Dr. Kontis's Testimonials

"What can one say about a person who has given you back your life and self-esteem? Ten years ago Dr. Kontis and I met under the most devastating of circumstances. I was diagnosed with skin cancer and underwent MOHS surgery, during which my entire nose was removed. Upon that occasion Dr. Kontis was recommended as the facial plastic surgeon of choice and the doctor that could fix the damage that had been done. What a very lucky day that was for me! The day of surgery began a long and yes, arduous recovery but it also began what I consider a long and lasting friendship with someone who is an expert and leader in her field of facial plastic surgery and who is a wonderful and caring human being. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better for me. Dr. Kontis is a very, very special person who gives and gives and then gives some more. The results of her work have been simply outstanding and I am so very thankful that one moment in time brought us together."

"Dear Dr. Kontis,:

This is just a quick note to thank you for all your efforts on my father’s behalf. You took the time to look at him even though his ailments were not in your area of expertise.

You literally saved the day and my father and I are most grateful"

"Dear Dr. Kontis,

Saying thank you does not seem quite adequate for the changes you and your staff have made in my life during the past year. When I think back to how I looked last year pre-surgery, I can’t believe the positive changes. THANK YOU DR. KONTIS!! And I would be remiss in not mentioning your office staff. Thanks to all of you for always being very friendly and accommodating."

A TRIBUTE TO DOCTOR THEDA C. KONTIS

I tried exercise; I tried lotions and creams, but I knew I needed something more to build up my fading self esteem,

I felt fine; my doctors said I was in good health; yet every time I looked at my face in the mirror, I wanted to scream.

Then I met Doctor Kontis(at Timonium Fair); she was kind and patient and her qualifications were impressive,

So, I thought and I prayed; I put my hand in the hand of God and Doctor Kontis and then I became more aggressive.

She said to start with the Obagi facial treatments until I decided what to do,

I talked and talked and questioned and questioned; she listened, explained, and comforted; she walked me through

Today, two weeks after surgery, those that know, say that I look twenty years younger; others think that I lost weight,

I’ve been told more changes are forthcoming; that I have a whole year to heal and I look forward to that date.

Thank you so very much Doctor Theda C. Kontis, for you have lessened so much of my strife,

It is impossible to adequately thank you for giving me A NEW LEASE ON LIFE

"My primary care physician referred me to Dr. Kontis for a surgical consult because I was the victim of an unprovoked and brutal assault. I called her office and she saw the next day outside normal office hours due to the severity of my injuries. After confirming surgery was necessary to repair multiple nasal fractures, Dr. Kontis insisted my ophthalmologist examine me for possible eye injuries due to the brutality of the assault. She called him herself and made an appointment for me the next day.

Dr. Kontis called me at home the night before the scheduled surgery and said it was cancelled due to a power outage at the hospital because of extensive storm damage. She assured me that my surgery would take place the next day and she would find an available OR. Dr. Kontis called the morning of surgery, said she found an highly experienced anesthesiologist willing to come to her office and the surgery would be performed there.

I came for my surgery and was immediately impressed with the professionalism, compassion and kindness of her staff. Dr. Kontis was waiting for me and surgery performed shortly after my arrival without complications.

When Dr. Kontis removed the splint during my first post-op visit, I knew immediately from her warm smile that she was pleased with the results and the surgery was a success.

A sincere thank-you to Dr. Kontis for your superb surgical skills that restored my appearance and to your staff for exceptional patient care. I wrote several months post-op because I wanted to include that my assailant entered a guilty plea at the criminal trial and his sentence included 10 years in prison for felony first-degree assault."
