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.

Amazing work and fabulous Doctor! :)
I'm writing this for my husband as he is the one who had work done by Dr. Kanter and a little bit will be my experience with him. My husband was suffering with Rhinophyma due to having Rosacea that did not respond well to medications and also being of Eastern European descent. It wasn't horrible at first, but in the past two years, it took on a new life and actually caused him many issues with his breathing. His dermatologist referred him to a number of plastic surgeons, but for one reason or another the doctors were doing specialty work and as his was for a medical reason, he was having a time.He was given two more referrals, one of them being for Dr. Kanter. My husband said that the office was very nice and staff was very friendly. Dr. Kanter looked at his nose and found that my husband's nostrils were being constricted by the growths. It was decided that he would need surgery to remove them and to reconstruct his nose. He had the surgery three weeks ago and what a wonderf

World Class Surgeon!
For anyone considering plastic surgery or researching providers for a loved one, you're reading a review for the absolute best, most qualified in the field. When looking for a board certified surgeon for my little girl earlier this year, bedside manner wasn’t a deciding factor one way or the other in my evaluation. I prioritized technical skill, experience, and an artistic eye demonstrated in the before & after images. I chose Dr. William Kanter @ 'PlasticSurgeryProfessionals.com' for his credentials and couldn’t be more thankful. My daughter's results are flawless, self confidence regained, and outlook on life changed for the positive. I've never reviewed a health professional before but Dr. Kanter is the most skilled and selfless human you will ever have the privilege meeting. His care is unparallel because he is in it for the cause, and nothing compares with that! I could write a book about the great pre-op detail he examined before taking her on, and off-hours time spent postop

The ABSOLUTE BEST!
If there ever needed to be a definition for a physician who exemplifies all dynamics of the continuum of care for a patient, you would see Dr. William Kanter’s name. He masters both the patient experience and patient safety. He has the knowledge and skillset for the best outcomes for his patients while setting realistic expectations. I work in the medical field, and I have never met a kinder, more polite physician than Dr. Kanter. I had an abdominoplasty with Dr. Kanter two weeks ago and I feel great. Not only did Dr. Kanter continuously check in on me between visits, but he was also always available in case I needed him at any time, no question was too silly. I was and am so excited about the results Dr. Kanter delivered and would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Every visit and phone call were executed with the upmost respect and with his gentle demeanor. If you are looking for a surgeon who truly cares about his patients, look no further.

My son had a mole removed in December 2018 by Dr. William Kanter. It is now September 2021 and the mole is coming back. I think the scar that was left looked far worse than the original mole looked and now we have the same mole plus the scar! I wish I could leave a photo so those looking for a similar type of surgery might get a second opinion before assuming all the reviews online mean you'll also get an awesome result.

Dr. Kanter is INCREDIBLE!!! After having twins I had so much extra skin and diastases recti that no matter how much time I spent at the gym I couldn’t fix my abdominal region. Dr. Kanter performed an abdominoplasty surgery on me and I could t be happier with the results! My core engages again and the extra skin is removed and my abdominal area is flat! I had an idea of what I could look like post surgery but Dr. Kanter went above and beyond what I ever could have imagined. His steady hand and expertise is phenomenal. I can’t say enough fabulous, amazing, incredible things about Dr. Kanter and the work he does.

I came from Australia to have a procedure done on my face after visiting many many doctors in Australia and in USA , but Dr Kanter is in a league of his own. The results are more than what i was expecting and I am very delighted with the painless yet amazing work which he has performed. No one can tell that I had a procedure done with no visible sign of scars or stitch marks or redness, I am back to normal in no time high class professional work. His work ethics are incredible the way he stood with me after the surgery and waited for my pick up to come outside of the hospital then follow up calls on the same day was unheard off. Post opp visits were very precise friendly and removal of stitches process was zero pain. At the end I will send my any one of my circle of friends and family to him. The entire experience with him was magnificent. Thank you very much Dr. Kanter you are an incredible human being!!

I have never felt so cared for or confident in a medical provider in my entire life! Dr. Kanter has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field of plastic surgery. He is extremely gentle, thorough, careful, and cautious. His kind, friendly nature is really an added bonus to an already amazing physician. Dr. Kanter is in a league of his own...the exception, and not the rule. Simply put, he is a wonderful individual, both, professionally and personally. Strongly recommended!

I went to Dr. Kanter for rhinoplasty and he did an impeccable job. He performed the same procedure on my sister and after seeing what an exceptional job he did on her I decided to go to him too. From my consultation through post-op, it was an amazing experience thanks to Dr. Kanter. He was attentive, helpful, caring and the results were exactly what I wanted. I had minimal bleeding, barely any bruising or pain. I would 100% recommend him to anyone. I couldn't be happier with the results!

I absolutely love Dr.Kanter! I have been contemplating having a Tummy-tuck for the past 3 years. I went to see him and during our consultation,I knew I wanted him to do my procedure. He was very kind, patient and understanding. He also shared health considerations and stood is ground with me on the best way to carry out the procedure. I did as he instructed and it has been a perfect experience!!! I had my surgery 3 days ago and aside from expected swelling and discomfort, I feel and look great!!

I am so pleased with Dr. Kanter's skill and my outcome. He spent all the time I needed to explain my lower face lift procedure. I even went back a second time prior to surgery to hear it all again. Finding a plastic surgeon who will take their time to make sure that you are comfortable with the decision is great. Making sure that you have a surgeon who will take their time in the operating room is paramount. I am thrilled with the results!

Dr. Wm. Kanter is the only plastic surgeon I trusted to do my procedure. He's excellent, conscientious, and doesn't take shortcuts. He did my mother's facelift 20 years ago ,and still to this day, she has the most lovely neckline and refreshing, natural lift to her facial features without changing the Mom I know. This year I decided to have the procedure and am thrilled with the results! My grandmother's jowls are no longer there and I like what I see when I look in the mirror.

I strongly recommend Dr. Kanter and wish I had done this a couple of years ago. I just had lower blepharoplasty (eye lid) surgery with Dr. William Kanter two weeks ago and am so glad that I selected him for this procedure. The results are amazing and I couldn't be happier. Dr Kanter is a very skilled surgeon and easy to talk to. He genuinely wants the best for his patients and it shows. He made sure that I felt comfortable and knew what to expect at each step in the entire process.

Dr. Kanter was incredibly involved before, during and after my surgery. If I had any concerns I was able to talk to him or see him as soon as possible. He office staff was wonderful, kind, informative. It was a very comfortable experience. Even at the hospital, I could tell the nurses there respected him and his complete care philosophy. He was very honest about what he could and could not do. I would highly recommend him and his staff.
