Highest recommendation for Dr. Symbas and his entire staff. Attentive loving care throughout the pre-, post-, and surgical processes, with perfect results.
I cannot imagine a more positive experience and outcome than I had with Dr. Symbas and his entire staff. From the initial appointment through the post-op period I received prompt, professional, compassionate care. I had all the time I needed to discuss any aspect of my procedure with Dr. Symbas. He listened attentively to my concerns and goals for the procedures he performed and did exactly what we agreed upon. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I recommend this team of professionals without reservation!
Unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer, I elected to have a double mastectomy with reconstruction. I had interviewed several plastic surgeons, but never felt comfortable moving forward with any of them. Thankfully I was referred to Dr. Symbas. I felt completely at ease during our first consult. He is so easy to talk to! I never felt rushed at any of our appointments. He even gives his patients his cell number! As one of my surgery dates was getting closer, I was getting nervous and emailed him. He took time out of his busy schedule, that same day, to talk to me! He and his PA always leave you with a hug, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my results. Thank you Dr. Symbas for making this difficult time in my life easier!
It was amazing, great, professional I had the best doctor ever he was so caring and always willing to answer to any concerns I had and I would recommend him to everyone!!!!!!!! #bestplasticsurgeonever
I recently had Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty with Dr. Symbas. He takes his time with you, answers all your questions and concerns, makes you feel at ease, and is very soothing. He doesn’t suggest anything that you do not want or pressure you into performing something that you may not be ready or asking for. I would highly recommend him for any work that you wish to be done.
