Anyone ever used Dr. Vitello for fills

[Donna34]

I'm thinking of going to him. He is closest to home for me. Any comments about him, good or bad?

Also how SOON did you get your first fill? I'm almost 6 weeks out.

Thanks,

Donna

Hi Donna!

I was also considering Dr. Vitello for fills. I did some research, and while I have not heard anything bad about him, I decided not to use him for fills. The main reason is I contacted Inamed, the people who make our bands, and they said that Dr. Vitello does not place the bands and has never had the proctored training that ALL doctors who place the Inamed bad must take. That was the deal breaker for me.... If he is not trained in our band, I will not let him touch my band!

I was right at 7 weeks when I got my first fill. I need another one now, but do not have the time to go to TJ, so I am looking locally also, if I find someone at a reasonable cost, I will let you know!
