Hello! My surgeon is Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I suppose he will be my follow up dr to as no one local will touch me with a ten foot poll.
Glad to know there are other Oregon's out there!

There is an Oregon thread somewhere. I thought on the main board it's broken down into states. Am I incorrect?
I love my dr. and I love my band!

Kelly Fitzpatrick in Portland and Eugene will do fills. So will Dr. Tersingi but that's a long drive for you.

| i live in portland and
I keep finding myself looking for comments from you guys; this could get to be very helpful to reach out to besides food. I'm also a "recovering" person and just switched my addiction to food so this feels like a good support tool. thanks, sufina  | |
