GREATFUL 24 Posted June 4, 2007 I'm in Tn too. Middle Tn. You? I get banned on Wednesday in Murfreesboro! We have two great doctors in Murfreesboro. Eckles and Westmoreland out of MTMC.org We have a great support group too! I Second THAT!!! I am from Middle TN also. Dr. Eckles banded me on May 2nd. He is great and I just love his staff. They went to bat for me with the insurance company, followed-up and stayed on top of it until I got my approval. Just cant say enough good things about them.

ckbw 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Hi, What is Dr. Westmorland and Echles Number? I live in Crossville and that would be closer than Nashville. How much do they charge. I would be self pay. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrangler054 0 Posted June 5, 2007 I am self pay as well. This is what I came up with. Centennial Hospital , Nashville TennCost: 14,400.00 this does not include fills WWW.CMCWLS.COM I hope this will help you and we are well worth the money. So now I am on my way to being banned !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in Nashville and have my doctor's appointment with Dr. Olsen at Centennial this Thursday June 8. I am also a self pay because my insurance won't pay for it. The cost above is exact and when you self pay, Dr. Olsen cut 15% off of his fee. The cost of the sugery does not include his office consultation $230.00 and the cost of the psychologist they send you to before the surger. I think the psychologist is $290 or $390. I am excited. From what I've read/heard of Dr. Olsen is that he cares for his patients yet he is a strict Dr and will tell you how things are even if you don't want to hear it. This is the type of Dr. I need.
