Mia E Skourtis, MD

Dr. Skourtis was recommended to me by a Dr. and hospital nurses. I went to her for a consultation about multiple facial procedures that I had had done by another plastic surgeon in town. She spent about 30 minutes with me explaining recovery, answering my questions, evaluating problems and reassuring me. How I wish I had her perform my surgery. She even gave me printed instructions to take home. What a great experience!

I have had an absolutely ideal experience working with this doctor. She listens and communicates well and her results are top quality. Highly recommend!

Contrary to the other review, I have found Dr Skourtis and her staff to be courteous, knowledgable, and skilled. I work at a hospital where Dr Skourtis practices, and her patients love her. I have also used her for a procedure and am very happy with the results! Please take the advice of this RN and consider using Dr Skourtis as your surgeon, you will be very happy with the results!

Maybe it should have been a red flag that this doctor needs to advertise, run specials and give free consultations. Maybe it should have been an even bigger red flag when I noticed the front desk secretary to have a scary, botched-​looking face lift. Either way… I went in for a consultation for a somewhat rare procedure (repairing earlobes that have been stretched for aesthetic reasons using large wooden discs.) I asked questions regarding procedure, scarring, etc.
The doctor claimed to have done «dozens» of this type of procedure, but was only able to produce 3 photographs of completed earlobe reconstructions… all extremely blurry. I asked whether that was all she had, and the secretary told me yes, but was very rude about it, just citing the fact that Dr. Skourtis went to Stanford as the reason why she’s «the best», and that’s all I need to know. Maybe if I was an idiot, that’s all that would matter?
After talking with a friend and deciding that I was comfortable enough with what I DID see to go for it, I made an appointment to have the procedure done. I was rudely told by the secretary that the «special» for 15% off she had running on her website was only for larger procedures. That was not stated on the site (can you say bait-​and-​switch?) but whatever… I made the appointment anyway because I wanted to get it done. About a week later, I received a voicemail. NOT a voicemail asking for a callback so they could talk to me in person… but a voicemail from the secretary telling me that Dr. Skourtis decided not to do my procedure because I «asked a lot of questions» and was «concerned about scarring». She said there are other plastic surgeons in Portland and she cancelled my appointment.
Seriously, how unprofessional can you get? I have never in my life been told that asking questions was a negative thing. Good and confident doctors welcome questions… that is a fact. I highly recommend AGAINST this practice.
