I had Dr. McKeen do my surgery,he flys out of California every two weeks and does surgerys in Orem, Utah. He also does fills too. E-mail me for more info if you are interested.

My doctor is Dr. Hanafy at Pioneer Valley Bariatric Center at Pioneer Valley Hospital. I have researched and have gotten very positive feedback from patients and others. I have seen him twice during the presentation and then my eval appointment and he seems very up to date, informative, very caring and took for ever to answer all of my questions and concerns. Didn't make me feel like I was another $ in his pocket. I have my pre op appointment for the end of July. I have started with my pre op diet and exercise. I'm very excited and looking forward for the rest of my new life!!!!!

There's a Dr. Green in Payson, but apparently his fills are pretty expensive. As far as I know, he's the only one in Utah that does fills for patients banded outside the U.S.

Dr. Hansen from South Valley Surgical did my band operation. Their fees are VERY reasonable (I believe the cheapest in Utah) and the support you get is phenomenal. You get your first year of free fills and after that it's only $250 for unlimited fills every year after that (or $60/fill). Before going to Mexico, you should know that fills here in Utah could end up costing almost as much as getting your surgery done here by the time you are finished. I'm glad you're doing your homework ahead of time.

You can visit the Bariatric Center at Pioneer Valley Hospital. The physician is Dr. Hanafy Hanafy and their number is 801-840-9474. Their staff is very supportive. If anyone follows up with them, let me know how you liked or did not liked them. :gluck:

Hi, just a note to give you Dr. McKeens's phone number. Call his Nurse Chris at 801-380-5020 you will be asked to leave your name and a phone number. She will get back to you to set up an appointment. Let them know I referred you, I may get a few $$ off my next fill. He has been charging me $200.00.
Dr. McKeen is great and his Nurse is very easy to work with. I need to get back in for another fill soon too. His office is in Orem, he flys in to do Surgery and fills every two weeks. Just e-mail me if you have other questions.

Hi Rett,
I went to Dr. Hansen also for my band. What I found out is that no one wants to touch you if you go to mexico:cry . I was going to go to Dr. Kuri too.
I love Dr. Hanson and his staff and they are right here in utha in case anything happens.
Good luck anillacookie:bandit

When I got my surgery in Mexico Dr. Green was charging $75 a fill. The hospital just raised it to 550 so now I am trying to find somewhere else to go. If anyone hears of a place in Utah please let me know. thanks

katherinegrace · 08-16-2006, 11:48 AM

I just talk to Dr. McKeen's office he charges $375 for the first visit and $325 for each visit after that. Good luck to all looking for fills in Utah.

I am so so sad that Dr. Green raised his prices... I loved going to him...He's always so kind and so encouraging.

When I asked the receptionist about the prices going up she said that the hosptial was raising their fee's to over $300 and then dr. Green's fees on the top of that. It's just too expensive. His nurse was a wee bit defensive about it and said that they were still comparable to everyone else.... uh no they're not.

I hope that by everyone going else where that they are forced to lower the prices... doubt it will happen though.
