us lapband doc with low cost???

Just starting to do my research and I am trying to find a doc here in AZ with a resonable charge, I am a self-pay and really dont want to go to MExico,k any HELP???? I've gotten from $10,000 to 18,000 here ??

A friend of mine was looking into lap Band and researched in AZ, and she found most ranged $14,900-17,000 or so. She called around pretty much every surgeon in the Phnx area that did lap band. In finding information she told me that out of everyone Dr Terry Simpson had the best deal... he was a slightly more expensive, but had all the fills and follow up and everything included. I think Dr Juarez at The Bridges Center was cheapest, but his price only included 2 fills. So for the whole package apparently Dr Simspon was the best deal. So on her research I'd say check out Dr Simpson, plus he has the most amazing staff! Ive met them all, and they are awesome ladies. Joyce who posts on this board is working for him. http://doctorsimpson.com/
