Got my band date....

I've been reading and researching for a long time now and have finally got my surgery date. Feb 28th with Dr. Kuri. I've been planning all along to go back to Kuri for my fills. But, now I'm a little hesitant because, I keep hearing about all these erosions and I think it would be best to have someone local. It seems to be real slim pickings for Dr's here. Can you wonderful Oregonians give me some ideas as for Dr's.

Thanks so much...

Hey Tacee, I live in Harrisburg, and my doctor is Steven Tersigni in Coos Bay. It is a little drive but no traffic. Great doctor, wonderful office staff and his PA is wonderful.:D

hey Jack--Does Dr. Wong in Portland do fills on people, even if they didn't have the surgery with him? Any idea on cost? thanks for any info. Rebecca in Hillsboro

I looked back in an earlier thread and saw that Dr. Hong is with Patterson. She gives a firm, resounding NO with regard to giving fills to anyone she didn't do the surgery on. I had checked with her 8 or so months ago. So . . Hong is probably the same, but I'll check if I find his number somewhere.
