Dr Braithwaite is very down-to-earth and easy going, I have always felt very comfortable in his presence. He is not pushy to make money, he genuinely cares about the health of his patients, and makes recommendations based on what is best for the patient, not what will produce the largest bill. He has taken great care of me over the years. He is highly skilled and I’m very happy with my results.

Dr.Braithwaite made my first experience with Botox and filler so amazing ! I was put at ease with his spectacular bed side manner . He explained in detail to me how , why and what to expect with Botox and filler as I’m a newbie. I’m travel nursing , he even took his valuable time to help me research another plastic surgeon to do my tummy tuck closer to my home . I feel like I have developed a friendship with only two visits !!! I’m very happy with my results !!! Erin at the front desk is awesome as well nice facility too 20 stars !!

Dr. Braithwaite is the best plastic surgeon I have ever seen. From the first time I saw him for my initial consultation I was very impressed with his knowledge and expertise. He was so patient and took the time to answer all of my questions and I had a lot. I recently underwent liposuction on my arms, and I was extremely nervous because I was doing it awake. I was so glad this option was available because I didn't want the extra risks associated with anesthesia after having somewhat of a bad experience before. Dr. Braithwaite and his staff were so patient and assured me of what was going

Couldn't be happier with the Botox I've received from Dr. Braithwaite. Always a pleasure to go in for my appointments, he always takes the time to explain processes and reasons for treatments. I appreciate the time he takes in each appointment for interaction versus rushing from room to room. Highly recommend him!

Dr. Braithwaite is an exceptional doctor. He listens to his patients, and offers expert advice. He's a doctor who puts his patients at ease with friendly conversation.
I've had a consistently positive experience, Dr. B made my acne scars disappear (I've tried every treatment under the sun - Co2 laser, microneedling, microdermabrasion, chemical peels) in two appointments. 10/10

Long overdue review!! Dr Braithwaite is an absolute artist. Amazing bedside manner to match. I went to see him for my first injections of Botox and filler about 2 years ago and I've been so happy with my results. He is so careful to not recommend anything that will not be beneficial. Definitely has a less is more approach which I love for a natural look. I would not trust my face with anyone else!!

I don't have enough good things to say about Dr. Braithwaite and his team. Such kind, attentive and knowledgeable people. Dr Braithwaite has given me everything I wanted and then some, I love my new look and my confidence is over the top. They're extremely affordable which is great as well. He did a great job with my tear trough filler, boxtox, and lip filler. I've been telling all my friends they NEED to go. I wouldn't dream of letting anyone else do my injections ever again

I've been considering having breast augmentation for well over 10 years but my fears of possible complications stopped me from doing it sooner. I've had 5 consultations with top plastic surgeons in the Chicago land area but Dr. Cobbins was the only one who took the time to talk to me about all of my concerns (and I had a lot!) I never felt rushed and I felt really comfortable. She's very personable and knowledgeable, I had no doubts that she was the right choice for me. My procedure went really well and I'm beyond happy with my results.

My review isn't based off of a service or treatment I received at the clinic. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to get anything done including a consultation. I called to inquire about a consultation and they charge $100. This is annoying because so many clinics and offices do not charge anything for this, but I agreed. I work Monday - Friday, 9-5, you know pretty standard schedule, and they do not do consultations on the weekends or past 6pm. So to me that says you have to pay for something and miss time from work for it too. Yeah it's a no from me. They need to be more

I picked this place because it had the best reviews in Chicago and it lived up to the hype. I am giving 4 stars because of lateness. They promised they'd call me if the doctor was running late and they didn't - I found out when I arrived. However, the clinical experience was outstanding. The doctor listened to my concerns, explained the procedure, answered my questions, and spent extra time with me. And I am very satisfied with the outcome.

Dr. Braithwaite is phenomenal! He is a perfectionist and pays great attention to every detail. Whether you see him for something as simple as botox or as invasive as liposuction, you will be very satisfied! He takes his time at each appointment and holds all of his patients in high regards!
Will keep coming back! Thank you Dr.B!!

So this is my personal experience. I got lip injections, my female doctor was lovely but I feel as if it was a waste of money and it was definitely not cheap. There really wasn't much of a difference and I have a really bad bump next to my Cupid's bow from the injections that still hasn't gone away and is very noticeable especially when I smile. UPDATE: She did inject to get the bump off but that also made my lips less full so I still wouldn't go back.

My review is actually for Dr. Cobbins at this same practice.
Almost 1 year after my original BA I am still so thrilled I went with Dr. Cobbins. She was very realistic but also open with me and what I wanted. I always felt taken care of and like I could ask questions. She did a wonderful job addressing my partner's questions too since he would be helping with my aftercare. There was a minor complication that developed preventing my right side from dropping as it should, and Dr. Cobbins was very supportive and proactive about doing a crease revision and I was only charged a partial fee for

I had a very ugly scar due to a previous surgery done elsewhere. It took me 10 years to decide to risk corrective surgery.
My daughter found Dr. Braithwaite for me, and,based on his reviews I made an appointment.
I am so happy with the whole experience. Besides being a brilliant surgeon, Dr. Braithwaite is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Even the surgery was fun, as we chatted during the whole thing, which was performed in the office.
The office is clean and pleasant. There is free parking. The staff is wonderful.
My ugly scar is gone! I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking

Dr. Cobbins is amazing! She took time to explain things in detail,encouraged questions and provided honest and genuine answers. Obviously, I was a little nervous, but after spending just a few minutes with her, my nerves were calmed and I felt 100% comfortable.
I will definitely be back to see Dr. Cobbins and would definitely recommend anyone looking for an excellent doctor to make an appointment with her.
Thanks Dr.!

Without a doubt, this is the most personal review I have ever posted and likely ever will post, but I think that it should be known just how amazing Dr. Braithwaite is as a physician.
After years of considering breast reduction surgery and even more months of researching doctors in Chicago, I narrowed my consults down to two doctors--Dr. Braithwaite and another doctor in town. While the other doctor was a fantastic doctor in his own right, I just didn't feel the energy I needed to feel when putting my life and breasts in someone else's hands.
