 The goal of Dr. J. Anthony Stephens is to provide each patient with the best experience all around, including the consultation, the surgery and post-operative care.
People of all ages are extremely interested in improving their personal health, appearance and mental wellness. As providing your body and mind with proper nutrition and exercise is a great way to achieve this, another option to gain balance between outer appearance and inner youth is cosmetic surgery.
The term plastic surgery comes from the Greek word "plastikos," which means to mold or to give form. Plastic surgeons are the sculptors of the human form.
Having cosmetic surgery can be a very rewarding procedure in a person's life. At the same time, it can also be rather stressful. Our friendly and professional staff are sensitive to your feelings and desires. We are here to assure your experience is the best it can possibly be. We pride ourselves with the ability to welcome and comfort each and every patient. It is important to us that all our patients understand every aspect of their surgery.
Initial Consultation
In your private consultation, you will meet one on one with Dr. Stephens so you can explain to him what you are looking for and to ask a variety of questions. Dr. Stephens will review your medical history and ask you questions in order to understand your condition, goals and concerns.

Photo Policy
Photographs are an extremely important part of Dr. Stephens practice.

We do not post patient photographs on-line in the interest of protecting the privacy of Dr. Stephens patients. Many patients have completed photographic consent forms giving us permission to use their photos for education. Therefore upon consultation, patients may view books containing before/after results of procedural photographs in the privacy of their exam rooms.

I am truly pleased with choosing Dr. Stephens as my surgeon and I will be sure to recommend him to everyone!
Thank you.
