I am moving back to Norfolk and would like to have my surgery there. PLease help

There are several really good surgeons here. My PS is in Newport News and I love him and now he's doing my thigh/buttock lift in Feb. His name is Dr. Michael Zwicklbauer "Dr. Z". They will file insurance on your request and no payments have to be made until your pre-op appointment. Consults are free. They also have Dr. Blanchard in the same office and I'm also impressed with his work, especially on breasts. My tummy looks fantastic. I had an anchor cut and I'm tight as a drum and got a tiny waist now. Dr. Billet is also good, he's in Suffolk and I'm sure some of the other ladies will pipe in with their choices. I can tell you who NOT to go to, but I'll have to do that in private. Jane
