DOCTOR PAUL STANISLAW JR, DOUBLE BOARD CERTIFIED FACIAL SURGEON, The dream of serving in the military is being dashed for many young people by two small problems: stretched earlobes.

He is offering a ten percent discount to all military and law enforcement for earlobe reconstruction procedures, not just on Veterans’ Day, but year-round to ensure anyone who wishes to serve will not be disqualified and he was on to talk with Brad and Paul about it!
