Feedback on Drs. in The Woodlands

[rachelb123 0]

I was wondering if anyone uses Dr. Wilkenfeld in The Woodlands? I was banded by Dr. Spivak, but my 1 year of free fills is coming up so I'm looking to switch to an office that is closer. (I live in Sterling Ridge) I have verified with their office that they do take transfers but would really like to hear from folks that go to that office for fills about their experience. Are the nurses good? The office staff? Do the nurses do fills or the Drs.? (I'm fine with the nurses doing it) Can you get in and out quickly/easily? Any feedback you can give is greatly appreciated! Or if anyone knows of other Drs. in The Woodlands that take transfer patients I would love to get that info. Perhaps at Memorial Hermann, etc. Thanks much! -Rachel

I was hoping someone using Dr. Wilkenfield would answer your post yesterday. Since no one did, I thought you might want to try calling my doctor. His name is Dr. Collier. He has an office in the Woodlands and in Conroe. I really like him. He has been doing lap band for quite some time and he and his staff have great patient care skills. Also, his nutiritionist is really cool.

I'm also a patient of Dr. Richard Collier and he is wonderful, I'd suggest you call his office if you haven't done so, but I don't know if they take outside patients. Dr. Collier offers fills free for life so I don't know. You might also call JourneyLite and ask them, that is where I get my fills but they have many surgeons so it's worth a try. Good luck!:huh2:

Hey Rachel, I am pretty much a newby, but I go to Dr. Wilkenfeld in the Woodlands, in fact he just moved to his new office off of 1-45 and 242 in the strip center with Charming Charllie, the nurses are great, his wife Tina, is a hugh help, she knows and answers everything that you need to know, she also is a retired nurse. They just got there fluroscopy machine, but, it is not hooked up yet mainly cause they just moved into there new location. I went in today for my second fill an the doctor does it, in my opinion I think that they all are super people. I have no complaints, everyone of them are very caring people.

Thanks everyone for your responses! I'm going to check them both out! P.S. We have a group that meets once/mo at the Starbucks at Panther Creek. We're meeting again on the 14th at 10:00am if you're interested. I'll let you know what I decide! -Rachel
