Learn about the power of reconstructive surgery with one of Dr. Fernau's landmark cases: Tatjana, a ten-year-old girl from Russia, presented with one of the world's largest malignant melanomas (the largest at the time). In an operation that took over 28 hours, the tumor was completely removed and her scalp, which was largely dominated by the mass, was reconstructed. Fourteen years later, Tatjana remains cancer-free!

Had surgery preformed by Dr. Fernau 2 weeks ago to repair an indescribable scar that contained many adhesions. Initially he was not sure he was going to be able to do the procedure due to several complications that were involved. An MRI was done and he decided that he would take on my case. I just left his office and can’t believe what this amazing man was able to accomplish. He was able to free up skin that was adhering to my abdomen and revise a scar that has haunted me for 29 years. He is a true miracle worker and I wish I could leave him more than 5 stars. I will forever be thankful for what he was able to do for me. God bless for surgeons like him. Talented and the bedside manners that would make any mother proud.

Dr. Frenau and his staff are beyond 5 stars. From consult to post op appointments he and his staff were professional, kind, caring, and patient. My surgery was very long but he and his team did an incredible job. Dr. Fernau was always available to answer any questions and calm my nerves. If you’re looking for a doctor who does a great job and cares deeply about his work, he is definitely your guy!

Dr. Fernau and his team EXCEEDED my expectations. After my consultation, I was fully aware of what would be done and exactly how it would be done. My pre-operation instructions were very clear and thorough, allowing for the safest and most comfortable outcome. On operation day, I felt so confident and safe because of how the doctor and his team treated me. My initial recovery period was textbook and I truly believe it’s because Dr. Fernau goes above and beyond with his protocol to ensure the most optimal result for his clients. I experienced very little pain and zero complications. My week one and two post-operative appointments went smoothly because of how experienced and close-knit the doctor and his team are. They are all extremely down-to-earth, fun, yet very professional individuals that deserve 10 stars! The most exciting part about this experience to date was cast removal day. I was sure that my nose would still be so swollen and odd looking, but it looked AMAZING, even at just two weeks after my operation. My face looks so good and he did such a beautiful job at keeping my nose proportional to my face while giving me the nose of my dreams. This team knows what they’re doing and I would recommend them every single time.
