Fills in Greater Washington DC area

Hi there,

Does anyone have any suggestions where I can get my fill done either in DC, Virginia or Maryland with floroscopy?

I got banded in Mexico.

Thank you for your help in advance...

I have no idea if they do Mexico patients but I go to Dr. Robert Pinnar http://www.pinnarsurgical.com. The PA, Paul does the fills and is really great.

I actually had surgery with his son, Dr. Eric Pinnar. Now they have two different practices (they were practicing together when I had my surgery). His website is Synchrony Health :: Home.

Nope, called Dr. Pinnar's office and everyone else in the DC/metro area - I snobbishly thought when I moved back east there would be several providers either thru fill center or locally that would see patients from Mexico - I will save you the trouble and you won't find anyone. Most won't even return my calls.

There is only one fill center provider and I don't know what his/her credentials are that offers flouro in New Jersey but its near impossilbe to get an appointment and it's 4 hours away.

Please keep me posted if you or anyone knows anything different. I am going back to Mexico and would go to a utah doc - dr muse - if he had weekend hours - it's just too hard to get off work and fly out during the week.

My mexico docs will see people on the weekends - still expensive and time consuming but flouro and very good service/lots of experience.

I know that Dr. Kimberly Steele at Johns Hopkins Bayview campus has taken on patients from Mexico in the past. I do not know that she is still doing so, however. But it is worth a phone call.

Good luck!

Jennifer,

Thanks for the referral to Dr. Brinkley. Her office returned my call today and I have an appointment for Feb.6th! I could not believe how fast they were and how quickly they fit me in. Not used to that in this field of medicine!

However, I was so excited that I forgot to ask about insurance. Do know if they take insurance? (I have BC/BS) I called back but got the answering machine, so I left a message but I was just curious if you knew.

Thanks again,

Laura

Hi,

I go to Dr. Brinkley too and she does not take insurance for fills. The fills cost 200.00. She is a very good doctor though and is worth it.

Finally! A fill doctor in D.C. for Mexican Patients

I have been searching for months and months and FINALLY FOUND A LOCAL FILL DOCTOR. I just spoke to Carolyn in his office but he does fills and unfills and has flouro (and is also a surgeon who does lapbands and gastric bypass) - his name is Dr. Marc Rickford and he charges 150.00 and 140.00 (for office visit and flouro).

I'm so excited. I already made plans to go to Mexico but may change that to start with a local doc

That's all the info i have now but pm me if you want to talk further.

Thank you so much for all your help. I heard of Dr. Brinkley but was steering away as I didn't want to do it without floro. Will definitely be calling Dr. Rickford.

Thanks again... Nicole
