Dr. John Symbas – Reviews
I am so pleased with the experience I’ve had with Dr. Symbas and his staff! They have been so supportive throughout my surgery and recovery process. I am so happy with my decision to go with his team for my surgical needs.
My experience with Dr Symbas was Awesome. After Cancer and a double mastectomy he performed reconstructive surgery and implants and I am so happy with the results. The year of visits and healing were wonderful because he and his staff were very professional and friendly and kind and compassionate. I will be forever grateful to them.
Dr. Symbas is an amazing doctor and person. He went above and beyond everything we were expecting. Thankful we found him.
Wonderful experience at this practice!
I had a totally positive experience from start to finish with my breast reduction and mini abdominoplasty. Dr. Symbas is an amazing surgeon with friendly, kind and professional bedside manner. He always called me back the same day when I needed to voice concerns or ask questions in the weeks leading up to my surgery. My surgery and healing went well. I am very pleased with the work he did and the results have been life changing (I am 3 months post op). I chose Dr. Symbas because of his 5 Star and absolutely flawless reviews on Heath Grades. The entire office staff at Atlanta Plastic Reconstructive is welcoming, professional and hard working and having the surgery done at Piedmont Hospital was great. I totally recommend Dr. Symbas and am so glad I chose him. I was a 36DD on petite 5’1” frame. The surgery helped my back pain and I am thrilled to be proportional now. The mini abdominoplasty repaired my terrible (4) c-section scar and restored my sculpted tummy. Scars look great.

I was referred to Dr. Symbas by my oncologist when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer to discuss possible outcomes. He was informative, kind, attentive and patient then and throughout the process. A week and a half ago he preformed reconstruction to my breasts, including lipo/a fat transfer, and to a lymph node scar. I’m already happy with the aesthetic results, and know the final outcome will be amazing. I highly recommend this caring and talented doctor. Also, his entire staff has been very kind and helpful during every visit and call/email.
Dr. Symbas was incredibly kind and professional. I had full faith in him and his team. He made me feel so comfortable and answered a million questions in person or over the phone to make sure I felt ready for the procedure. When I go in for my periodic check ups every staff member remembers my name and Dr. Symbas treats me like family. He did my grandmothers breast reconstruction after cancer,…
