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.

Very horrible Doctor. He didn’t do anything that we talked about. He made the scar bigger than what we talked about. He didn’t remove the tattoo as he said he would have. He didn’t do anything we talked about. He did what he wanted to do horrible, horrible Doctor. I didn’t need a full tummy tuck yeah he still performed it when he said he wasn’t. He was gonna do it. Small liar liar Doctor we’re gonna call him Doctor liar

Worst Plastic Surgeon EVER!!!!!!!!
He herds people through the operating room like cattle. He is only in it for his own pocket. Completely botched my body to the point where it can not be fixed. Gave him way too many opportunities to make things right and he continued to do damage. Now I am stuck with a hideous body that I need to completely cover with clothing so nobody can see any bare skin. I had a nearly perfect body to start with and I needed a little tweaking. He suggested things I did not need just to up his bill. He completely butchered my body in every way. Total cost of all of the procedures was in excess of $26,000. Now I am hideous thanks to him. Please heed my warning and run as fast as you can away from this selfish man.

I had a few procedures with him from which he caused several serious issues. From my experience he is a dishonest doctor who over books himself and is quantity over quality. PLEASE reconsider him as your surgeon!!!!

I had met with Dr. Shifrin for a consultation for a breastlift and liposuction. He has excellent bedside manner and makes you feel at ease right away. He took the time to get to know me and my wants/needs for surgery. The office staff is very accommodating and scheduling appointments was always easy. I am beyond happy with my results. Dr. Shifrin is a very talented Plastic Surgeon. I would recommend him to friends/family and will go to him in the future for any other procedures of needed.

The ABSOLUTE BEST plastic surgeon in chicago. I came in for a breast enlargement surgery. The staff was super nice. He spent time explaining everything to me. I came back for my preoperative visit and picked my implant size. I was nervous of course but it came out great. Sending all my friends to him.

I had such a fantastic experience working with Dr. Shifrin. I had scar revision/ implants so I was very anxious about finding a doctor who would really be able to help my unique situation. Dr. Shifrin was extremely professional, listened to my concerns, and very patient when explaining the procedure and recovery. He made sure all of my ?s were answered during each visit. Staff was also very welcoming and warm which was awesome! Overall, Dr. Shifrin was phenomenal - highly recommend!!!!

Amazing Experience! Amazing Dr. and Staff. Amazing results. Dr. Shifrin and his staff are very professional and truly the best at what they do. I got a tummy tuck about 2 months ago and I am so happy with the results. Dr. Shifrin, Donna, and Dr. Craig made me feel so calm and at ease during my recovery. whenever I had questions, they were always willing to talk to me no matter the hour. I would highly recommend him to anyone that's looking to have a tummy tuck.

Incredibly gentle, thoughtful, and patient. Obviously an expert in his field. He explains everything that can be done and what it will feel like. And when I had the procedure there were no surprises. I will only go to him the future and I have a list of people who saw his work on my face who are now going to be a patient in the future.

Amazing Doctor!!! Dr. Shifrin is by far the best Surgeon. He made me feel welcomed since the day of my consultation. The staff at the office are AMAZING! Dr Shifrin brings back what a lot of doctors lack, and that is he cares for his patients and has a great amount of compassion towards them! As an MD, you can tell he enjoys what he does, he is just not another MD who entered the field for a paycheck! Dr. Shifrin is the BEST and I can't wait to schedule my next surgery with him and his team!
