just ran into this link while on another site and was rather dumbfounded at the listed DS credentials and false advertising for this surgeon I was cautioned from using as he was bait & switch and also had some very unhappy patients here back when I was looking a couple years ago! He is at a Weight Loss Clinci now in Mesa, AZ. Scarey!!

Mixed reviews on Schlesinger.

Some are pleased with him, some had a bad experience. I had a bad experience with him, but it was limited to just talking to him. After talking to him I knew he was not my man; but then I was looking to get a reivision and a extremely difficult one at that. From what I've read, the people who liked him were all virgin DS patients.

I think he can do a virgin DS, but a revision is beyond his pay grade. Just my opinion...
