“never waited more than ten minutes to see the doctor and most importantly he saved my nose after another doctor who claimed to be an expert on nose surgery took great pictures but the results had no resemblance to the photos he gave me.”

The truth - he is a fantastic doctor!. I never usually write on these blogs, but I felt I had to because some of these comments are ridiculous. After having my second child, I wanted to repair my breasts. I also have always been an A-cup and after breast feeding, the shape of my breasts had also changed. I did my surgery with Dr. Pensler and am very glad I did. Aside from great results, he is very professional. Considering surgery can sometimes be scary, and I wanted a Dr who told me the facts, not someone who promised me the world. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Pensler with a guarantee that they will be glad they went to him. It is too bad people write such bizarre reviews in hopes of some personal gain. My mother-in-law had her facelift done with Dr. Pensler as well (b/c I loved my experience!) and I told her to write her review too. The truth needs to come out – he is a fantastic doctor!

Nice Experience. Halo this is Lisa Wills a 24 year woman with some problem with my extra fat. I have consulted many doctor. Then one of my friend told me about Dr. Pensler and she also told that she got a good result after having treatment from Dr. Pensler.

So I visited Dr. Pensler and I have found that he is a proper gentleman and his behaviour is very nice with the patient. He told me about how we are getting extra fat and how can we reduce it.

After a small surgery I am stunned. I am unable to recognize myself. The extra pound had been gone. I had to buy new cloths for me. And I am feeling more agile than ever. Everybody loves my new look. MY parents, my friends, my collegues, my Boyfriend. And I am too much happy with my perfect figure. Thanks to Dr. Pensler.

Dr. Pensler is the best person for plastic surgery I have ever known. So my suggetion is that if anybody needs to remove her extra fat then you should obviously go to Dr. Pensler. Thank you Dr. Pensler.

A Really Great Experience. I am a 25 year old female and decided to get a breast augmentation and a nose job (rhinoplasty). I spoke to all of my friends who had had surgery with different doctors, looked online at different websites, read reviews, and had consultation appointments with six different doctors (i wanted to get the right guy!!). I basically wanted a top doctor and results that looked natural. I did not want scarring on my breasts, and I wanted a new nose, but one that still fit with my face.

My consultation with Dr. Pensler was by far my favorite. As everyone else says, the staff is very nice and very professional. I guess where my review differs from the others is that my results were fantastic! They were really exactly what I wanted.

My breasts are the perfect size and I had MINIMAL scarring, which was my top priority. My nose is definitely new, but it matches SO WELL with the rest of my face. My family loves it, my friends love it, my boyfriend loves it, and I am sooo happy!

The one thing that I would say to perspective patients is that Dr. Pensler is very honest, and its important that you be honest with him. I came in telling him which celebrities had my favorite noses and breast sizes. He made it VERY clear to me that a nose is individual per each face and that he isn't a surgeon that will replicate another person's nose onto you if that isn't going to look natural. He told me (very nicely haha) that if I wanted that result, it was fine, but he wouldn't be the right doctor for me. I went home, talked with my family and thought about it. Ultimately, I decided that the best nose for my face was obviously what I wanted and I went back and went through with both surgeries.

The staff care was great (as everyone says) and my post-appointments and results were really really great! I'm really glad I went through with the surgery, and Dr. Pensler was definitely the right surgeon for me!

So overall: my experience was so great! My results couldn't be better and I am so happy!

To anyone: make a consultation appointment, and be honest. Dr. Pensler will tell you if you will get the results you are looking for, and then YOU can decide to take it from there!!

Please go elsewhere.. This is the truth. For years I have been waiting the day I could get my nose fixed. I have had a larger nose, and a rather large bump. I went on the internet and typed in Chicago land doctors. The first doctor I saw was Dr. Pensler. I looked through a few websites reading about him and everything seemed really impressive. I then quickly rushed to make an appt. Like others said, he seemed perfect. Spent time with me, said rhinoplasty was his favorite procedure and so on. Also in his office there were all these plaques on the wall saying he was a top surgeon,he had went to some very impressing schools..etc. Look I bought it all. It was the scariest thing for me, because for years I have been waiting for this procedure . Well day came of the surgery and everything seemed alright. Days passed I was pretty swollen, but couldn't see much because of the splint. I kept looking at the only part I could see and it looked exactly like my old nose. Before the procedure my mother and I stated exactly what I wanted and I should of know then. He turned to me and said he was going to make the tip how he thought would fit me. He was not going to give me a little itty bitty nose, because it would not look on me and he refused to do that. I don't know why and as stupid as it sounds I continued with the procedure. One week went by until the splint was to be removed. My mother went with me. He removed the splint and it was a shock because the bump was yes indeed gone but the tip of my nose was exactly the same... EXACTLY THE SAME... BIG!! My mom could not help to say something..and when she did..oh god, it was all over. He no joke started to scream at her!! Say she knew nothing to and leave immediately. My mother did not even raise her voice at him, she simply said Dr. we are not happy with the results and went crazy!! For the next year I came alone to all my visits. Believing the lies he told me every single time..we would meet for about 2 minutes at the most and he would say "yes it's still swollen" every single time. After a year passed and nothing went down on my nose..but according to him it was swollen...it looked the same for the entire year. Im not a very outspoken person and I do not stick up for myself so for the year I prayed he was right that it was only "swollen" and it would chance. IT WAS ALL A LIE. I couldn't say anything to him.. because I was terrified he would explode on me as he did my mother. A year passed and I finally as quietly and calmly as possible, I said Dr.. the tip is just a little to big for my liking..you said if I didnt like my results you would fix it for free. He said you know what you are right I will fix the tip it is a little larger then my liking. I told him again how I wanted it and he AGAIN said he refused to give me a little nose it did not fit me!! I was desperate at this time and just wanted the nose I dreamed of. I again let him do the procedure again after waiting a year. I wore the splint.. i bruised..etc. The splint was removed.. and the result was ... THE SAME!! Listen when I say this... he DID NOT take any off the tip.. my nose looks EXACTLY THE SAME. My family.. my friends.. my bf could not tell not a single difference. Its been six months since my SECOND procedure and occurding to him ohhh itll go down alot its still swollen.. but im telling you.. there is NO DIFFERENCE!!! Listen this is the truth and i ADVISE YOU please please DO NOT SEE THIS DR..STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! I hope you al the best you has encountered this doctor and really taken what I said serious.

A True Professional. I came to Dr. Pensler after consulting my dermatologist for a removal of a skin tag. He was recommended by my dermatologist for his expertise in preventing scarring. That he recommended a biopsy of the skin removed demonstrated to me that he really cares about his patients. He took his time, and there is no hint of where the skin tag used to be. I found him to be very professional and very caring. I would recommend him to anyone looking for those qualities in a cosmetic surgeon.
