Hi, I'm Hope
I have been a DS member for over 3 years. After losing 100 pounds and having kept it off for almost 2 years I want to go on to plastics. Has anyone used doctor Dr. Elan Reisin. I am considering him as a surgeon for plastics. He is located at www.mystardoctor.com in Michigan. Any help or information would be most welcome and appreciated. Thanks : )

u can check the BBB as well as pull up the medical board for your state and see if he has anything on his record.

Hope this helps.
