The real question you should be asking is whether or not they accept Care Credit for emergency care or for follow-up care when you're in Chicago and your surgeon is still in the Dominican Republic. Surgical tourism "saves" money for a reason--the doctors in the Dominican Republic do not have to pay malpractice insurance, not do they have to live up to ASPS, American Board of Plastic Surgery, AAAASF or JCAHO accreditation standards. At least you have recourse here in the USA; in the Dominican Republic you have NO rights, and if you're sick or having a problem you are not able to be your own advocate. Meaning--you are going to be taken to the nearest and cheapest place they can "get rid" of their problem--You.Think carefully about saving money in this situation. Do you really want the cheapest, unregulated, "surgeon" you can find. I'm sure you can find a Dermatologist in Chicago who does cosmetic surgery for "less." (because they are not fully-trained plastic surgeons).Please reconsider. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
