Dr. J. Anthony Stephens, a Baton Rouge native, graduated from Louisiana State University Medical School in 1991. He began his medical career at Charity Hospital in New Orleans and completed his Plastic Surgery Fellowship from 1996 to 1998. In 1998, he opened his private practice in Baton Rouge.
Dr. Stephens began his career as a general surgeon, drawn to the creativity and problem-solving of the specialty. This passion for thinking outside the box led him to plastic surgery, where he can make a noticeable difference in his patients’ lives. Dr. Stephens offers a holistic approach, emphasizing personalized care and patient education. Dr. Stephens under-promises and over-delivers, ensuring patients are good candidates for treatment and referring patients to specialists when appropriate. Outside of work, Dr. Stephens enjoys flying his WWII Stearman airplane, skiing, golfing, and spending time on the water with his wife, Karen, and their children.
Our team is the heartbeat of our practice, bringing together decades of specialized experience under one roof. From our advanced aesthetic injectors to our attentive surgical staff, every member of the Stephens team is committed to your safety and comfort.
We believe in building long-term relationships. Our patients are treated like family and have direct access to Dr. Stephens — we even make nightly calls to surgical patients. By combining clinical precision with a warm, Southern approach, we ensure that your experience is as rewarding as your results.
We believe that world-class results require a world-class environment. Our on-site surgical center has been a fixture of the Baton Rouge community for 40 years and maintains rigorous AAAASF accreditation. This allows us to perform both surgical and non-surgical treatments in a private, sterile, and comfortable setting that you are already familiar with. By keeping your care under one roof, we provide a seamless experience where safety is never compromised, and your privacy is always a top priority.
