Dr. John Symbas – Reviews
2 weeks out from surgery and just had my pre-op appt yesterday. I’m so excited! Everyone at Marietta Plastic Surgery is awesome. I was nervous at my consult back in April, but I’ve had a lot of time to process the fact that this is really happening and it’s happening soon. In the last month I’ve decided I want to go a bit bigger than I originally thought, probably 400-450 cc. Ibn going to let…
Dr.Symbas is AWESOME! I am 100% pleased with him and his staff. I highly recommend him! I really appreciated his honesty in what my results would be after the procedure. He was friendly and made me feel at ease prior to having my tummy tuck. He ROCKS! If you are considering having any plastic procedure done go see Dr. Symbas at Marietta Plastic Surgery!
Hi. I’m literally 2 weeks from turning 17 and a nice present from my insurance company was paying for this procedure. I’ve had bad back and shoulder pain that recently became unbearable. I used to cheer lead but unfortunately had to stop when the pain increased. Going into this surgery I was so nervous. I hate needles and anesthesia and medicine and doctors anyways, and a 3 hour long procedure…
Dr. Symbas is the most compassionate doctor! My family and i could not have made it through my breast reconstruction without him and his team. I would highly recommend them!!!
Dr. Symbas was great! Very understanding! Love the outcome! Very happy so far. 12 weeks post op.
I have had back and neck issues my whole like due to the weight of my pendulous breasts. I was apprehensive about the reduction surgery and not knowing much about Dr. Symbas. Everything went perfectly, and he is EXTREMELY cautious and professional. Would recommend him to anyone!
I am very impressed with Dr. Symbas’s relationship with his patients. He accepts responbility for things that don’t go as planned (appointments, etc.) and is eager to make the patient happy. He is very open and friendly and seems to go out of his way to explain things clearly. He’s new to the practice I go to, but I’m sure he’ll soon have a great following.
