Our Staff

With over 15 years of plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Robert Kagan is well known and respected in the Chicago area, and beyond. In our office doctor focuses his skills and expertise on patient safety, comfort
and positive outcomes. His cosmetic procedures are ranked as some of the best in the nation. He prides himself on meeting or exceeding the patients’ realistic expectations. He spends as much time as the patient needs to explain the procedure, the possible outcome, the risks and possible complications.

I am very excited about the staff and facilities at Physicians Cosmetic and Hair Institute, not only are we JACHO certified, which means that we have to meet the exacting standards of hospital based operating rooms, " Dr Kagan Says " our staff is caring and experienced".

Most of our patients comment on Dr. Kagans' conservative approach on his procedures. He is very easy to communicate with, " Every time I visit a doctors office my blood pressure jumps and I get really nervous", commented a recent patient, "but Dr. Kagan never make me feel that way. He is easy to talk to and I feel like he wants me to ask questions. I have always known that he would tell me instantly if what I wanted was not possible. I want to know what I can expect not what he thinks I want to hear".

Dr. Harry Springer, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, brings over 30 years experience to the operating table. Dr. Springer's focus is on the breast and body, using the newest techniques and technologies. "The first office visit I establish a rapport with the patient" says Dr. Springer. "I encourage patients to ask questions and I give them honest answers."

One recent patient said "I have several friends that have had breast augmentation. My plan was to go to all of their doctors and decide who I liked best. My decision was easy - they all gave me Dr. Springer's name!"

Dr. Springer's work can be seen all over the Midwest and beyond. Patients are happy to travel for great results and a caring doctor.

Stefan Mark Szczerba, MD

As one of Chicago's few plastic surgeons with subspecialty training in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in addition to traditional Reconstructive Plastic Surgery his practice encompasses both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery for men and women. Dr. Szczerba focuses on cosmetic surgery of the eyes, nose, face, breast and body and he brings that specialty to reconstructive surgery.

Besides tiny touch ups with Botox and other filler injections, Dr. Szczerba routinely performs "Extreme Makeover" surgery in stages for patients who have lost significant weight. This gives patients a "one stop shop" for plastic surgery expertise for not only cosmetic surgery of the eyes, nose and face, but breast area and full body too!

Dr. Szczerba uses unique, minimally invasive techniques to release wrinkles and then uses the fat grafting techniques from his training in New York and Atlanta to plump up the cheeks and lips giving a very natural full, youthful look to your face. He can also use that technique to change or enhance most curves on your body.
