Topic: RE: HELP! I need to find a dr. in utah for post op fills!?
Here is some info about Dr. Green from Payson, UT. He is the only
one I recall hearing about that will do fills in Utah for patients of
Mexican doctors. (the following info is copied and pasted from
previous posts on this message board, if you look back, you can
actuall find some posts from patients who have used his services)
FYI, Payson is maybe 35 miles south of Provo, Ut. This info is from: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UtahBandsters/
"Anyone needing an adjustment should go to Dr. Green. He and his staff
were absolutely wonderful. His charge is a total of $250. $100 for him
and $150 for the hospital. I am so happy to have found someone so close!"
I went to WhitePages.com and found this info. Hope it helps!
