Dr. Fallang????

Anyone have experience with Dr. Fallang? I understand he does creative financing for those with partial coverage?? Darlene

Darlene, I had surgery with Dr. Fallang almost a year ago, and love him and the staff at Riverview and Surgical Weight Loss. A friend had him also and was self pay. I had insurance and they are great as as far as accepting what insurance pays. I have heard that they have creative financing also. Give them a call, they will work with you. He does great surgery and the surgery center is wonderful and you couldn't ask for better care. I have had no problems since my surgery and feel great! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Chris

Thanks for the response. I really appreciate everyone's support. Darlene

Darlene~ I know we have talked via email regarding your current situation. I cannot reccommend Dr. F enough! He is a wonderful surgeon, witty, handsome and charming and he cares! To date for my pre op care, surgery and stay, I have paid a total of $90 and that was my co-pays for my pre op visit and my 6 week and 3 month visits. Dr. F is out of network for all insurances, I believe and accepts what the insurance pays as payment in full. He has his own facility and the MAJORITY of the nurses have had the surgery. The hospital is wonderful. He only does a few patients a week, so you have top notch care and it is quiet and peaceful there. I checked out the Wish Center and was immediately turned off. I went to Dr. F's seminar the next day, which by the way is 5 hours long and he gives it for the WHOLE 5 hours, then stays after to answer one-on-one questions, I could not have been more impressed with him, IMMEDIATELY! In my opinion, you can't go wrong with him. Jenn 264.8/204.6/145

Thanks Jenn, you are the greatest! You are the reason I found out about the possibility of staying with my current insurance coverage. You are doing so wonderful, I can't wait to hear that you have made it to goal! Have a blessed day! Darlene

DITTO DITTO DITTO. Dr. Fallang performed my surgery in 7/04 and he and his crew are phenominal. I was self pay but did the 2nd mortgage thing so I'm not sure about creative financing. You can call and talk to Abby in the Finance department. She would be happy to help you! Good luck!!!

Thank you Michelle. I just keep thinking it sounds too good to be true. I see you live close to me. You look wonderful! Congratulations on your success! Darlene

I have nothing but the best to say about Dr. Fallang!! I was just there on Wednesday for my 1 year follow up. Of course no one recognized me..........but once I told them who I was they remembered me!! They are the greatest team that you could ask for.........and they do only take what insurance pays........if that is possible with your insurance!! Jen 264/152/140

Jen~ I was there on Wednesday too! You have done phenominal! I wanted to that you for all of the help that you gave me when I was going through a really rough time with the surgery and I wanted to let you know that I made it over the hump and life couldn't be better now! Jenn 264.8/204.8/145

Hey Jenn!! I am glad you are doing better.........I hadn't heard anything more from you and hoped that you were o.k. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner!!! I have gone from a tight 24 to an 8 !! I am eventually going to have skin removal with Dr. F and hopefully go down another size or 2!!!! As always...........if you need anything I am always here!! Jen
