Kelly Fitzpatrick

Can someone please explain to me why Kelly Fitzpatrick is used for giving lap band patients fills?  I live in the Eugene/Springfield area, and notice that her name comes up quite often for this.  I currently am a patient of Dr. Patterson's but would love to be able to "SAVE THAT DRIVE TO PORTLAND? " Thanks in advance for your replies...............

She's a naturopathic physician and a trained nurse.  She does fills in Portland and Eugene.  Here's a link to her website:  http://gastricbands.com/index.html.  Many of her patients are Mexico-banded patients.  She doesn't use fluoro, either.  Her cost is comparable. I don't have any formal opinion (since we had the same surgical group) about how good, bad, or indifferent the two fill experiences may be...

Thanks Lori.............I was just wondering.  I have been to her website, and that seemed okay.  Just wondering what the attraction was.  So most of her patients has their surgery in Mexico, and I do know that those patients need to have their fills done somewhere more convenient.   I have only had the one fill, and it wasn't done under fluoro either.....worked for me.  Due for another,hopefully, March 6...do know that I don't have much, if any restriction.  Just good old will power, that seems to work better some days than others.  Know what I mean?

I go to Kelly all the time. She's kind, friendly, and excellent at doing the fill. She used to do port fills , i think for cancer patients. She is very experienced. I have had fills at the Doc's office (who did my surgery) and it was a night and day experience. Kelly gives pain free fills and takes the time to figure out how much you need. Nancy

Nan, I misplaced your phone number.  But one more question...why do you go to Kelly instead of your surgeon?  That is what I am trying to figure out.  Are the charges comparable? Thanks!

I've had 3 fills by Kelly and just love her.  My last fill was too much and I went back two days later to take out  .03cc's and she was great.  I go to her because I like her, it costs only $175 and I can go to either Eugene or Milwalkie.  I've also recieved counseling on nutrition and a health plan for my daughter.
