Dr. John Symbas – Reviews
I absolutely loved dr symbas’s “bedside manner” and it’s what caused me to say yes to him in the first place! He is kind and smart and really cares about his patients. My Brest aug could not have gone better- I gave him the approximate size and look I wanted and put trust in him to figure it out based on my body when I was in surgery. He did a phenomenal job. They look natural and my recovery was easy! Nurse and admin staff there was also nice and helpful
After having my breast reduction last year, I decided I definitely wanted to have a tummy tuck, also. I went back to Dr. Symbas because I was so happy with my breast reduction. Dr. Symbas and his staff are so kind. They really go that extra mile to answer your questions. The night before my surgery Dr. Symbas even called the day before to help calm any pre- surgery jitters. I’m three weeks p…
I was recommended to Dr John Symbas by my doctor and I’m so glad she did. Dr Symbas is such a wonderful person with a great personality and bedside manner’s. He is a skilled professional surgeon, knowledgeable and patient. He will explain every detail until you understand and have time to make your decision. The staff is wonderful and kind. My latest surgery was the Upper Blepharoplasty which I am very pleased and excited about. If you’re looking for the best, I highly recommend this group.
I’ve wanted to have a breast reduction for some time and had not been impressed with any of the doctors I had been to. A friend recommended Dr. Symbas after she had to have reconstructive surgery after breast cancer. After meeting Dr. Symbas, I knew I wanted him to do my surgery. He’s not just confident in what he does, you feel he genuinely cares about you and understands the place you are…
I was a little apprehensive when my surgeon first recommended Dr Symbas for my breast reconstruction. I typically choose women for my doctors because I feel they understand my concerns better (being they are women too). However, Dr Symbas put all of my fears to rest. He calmly addressed my issues and made me feel everything would be okay. The staff was also very upbeat and pleasant at each of my visits. I went from large breasts to much smaller ones with minimal issues. My new breasts may be fake but they’re great. Dr Symbas rocks!
Dr. Symbas is possibly the most caring and authentic surgeon I have ever met. He truly cares about his patients, and it shows with every interaction. I have a great outcome after breast reconstruction, and he appeared emotionally vested in the outcome and my happiness. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing plastic surgery for any reason.
Breast surgical resulted in disfiguration
There are simply no words to describe the gratitude my husband and I have for Dr. Symbas other than he is nothing short of amazing. I had a breast reduction over the summer and he changed my life… literally! I feel like a new woman. He is a master of his craft. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Symbas. His bedside manner is impeccable and he truly cares for his patients. His staff is also amazing… professional and caring. There’s no one better. You will not be disappointed. I promise! Overly satisfied patient, Leslie Sanchez-Johnson
I am thrilled and totally happy with Dr. Symbas and his staff with the results I had from my breast reduction and uplift due to my cancer lumpectomy. I cannot say enough good words to praise him. He is awesome!
Dr. Symbas and his staff were amazing! I got a breast Reduction on 8/21/20 and I’m in LOVEEEE with my results. I was a 36 G, I wanted to go down to a C cup. I will post my before and after pics when I’m all healed up. I am currently recovering.
