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.

First Class Results and Service
Dr. Schantz and the team were so helpful at my first visit. They made me feel at ease and took their time to answer all of my questions. They did a fantastic job making sure I was informed and prepared for my procedure. I am so happy with my results and the follow-up is excellent. Dr. Schantz called me personally the day after my surgery (Saturday). I couldn’t be more impressed with the high-quality results and service. Thank you.

The Absolute BEST
Dr. Schantz is one of the most personable people I have ever met. I immediately liked him and appreciate his honesty and obvious passion for his field. My surgery went smoothly and I'm ecstatic with the results. Also, I want to mention the office and nursing staff: Angel, Brandi, Amy, Reagan, Kinsey, Carrie-they are absolute DOLLS and they make you feel completely comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Schantz and his staff every single time!

Superior service!
First, it goes without saying that Waldman-Schantz plastic Surgery has a state of the art facility.The front Office staff is professional and quick to get you checked in. I have always been seen in a timely fashion.Dr. Schantz met with me and I received his undivided attention. He was a good listener to all of my concerns and we discussed several different options. For a treatment plan. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction. The procedure was explained through, executed, beautifully, and my recovery which without incident.It has been almost a year Since my surgery, and I am elated with the results! I recommend them without reservation!

Abdominoplasty mastopexy
Dr. Schantz from my very first visit took his time with me and explained the steps in the procedures that I wanted to have done. Once the procedures were scheduled the nurse was always a phone call away for any questions I had for them. Procedure day, the anesthesiologist and Dr. Schantz once again took their time with me explaining again everything that would be happening during the procedure. Post op, I only needed any hour to recover before being released to be taken home. Recovering at home instructions were very specifically laid out and if I had any questions, the nurses were a phone call away. One week post op, I am completely please with the work Dr. Schantz did on me. I’m still healing but he just from one week, I can tell the work is non less than perfect. You can go wrong by choosing this practice for any plastic procedure. Very professional, caring, and exhibits the human kindness we all wish to have from our doctors.

BA- Tummy tuck
Scheduling an appointment was fast and easy. He listened and answered all my questions. He really knows his stuff! Bed side manners are great. Staff is very friendly. I just can’t say enough good things about this doctor, he’s hands down the best plastic surgeon in Ky! He was always available to answer any questions I had or anything I needed. He didn’t have a nurse call me he was available himself.

I had been waiting for the surgery for so long. My day finally came, and Dr. Schantz and his team were nothing short of fabulous. So nice, friendly, informative, professional without throwing it in your face, respectful beyond belief. They took great care of me while I was on recovery and I was pleasantly surprised.

Great, but Beware
Dr. Schantz himself is awesome. He is a really great surgeon. He is thorough, extremely experienced, and non-judgmental. Perhaps a bit rushed. If you are even considering seeing him, I would go ahead and get on the books. His tummy tucks schedule over a year out. He travels a lot (I noticed from asking about dates), which made me nervous he might not even be here if I had an issue. The office environment (while decorated beautifully) feels very off. It is easy to schedule a consultation or surgery, but hard to get ahold of someone if you need a prescription renewed or a doctor's note. Some of the office staff felt very fake nice. The practice cannot seem to keep anyone employed for more than a couple of months. I made a joke about always seeing someone new, and I could tell by the girl's reaction that it is not a fun place to work.

EXCEPTIONALLY talented, professional, & attentive
Love! Love! Love! I love everything about my experience with Dr. Schantz and his team! The entire office has AMAZING customer service, SUPER ATTENTIVE to their patients! A few things I have loved: they treat you like family and make you feel special; minimal wait periods for apts or anything really; super quick response times to questions, phone calls, emails, and requests; exceptional care both physically and emotionally; and Dr. Schantz is EXCEPTIONALLY talented, professional, and produces amazing results with a high level of patient care. His nursing staff?!?! Special thanks to Nurse Jaime for her honesty, care, coaching, reassurance, and friendship! YOU WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND! I am so grateful for you!! Thank you to Nurse Tessa for extending my care "friend" team after my procedure. You ladies are an asset to and compliment the care level achieved at Waldman, Schantz, and Turner. I am so pleased with my experience and care. Thank you, Dr. Shantz and Team! I highly recommend.

Very good experience
I am a week post breast reduction/lift. I am very pleased so far with my results. Most importantly the follow up of the staff and Dr. Schantz has been amazing. I have been guided through this entire process wonderfully. I am excited to see the final results as my incisions heal and fade. I would highly recommend Dr. Schantz and his team . If I ever consider another type of procedure I will be calling his office for sure.
