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.

Dr. Steen is amazing! She is so invested in her patients and listens to all concerns and gives all the information she possibly can to make you feel assured and comfortable!

best doctor at Kansas city
I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kalila Steen and her amazing nurse, Victoria! From the very first consultation, they both made me feel so comfortable, and well taken care of. This was my aesthetic surgery, and I was quite nervous, but Dr. Steen’s professionalism, expertise, and warm demeanor reassured me that I was in the best hands.Dr. Steen is truly an artist—my breast augmentation looks so natural and perfectly proportioned to my body. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. The recovery process was seamless, and Nurse Victoria was an absolute gem—always available to answer my questions, incredibly kind, and genuinely caring. She made sure I was fully prepared for surgery and followed up with me during recovery, making the experience even better. Will definitely choose again Dr. Steen for any future aesthetic surgery.

Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!
I am so pleased with the results of my surgery! Dr. Steen and Victoria as well as other team members I interacted with always showed me respect, kindness and empathy. Victoria would respond so quickly every time I reached out and went above and beyond the scope of her duties to ensure my questions and requests were answered thoroughly and timely. I was well informed about what to expect before and after surgery and never once felt pressured to undergo surgery. I highly recommend Monarch to anyone seeking breast surgery. It's an investment in yourself!

Dr Steen did a fantastic job on my lift.
Between Dr Steen and Victoria (Dr Steen's nurse) I could not have been happier with whole process and of course the outcome. They both did a great job explaining procedure. Everything went according to plan. My surgery was on a Friday and was not going to see Dr. Steen until Monday. I appreciated the fact that she reached out to me on Saturday to make sure I was doing ok. It's been a month since my procedure and feel my recovery has been easy. With everything said I would definitely recommend Dr. Steen and her team. Thank you again ladies!

Incredible results, incredible team!
I am so grateful for everything Dr. Steen's team did for me throughout this process. I didn't know what to expect when I came for my breast reduction consultation, but I felt comfortable and cared for every single visit. From the way they advocated for me with the insurance company to the procedure itself and the thorough (albeit lengthy) recovery care... Man, I couldn't have asked for a better team on my side. Plus, the results are absolutely amazing. Those before and after photos really put things in perspective!!! It sounds like hyperbole, but this decision was completely life changing. I know these experiences are different for every individual, but I would 100% recommend this procedure—and this absolute treasure of a medical team—for anyone who is ready to take this step.Dr. Steen and her team are the best and I am so, so incredibly grateful for what they've done for me.

Couldn’t Be Happier!
Dr. Steen did my breast reduction, and I had an amazing experience. I went to several consultations in the KC area, and she made me feel so welcomed and comfortable, in an uncomfortable setting (it’s not every day you show your chest to a stranger). I had only positive experiences in every appointment, and she did an AMAZING job. I could not be happier with how I have healed, and would recommend Dr. Steen to anyone!

I highly recommend Dr. Kalila Steen and her nurse, Victoria. They are truly amazing! They were always professional, kind, respectful, listened to and answered any questions or concerns I had. I was never rushed through any of my appointments. They eased any anxiety I felt and made my experience wonderful! I am 3.5 months post op of a circumferential abdominoplasty with 360 liposuction. I am absolutely thrilled with my results! I highly recommend Dr. Steen!

I appreciated the well run clinic and friendly atm
No extended waiting. Careful explanation of the whole process, pre op, the operation and post op care. I had no surprises. Dr. Steen is bright optimistic and supportive. Her work was stellar.

Dr. Steen was amazing to work with. I cannot express how grateful I am for her exceptional care, clear communication, and level of professionalism through the entire breast reduction process. The level of care from the first consultation to my final follow up appointment was amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Steen. I would also like to mention that her office staff is very friendly and was willing to answer any questions that I had.
