Talented Artist

Excellent experience and outstanding results!!! Dr. Barttelbort and his team are extremely compassionate and make you feel comfortable every step of the process. Lorena and Tanya are always so welcoming with smiles (even under their COVID masks) I really appreciate that they were very accommodating to my schedule. Huge thanks to Donna and Kristi for taking such excellent care of me during my pre/post care appointments! Their bedside manner is similar to Dr. Barttelbort's, very gentle and caring! You can tell that this office makes a great team and everyone is passionate about their career!Dr. Barttelbort took the time to really help understand what I wanted to achieve as a patient. I had a very complex history of breast surgeries which began years ago with breast implants that were too large for my frame. Immediately Dr. Barttelbort recognized that this was an issue not only aesthetically but medically as well. From the moment I met Dr. Barttelbort I knew he was not only an artist but genuinely a compassionate surgeon. He gave me results that were far beyond what I had expected.I've had multiple surgeries with Dr. Bartellbort to help correct my past surgical experience and all of them have been A+ I would highly recommend him to my family and best friends!

Extremely happy

Words cannot express the sincere admiration I have for Doctor Barttelbort. He’s extremely professional, honest and caring. If there’s a procedure I’m interested in and he fills I don’t need it, he’ll tell me so. I’m a stage 4 Breast Cancer survivor and I went to him to see if he could correct a terrible reconstruction surgery I had. OMG, his work is amazing. I’m so thankful I found him and would trust him wholeheartedly with my life. PS: His nurse Donna who does Botox and filler injections is an artist at what she does and is very professional and caring. I would recommend Doctor Scott Barttelbort to my friends and anyone who asked me for an outstanding plastic surgeon. Thank you, Melanie

Look No Further: Dr. Scott Barttelbort is Hands Down the Best Cosmetic Surgeon You Will Ever Find

There are not enough superlatives in the language to capture the absolute excellence of Dr. Scott Barttelbort. He the most skilled cosmetic surgeon -- I am six weeks out of facelift with fat transfer with him and I am so very pleased, even thrilled, with the results. Dr. B is an artist, an artistic genius; his anesthetic eye intuits what a patient will look and feel like many weeks and months following surgery. Beyond these already superb qualifications, Dr. Barttelbort is as real and authentic a human being as any I've known -- he is kind and tender, a gentle man; he truly "sees" his patients and speaks to them with directness, honesty, and compassion. The result is that patients are in exceptionally qualified hands. I love my face -- at 60, it had begun to look drawn and somewhat hollow. Everyone thinks I look great but no one can tell that I've had "work done," so natural and so soft is my face now. Dr. Barttelbort's work and his care have been life-changing: my face now shines with the heart and passion and energy I feel inside.

68 Year Old Female Who Wants to Look Her Best and Exercise Doesn't Touch.

My visit with Dr. B was to find out if I could do anything about the fat around my arm pits, upper arms and back (bra) fat. We discussed options (lipo or coolscuplting) and I choose cool sculpting as I didn't want to have surgery. It was easy, quick (1 hr. per area) and no down time with little discomfort. I am very happy with the results so far and it's been 3 months. My final check will be after 4 months and I'm looking forward to the before and after pictures.

My Rhinoplasty Story

I had always wanted to have a consult for a Rhinoplasty. Upon hearing about Dr. Barttelborts' exceptional work I decided I was ready to go through with this procedure. Every step of this experience was done flawlessly. Now that it has been done I always say I should have done it so much sooner! I have had multiple people compliment my "perfect" nose. Most recently I had a professional makeup artist tell me "I do not even need to contour your nose, it is already so perfect". Thank you Dr. B & staff for a wonderful/comfortable experience all around.

Breast Reduction

21 Year Old Breast Reduction

Dr. Barttelbort and his staff are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I have suffered with back pain and discomfort for a few years now, and have lost weight yet remained large busted. After seeing such unbelievable results with my older sister, I decided that it was time to make my boob size a little bit more manageable. Even though I am a college student studying in the midwest, Dr. Barttelbort's office was extremely accommodating and found time in their packed schedule to fit me in whenever I had the chance to come home prior to the scheduled operation--they even opened the office for me during a holiday, so that they could meet with me to run through the entire process and to gauge what I really wanted out of the operation. Their friendliness and kind nature continued past the surgery as well. I came in for weekly appointments where they were ready to see me the minute I entered the room. I was always comfortable with and confident in their decisions. Dr. Barttelbort is gentle and reassuring. He and his nurses are extremely skilled and beyond genuine--they truly want what is best for you and are with you every step of the way. Dr. Barttelbort took me from about a GG to about a D and I could not be more satisfied with the way everything has turned out. His technique is impeccable--the cuts/scars are healing very well, but I never even have to worry about them potentially showing because the cut runs only under the breasts and does not carry onto the sides. Instead of looking like a smiley face the cut is so small it look more like an L shape. If you want a genuine, honest, hardworking, and caring staff, who produce beautiful results, this is the place for you.

Michelle Ferris

47 Year Old Bag Lady!

When I went in for my consultation with doctor Barttlelbort, I looked like I had recently lost a lot of weight because the bags under my eyes folded over. I knew that I need to have the blephotoplasty to remove the folding skin. Dr. Barttelbort suggested that I add the fat transfer to add fullness to my face. I am so glad that I listened to his professional advice. Not only are my bags gone but the fat transfer has taken at least 10 years off my age. I was very ready to have the procedure done when I met the doctor. I had budget in mind and the price of the surgery was very close to what I had anticipated. I wanted to do everything he suggested right away so that I could enjoy the full effect of my surgery while I was still young. Now I will have many years to enjoy my new look without any bags and very few wrinkles. I am so thankful to Dr. Barttelbort and his entire staff. They made the entire experience simple. I had two simple appointments before my surgery. One was the first time we met and he made recommendations on which procedures I should have. The second was my pre-op appointment. All of my blood work was completed at the same hospital that his office is in. My surgery was in the same hospital also. After my surgery, he was available on a Friday night by phone to answer a question I had and met with us at his office on a Saturday morning to reassure us everything was good. I had two follow up appointments that week. His staff was kind and professional. They treated me like a part of their family. They were extremely excited for me which was so refreshing.

"Fifty and Feeling So Thankful After a Much Needed Breast Reduction!!!"

From the moment my husband and I stepped into Dr. Barttelbort's office I was at ease. Every member of his incredible team was warm, friendly, and very professional. My initial consultation for my breast reduction was very thorough and we had all of our questions answered. I felt like Dr. B really understood and listened to me. After my consultation we felt confident with the choice for surgery and we completely understood the recovery process. It has been 5 weeks since my surgery and I would highly recommend Dr. B!!!! This surgery has changed my life already! I can breath better, I have so much less weight on my chest, I am more confident, I love trying on tops now, I don't have indentations on my shoulders anymore, and I am really excited about being able to move my body better and to start working out in the future. Dr. B is the most meticulous surgeon and I completely understand why he is the most sought after Plastic Surgeon. My breasts look incredible and they are the right proportion for my body. I already get emotional thinking about "what if" I didn't do this surgery, I would have so many regrets. I could not be happier with my decision and I love referring my family and close friends to a surgeon that is so excellent in every area of care. I can truly say that my best days are ahead of me and I am excited about my future!
