New Fill Doctor in Eastern Washington



Recommended Posts

Dr. Vivian Moise is going to begin doing fills! Finally an alternative for bandsters living in Eastern Washington! Dr. Moise is in Spokane WA, appointments are being scheduled now for appointments beginning June 1, 2009. Call her office at 509-747-5242 to schedule!:frown:

Yea! Someone suggested that we drive 2 hours to Lewiston, have our appointment, then drive 2 hours back home to "save" money. I think staying home, driving a short distance and having a doctor do my fill makes sense to me.

It is not two hours to Lewiston, it is just under an hour, and I suggested that I didn't care to see Dr. Moise because I didn't care for the treatment she provided before. Driving to Lewiston is not an attempt to save money. It costs the same amount! The nerve... It is about the quality of care.

maestrita,

i am sorry that you feel so threatened! that is not my intention. by all means, continue to drive to lewiston for your excellent quality of care. for most, dr. moise is a superb physician and believe that she goes above and beyond normal care. it is unfortunate that you had a less than satisfying experience with her but i will ask you to stop demonizing her. my suspicion is that your issue is more about you than her, anyway. this anger, for one thing, is not healthy for you. for another, it it never a good idea to trash someone's reputation in a public forum . . .

i wish you continued good health and hope that your drives to lewiston continue to be a source of peace and contentment.

all the best,

ma'lena

You need to get a grip. I don't feel threatened by you. You made a statement on a public forum in which you misrepresented what I said during an earlier conversation. I have not trashed anyone, nor have I demonized anyone. To represent what I said in that manner is not only highly dramatic, it is dishonest. I am not angry, but I do feel a need to correct your misunderstanding that I chose to go elsewhere to save a few dollars. I understand that you are trying to rally up some business for Moise, which is fine, but I won't let it go unaddressed that you've misrepresented what I said here. You may want to review the conversation that took place earlier if you don't clearly remember it. I'd like to point out that I was ASKED why I chose not to see Moise.

I expect excellence from health care providers. For the amount they are compensated, they don't get a second chance with me. Moreover, I will only recommend someone with whom I've had an excellent experience. I don't expect to be misrepresented because I was unable to recommend her in this instance.

Gently suggest what you wish, but I am not angry. You were mistaken, and I hope that I've helped to straighten out your misunderstanding. You seem to think that speaking up for oneself needs to involve anger, and I don't think that needs to be the case. I guess I think I don't need to add unnecessary drama to simple communications. I'm not even sure who you think I would be angry with... a doctor I saw years ago...? an unknown person on a website....?

In any case, this conversation has gone beyond the scope of the intended purpose of the message boards, and I don't feel that it is appropriate to continue. Toward that end, I am now going to use the ignore function. Good luck to you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
