Credentials before convenience
Choose the surgeon first. Let geography come second.
When you search for a plastic surgeon, Arlington Heights results will show you plenty of options within a short radius. Distance is the least important thing on that list. What actually shapes your outcome is who holds the scalpel: their training, their board certification, and how many times they have planned a procedure like yours before.
Surgery is a one-time decision with a long-term result. A 15-minute drive, on the other hand, is a small variable. Fortunately, for Arlington Heights patients you rarely have to trade one for the other. Dr. Kapadia's Elk Grove Village office sits almost directly south of town, a straight run down Arlington Heights Road, so choosing based on qualifications does not mean giving up an easy commute for consultations and follow-up visits.
If you are comparing surgeons, we would encourage you to do exactly that. Verify certification. Look at before-and-after results. Meet the surgeon in person and see whether he listens. That comparison is one we welcome.
Why Credentials Matter
What "board-certified" actually tells you
Any licensed physician can legally call themselves a cosmetic surgeon. Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is different: it requires years of dedicated plastic surgery training and rigorous written and oral examination. It is the credential worth checking before anything else, and it is the standard Dr. Kapadia holds.

Common Questions
Arlington Heights patient FAQs
Do you have an office in Arlington Heights?
No, and we would rather be straightforward about that than imply otherwise. Dr. Kapadia sees northwest suburban patients at his Elk Grove Village office at 800 Biesterfield Rd #765, on the Ascension Alexian Brothers Medical Center campus. From most of Arlington Heights that is about a 15-minute drive straight south on Arlington Heights Road, with free parking when you arrive.
What happens at a consultation?
You meet with Dr. Kapadia himself, not only a coordinator. He listens to what you want to change, examines the areas involved, and explains which procedures can address them, along with realistic recovery expectations and pricing. You leave with a specific plan and time to think it over. There is no pressure to book surgery on the spot.
Which procedures do Arlington Heights patients most often ask about?
Mommy makeovers, tummy tucks, breast augmentation, and liposuction are the most frequent requests from the Arlington Heights area, followed by breast lifts, facelifts, and body contouring after major weight loss. Non-surgical visits such as Botox and dermal fillers are also common, since the office is close enough for a quick appointment.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. The practice works with third-party financing providers that allow qualified patients to spread the cost of surgery into monthly payments. Cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance, though certain procedures, such as panniculectomy, may qualify for coverage when medically necessary. You can review options on our financing page or ask the team during your visit.
How should I choose a plastic surgeon?
Start with board certification: confirm the surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which requires dedicated training and examination in plastic surgery specifically. Then study before-and-after photos of patients whose starting point resembles yours, and pay attention to how the consultation feels. A surgeon who listens carefully and is honest about limitations is telling you something important. Individual results may vary, so judge the pattern across many cases rather than any single photo.
