Within that environment, the practice has earned sustained recognition for both medical care and patient experience. David Shifrin was named Top Plastic Surgeon in the Chicago region by HealthTap in 2012 and 2013, and also received the Patient’s Choice Award and Most Compassionate Doctor Award from American Registry in 2012, 2013, and 2014. Those distinctions point to a combination that defines the practice: technical credibility paired with a notably compassionate bedside manner.

A particular area of visibility has been buttocks reshaping. In 2020, Shifrin was featured in Chicago magazine as a beauty guru in that specialty, reflecting a reputation that extends beyond routine recognition and into a more defined aesthetic niche. That same area of expertise was affirmed on a professional stage when David Shifrin lectured at the 2018 American Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting in Chicago as an expert on buttocks reshaping.

The practice has also maintained a consistent public profile in Chicago magazine’s Professional Profiles, appearing in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Across those years of recognition, the core identity remains steady: a Chicago plastic surgery practice known for pairing accomplished cosmetic work with an environment that feels composed, compassionate, and genuinely patient-centered.
