Looking for a good band doctor in the Dayton/Wright Patt area

[aculberg 0]

We will be moving to the Dayton area, Centerville to be specific, in June and I'm looking for a good band surgeon to switch to for my fills. I have been banded since Sept 2008. We are a military family, and I've heard Wright Patt has a very good medical facility, also wondering if they have a band surgeon on staff. Also checking in to see if there are any local support groups. Any input and referrals would be great! We are looking forward to moving to the area and meeting new people!

Hi I was banded by Dr Dock at the base he is wonderful. The whole staff is great. sometimes you have to wait for an appt but its worth it. Hope your move went well.

Thanks so much for replying! I have so many questions...first of all, do you know if you have to use the band docs on base? Do they have a weight loss program for you to follow, like with monthly appts? Do you know if they have access to fluroscopy? The move went well, were still getting settled in. It takes alot of time! My last fill was in June, and I'm doing great but I know I need to get in to see a new surgeon and get back into that routine. How long have you had your band? How long have you been at WP? Its nice to find someone stationed here that knows the docs and the hospital!

Hi Glad your move went well! Ok I can answers some questions. I see Dr. Dock he is wonderful. On vac for a week. I go about every 4 to 6 weeks. I live in West Chester so the support group I do not know that much about. The flurscope I do not know if they have or not. We been going to WPF hospital for around 6 years. I think that tri care makes you go to the base for the band but I am not sure. Alison can help you X9524. Let me know if there is any other question I can help you with.
