Dr. he charges $730 for the first fill under fluoro not $300. There is a $500 "program fee" (whatever that is) plus a charge of $230 for the hospital.

Every fill thereafter (which would not be under fluoro I might add) would be $150.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass. First of all, I only have my fills done under fluoro, and secondly at that price, it's still cheaper for me to travel elsewhere.

Still looking........any other info on Dr.'s in South Florida who are in the $200 - $300 range would be great!

Thanks again :smile:!

I personally use Dr.Wizeman myself and was banded in May in Tj,Mexico and he did not charge me that ,so either he is overloaded in patients or this info is wrong.I will be going for my second fill on Wednesday I will ask him then.I paid $75.00 for office visits $75.00 for office fill and $225.00 for fills under fluoro.

Hi Bamgal,

I would very much appreciate it if you would ask him about this. I got this information from his office manager just today, when I called to book an appointment.

I'm willing to pay $300, but not $730.

Thanks!

I have used the Fill Center in Moultrie since I was banded in July 07. I was banded in Mexico. Her name is Darlene Zebley, she also does fills more frequently in her office in Atlanta. She is wonderful, very good at what she does. It can get a little expensive with the fluoro, but she's worth it. She never misses!

Dr. Paul Wizman in Margate, FL - Coral Springs area - (954) 969-1355 2960 N St Rd 7 Suite 102, Margate, Fl across from Hospital Talk to Kim and she will give you the details..I really liked him my first fill was 5/28/08. I have anotehr one set for 9/17/08.

First consult $75, then if all is well he may fill in the office it would be $150 total..if the first one he feels he needs to do fluoro he will use the hospital and that total charge would be $230..

Then at the office each one there after is $150..

Forgot to mention I was banded in Mexico and he will do them..bring your Dr. Report and Xrays and most likely he will go it the first time in his office if he can see/feel the see/feel the port. No pain...

Does anyone know if you have to have the annual plan at fillcenters usa or can you just pay as you go? I really do not want to have to put out over 1400.00 after self paying for my surgery. After hearing all the wonderful comments about The st pete fill center I have decided to go there for my first fill. Thanks!

Like the gentleman said, I have heard it from frends who go there..you can get plan and even finance it...Great idea..I jsut wish they had one near me..

Good Morning - I am also going to use them - and Saint Pete due to the fact they have the flouro machine and it makes it alot easier when you get you fill - please let me know - I am also in FL Cape Canaveral and am also self pay - I went to Mexico - are there any other fillplaces other than Fills USA - stay in touch please - it is nice to talk to others in FL - All my best - Amy

No other fill centers that I know Amy...I did not need flouro as the doctor looked at the xrays and saw excatly what he needed to do..I would think any good doc could do that..Dr. Wizman in Coral Springs is the best I know of within 2 hours of Vero Beach, Fl. He is $150 per fill for the last two I had. I wish they did have a center here or closer but they do not..Maybe I should open one...I thought of that.

I have used him twice and with the paperwork and xrays from Mexico he did not need flouro and I paid $150 each time..I am very pleased.

I am not in any local support groups but check on-line. If you have some ideas I am open. I am losing my beautful long hair and that is killing me...each day is a horror. I am heading to the salon to buy come Nioxin today for a treatment...I had surgery 3/28/08 with Dr. Rod in Juarez..he was great. Brenda
