| Help finding new doctor in Mexico
HELP! I need to find a new doctor in Mexico. I had lap band surgery in Tijuana and am having problems with my doctor. I need a fill and would like to go to someone new. Also, I will be in Puerto Vallarta May 9-13 if anybody has a suggestion for a doctor there.
Thank you

Hi, sorry about the problem you are having with your doctor.
You can get a fill just about anywhere in the US....many doctors do them and there is also a group of doctors that belong to fillcenters, a place that does adjustments.
What state are you located and maybe someone can referr you to someone.

Thank you for your response. I live in the Los Angeles area. I have not had any luck finding someone in the US to do a fill. I appreciate any help.

Dr. Rojas is in LA and does fills.
He is also part of the Fill-Centers-USA network of docs.

$349 for the first visit and $165 for each visit after that. And that includes the adjustment fill or unfill.
