Wise Business Plans Now Supports Marijuana Dispensaries with Up-to-Date Market Analyses


Writing & Financial Experts

The Writing & Financial Experts

We’ve always worked hard to stay up-to-date on the industries that are leading the way both medically and toward a better quality of life.

As demand for legal medical marijuana reaches levels never seen before in the United States, access to cannabis via well-managed dispensaries becomes more and more important, both for consumers and as part of the medical marijuana industry. Wise Business Plans, industry-leading online provider of state-of-the-art, online, custom cannabis business plans is now increasing its support for marijuana dispensary business owners with updated market research, bespoke feasibility studies and growth-focused planning.

“We’ve always worked hard to stay up-to-date on the industries that are leading the way both medically and toward a better quality of life,” said Joseph Ferriolo, director of Wise. “Cannabis has been shown to reduce stress and provide a variety of health benefits to people of all walks of life.”

The legalized marijuana industry is expected to reach $13.6 billion in profits by the end of 2019. According to Governing.com, 33 states and the District of Columbia have legalized the sale of cannabis, though the laws governing its sale and use vary.

Working within local and state restrictions to succeed is something Wise marijuana business planning experts can help with, said Ferriolo.

“We make it our business to research and understand the markets our clients are based in,” he said. “We can help you understand how best to serve the needs of the customers in the area you’re hoping to benefit.”

All Wise business plans are custom-tailored to each company’s unique business requirements and written by professional business plan writers who consult with the client one-on-one. Every plan includes an option for a free revision and is designed by a professional graphic artist.

Legalizing marijuana doesn’t mean everyone who could benefit from it has access, said Ferriolo. That’s why Wise is working diligently to support dispensary owners and potential owners.

“Our marijuana business plans can help you navigate through the creation or growth of a dispensary that can serve your community for years to come.”

Wise Business Plans (http://www.wisebusinessplans.com), staffed with professional MBA writers, researchers and financial experts, is a trusted partner for businesses across a broad spectrum of products and services. Our mission is to empower our clients to make the best possible business decisions, boost company performance and facilitate their funding success by laying the groundwork for strong businesses that excite, inspire and retain talented and exceptional employees.

Cosmetic Town Explores the Growing Trend of “Medical Tourism” on CosmeticTown.com


Cosmetic surgery continues to be popular in the United States as 1.8-million cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in 2018. While patients continue to undergo cosmetic procedures all throughout the United States, the final price can be quite costly thanks to any fees charged by the doctor or the facility, anesthesia fees and the extent of the work that needs to be performed to achieve the desired results. Because of the high cost of plastic surgery procedures in the United States, there are a large number of patients traveling overseas to undergo cosmetic surgery because of lower prices. The growing medical phenomenon of traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery is known as “medical tourism”.

According to the senior editor of Cosmetic Town, “Medical tourism is growing in popularity as patients conduct research on the areas of the world where cosmetic surgery is available for lower prices. Many American patients like to travel abroad to have plastic surgery because they are able to have the treatment away from the view of family and friends. Because of the growing number of patients practicing medical tourism, we recently devoted a week of our news stories to exploring why more people are traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery.”

As with any type of cosmetic surgery procedure, there are some risks involved with medical tourism. The senior editor stated “patients should be aware of the fact that there are many countries that do not have the same medical standards as the United States. The doctors performing cosmetic surgery do not always have the same medical standards as doctors in the United States. The doctors might not be board-certified and the facilities may not be properly licensed for the procedures they offer. Because of these factors, patients need to do research to learn more about the doctor or facility they are interested in visiting in order to ensure their own safety.”

When asked if medical tourism is a passing fad, the senior editor said “Cosmetic Town has been observing this growing medical trend and it does not look to be slowing down anytime soon. That’s one of the reasons our news team devoted a week to stories exploring the reasons why patients are responding so positively to medical tourism. A well-informed patient is a patient that is prepared and knowledgeable about having their procedure of choice. Medical tourism is fine as long as the doctor in question is board-certified and experienced in providing natural and long-lasting results.”

About Cosmetic Town

Cosmetic Town is an online cosmetic medicine publication whose mission is to share knowledge, inspire people and improve lives though cosmetic medicine. The website features doctors who were endorsed and highly recommended by their peers. Its reliable and streamlined database allows users to easily access the cosmetic surgery information they need with just a click of a button.

ABC’s 20/20 Features the Restored Smile of Facial Gunshot Victim Mary Jo Buttafuoco


When I first learned of Mary Jo’s tragic events, I believed I could help her find her smile again – and so I did

A two-hour special episode of ABC’s 20/20 – aired on November 9, 2019 – looks back on the infamous shooting of Mary Jo Buttafuoco in May of 1992. Buttafuoco, a patient of Dr. Babak Azizzadeh of the Facial Paralysis Institute, was shot in the face outside her home by 17-year old Amy Fisher, who claimed to be having an extramarital affair with Mary Jo’s husband, Joseph Buttafuoco. After initially fighting for her life, Buttafuoco was left disfigured, deaf in one ear, and paralyzed on one side of her face. After seeing her story publicized on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005, Dr. Azizzadeh offered his expertise. Through a series of successful surgeries, Dr. Azizzadeh’s talents ultimately restored Buttafuoco’s smile.

“When I first learned of Mary Jo’s tragic events, I believed I could help her find her smile again – and so I did,” says Dr. Azizzadeh. Dr. Azizzadeh performed a state-of-the-art facial reanimation procedure involving static facial suspension, an asymmetric facelift, and eye lift procedures. These innovative treatments restored Buttafuoco’s smile and returned balance to her face. Dr. Azizzadeh also widened her damaged ear canal, which improved her hearing and will help prevent future infections.

Months later, Dr. Azizzadeh was invited to appear with Buttafuoco on The Oprah Winfrey Show for a follow-up segment on his patient. When Oprah asked how she felt about her new appearance, Buttafuoco responded, “I love the results!”
