Hi Cindy,
I haven't used Dr Springer myself but I was in contact with his office a while back. I was planning on going to him until I got in contact with a couple of his patients that used him for breast augmuntation. They did not have much positive things to say about him. He had made mistakes in placement of their implants and when they wanted him to fix his mistakes he was a real jerk about it and wanted to charge them as much to fix it as they paid originally. Most surgeons takes care of these sort of things for free or for a drasrically reduced fee.
If you're planning on traveling to Chicago for your procedure there are many good surgeons you can use. But I would not recomend Dr Springer. I know he's good at marketing himself but that does not mean that he's a good surgeon. I believe that if he was a good and sincere surgeon he wouldn't have to market himself as agressively as he does.
I live in Chicago and I had a BA earlier this year. I have many names of doctors both here and in California that I can give you depending on the procedure you are having.
If you want to feel free to e-mail me if there is anything else you want to know.
