Dr. John Symbas – Reviews
Dr. Symbas is a gifted surgeon and a wonderful human being!! I was diagnosed with breast cancer a year and a half ago. He was recommended to be by my surgical oncologist and it is the best referral I have ever received!! From the very first appointment to our final post op, he has encouraged me and been a critical part of my care team. He is always available to answer questions, address concerns and has amazing bedside manner. I am 100# satisfied with my reconstruction results. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
I have never felt so safe in the care of a doctor as I do with Dr Symbas. From my first consultation appointment until my last checkup, he and his staff have always made me feel like I was their most important patient. My melanoma surgery was very complicated and he worked miracles to make my nose look as close to my old nose as could ever be. He is, without a doubt, the best!
After dreading the need to have a double mastectomy, I was amazed at the beautiful job Dr. Symbas did with reconstruction following my surgery. When I woke up from recovery I wasn’t flat chested. Even though things were different as I expected they would be, but so much more natural than I expected. Dr, Symbas is an outstanding plastic surgeon. I’m very thankful I chose him and his helpful staff.
You may be familiar with the old saying about never getting a second chance to make a first impression. It is important to note as I review Dr. John Symbas, the first impression given by the staff that comprises his team was professional, informative and welcoming. That being said, the bar had been set and I was hopeful that upon meeting Dr. Symbas during my initial consultation, I would be…
Outstanding surgeon and staff. Dr. Symbas is at the top of a very short list of professionals I’d allow to administer filler and Botox. Always feel like a million bucks after getting Botox done by Dr. Symbas. He knows exactly what I need to achieve the look I want. Hands down best Dr. I’ve ever encountered and will recommend him and his team to any and everyone!
Amazing results. Dr. Symbas & his staff could not have been more wonderful. It turned out better than I expected. I would recommend this expert & caring doctor to everyone! They made the whole experience less intimidating & so worth the end results.
Amazing! Incredible! far surpassing my expectations!Dr. J. Symbas performed two surgeries.A mini facelift and breast reconstruction after cancer.The breast Reconstruction was severe because the Breast implants had become calcified And then he found more cancer. These Complications made the surgery last 3 hours longer than anticipated. Dr John went above & beyond the call of duty …
As a male, it can be intimidating somewhat to walk in a plastic surgeons office.. however Lindy at the front desk made me feel more than welcome. She was so nice and greeted everyone with a smile, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Symbas and his nurses were also friendly and down to earth. I did not feel like a number, or product of financial gain while meeting with him. Sarah was also super nice and helpful. I was so comfortable at my appointment. The efficiency of this office is outstanding. I booked the day of my consultation, and I know I will be more than pleased with my results. They all make a great team!
I had reached a point in my life where I was so discussed and uncomfortable with my breast not to mention the health problems they were causing me. My breast were huge and sagging to my waistline. I was referred to Dr. Symbas office from my doctor at the breast center. From the day I called Dr. Symbas office I was welcomed by the receiving end which was a friendly voice her name was Kerry! I…
I met with Dr. Symbas for the first time today for a breast reduction consultation. From the beginning of the appointment I was impressed with his staff that made me feel completely comfortable. I appreciated the fact that even before the surgery Dr. Symbas discussed aftercare with me. He seems like an amazing doctor and i know that I am in good hands.
