Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Everything you want in a Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Antony is incredibly compassionate. She wants to help you achieve your goals in a healthy and safe way. She is a perfectionist, which is what you want in your plastic surgeon. She wants you to be happy with your results, but she too takes pride in her work and wants you to not be satisfied with your results but excited and feel more confident after your surgery. She is a true advocate for patients. I have many friends that have also had surgery, injectables and procedures done by her, and we all have said similar things about how we were treated by her. I 100% feel like she treated me as if she was doing surgery on one of her family members. One friend had surgery and during the surgery there was an extra step taken to achieve the best possible result. Dr. Antony told my friend she does not want to walk away from a surgery knowing there was something else that could be done to improve the outcome, my friends result was phenomenal.

Best plastic surgeon
I recently had the pleasure of undergoing a procedure with Dr. Anu Antony, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, my experience was nothing short of exceptional.Dr. Antony’s expertise and professionalism were evident from our first meeting. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. Her detailed approach and clear communication made me feel confident and well-informed throughout the entire process.The surgery itself went smoothly, and Dr. Antony’s skill and precision were truly remarkable. The results exceeded my expectations, looking natural and perfectly aligned with what we had discussed. I appreciated her meticulous attention to detail and her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me.What also stood out was the level of care and compassion Dr. Antony and her staff provided. They were always available to address any concerns I had, both

Dr Antony is a trusted artist and surgeon
Dr Antony is not only accomplished but personable! I totally trust her. Her artistic eye is truly appreciated and she delivers aesthetic results which are outstanding and natural. My facelift including eyes and lip enhancement are so natural and I look 15 years younger, in time for my daughter's wedding. I am very grateful I was able to find Dr Antony. I am excited for her new adventures as she opens her practice in the RTP area and will be following her for my next surgery (tummy tuck and liposuction).

Arrogant ineptitude
26yrs post breast reconstruction for cancer, referred to Dr. Antony for evaluation of pain and potential revision. Operation discussed was not performed and instead I awoke without a breast and a tissue expander that had not been discussed. These had painfully failed multiple times in the past. She made it clear to me that she had not reviewed my chart prior to surgery, but her narcissistic arrogance propelled her to attempt a surgery she couldn't perform. This resulted in two additional surgeries, one emergent, for complications stemming directly from her poor clinical decision making and questionable surgical ability. She deferred blame and skirted around questions she didn't like. Instead she attempted reassuring me with boastful references to institutions and physicians she trained with, which ironically have nothing to do with current her personal ability. She is a poor example of a physician and should be avoided

I met Dr 5 years ago when she suggested a nipple sparing right mastectomy. due to a cancer tumor. She also added an implant to my left breast to even out. The results were magnificent. About a year or so later my implant burst and it needed replacement. A DIEP flap surgery was performed a few yrs later recovery was intense. Again the results were excellent, and felt much more natural because my own tissue and fat were used instead of an implant. It seemed that my left breast was larger than my right and it made me uncomfortable. A few consultations, a year later after fat settled in, it was decided they would again transfer fat from my hips, where there was some buckling (?) from stitches, after the DIEP, to my left breast and deplete some from my right breast. Also, I had an eye lift, both upper & lower lids, in addition to lipo on my neck. My results on my face and entire abdomen was very sublte, remarkably natural. Dr. Antony is a very skilled surgeon

I went to Dr. Antony for breast reconstruction. She and her team were truly amazing! She is an artist. Before surgery she really listened to what I wanted for an outcome and explained the post op care. After surgery Dr. Antony’s team was very attentive-available 24 hours a day. I followed all the post op care and while I had thought it would be difficult it turned out to be much easier than I had anticipated. Just 6 months out my result is spectacular and I would recommend her to anyone!

Simply put, Dr. Antony is the best! The process of having a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction felt incredibly isolating and frankly de-womanizing, but I couldn’t be more thankful for Dr. Antony’s patience, understanding, and compassion. She was down to earth, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Her balance of art and science gave me results that I couldn’t be more pleased with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Antony to my family and friends.

Dr. Antony is simply the best! I cannot believe how natural and beautiful my result is. My new Ob-gyn could not even tell I was a double mastectomy-double reconstruction patient! She is known in the chicagoland area as the go-to surgeon for breast reconstruction and is nationally recognized for her the techniques she developed at Rush (totally famous!) Ask around and you will realize that she is technically the best, honest, dedicated w/a super bedside manner. Her staff are awesome too!

Dr Antony is a total expert on breast reconstruction that offers techniques that are not available at any other hospital in the Chicagoland area. She is a real artist and has an aesthetic eye. People don’t even know that I am a double mastectomy with recon- they look so natural! I am so glad I found her- I was referred to her because she is known as the best! (She also does my Botox and fillers and I am so glad I asked about it.)

She did not listen to my questions about breast reconstruction options. Feel that she pressured me into implants. Also mislead me regarding recovery and time off work. She was very abrupt and condescending. Very unhappy with her bedside manner and overall demeanor.

Dr. Antony is the most impressive surgeon I've ever met. After speaking with several doctors, I actually flew to Chicago to undergo surgery with Dr. Antony specifically given her experience and results. She approaches surgery with the craft of an artist - topped with her expert medical training at Stanford and lovely bedside manner (she's the sweetest!) I couldn't have asked for more. My surgery came out flawlessly, and I always recommend Dr. Antony to family and friends.

Dr Antony is very experienced and surgically skillful. I know having a female plastic surgeon was important to me bc I felt she understood what I wanted to achieve. She knows what she is doing and her work in the operating room is clearly superior. She is very busy but it does not bother me- she is an artist and in high demand. She and her staff were also very willing to answer my questions.

This was a follow up appt after a procedure with a different plastic surgeon. I was called 1/2 hour prior to my appointment after sitting in traffic for 45 minutes and advised that my appointment was canceled because the doctor was going to be out of the office. It is beyond my comprehension that a doctor does not know before 1/2 hour prior to an appointment that there is a problem. I am not a difficult person although I may sound like I am. This is so unprofessional.
