I had decided for my birthday that I was going to gift myself some Botox! After doing as millennials do (i.e. going to Google and Reddit to research and find recommendations), I chose Dr. Fernau's office. I was not looking for the cheapest or closest option -- I wanted the best. I liked the idea of a facial plastic surgeon taking care of my Botox -- I didn't think I would be pressured to do more than I was comfortable, and I wanted natural results. From inquiry to scheduling to the actual appointment, everything was easy and the staff is so kind! Sheila performed my procedure, and she walked me through what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. I'm only two days post-procedure, and I can already tell a difference -- it's very subtle, I feel like I still completely look like me, but refreshed. 10/10 recommend a birthday gift to yourself of Botox, and 10/10 recommend seeing Sheila, Dr. Fernau, and team! I will definitely be returning! More

I have been coming to Dr Fernau for years for injectables. I have had such a positive experience, as well as really wonderful results! The staff are very friendly and will put you at ease (Shelia, Cynthia, Alana come to mind, but all have been great). I'm soon to be 53 and genetics were not on my side! I've been able to stay confident in my appearance, and (thus far) avoid more invasive procedures. What I appreciate about Dr Fernau in particular is an honest evaluation, followed by a solution. This practice is decidedly results oriented. More

I have to start by saying "Thank you Dr. Fernau for an amazing result I have with my most recent visit to get filler!" On multiple occasions and especially for my special occasions I have gotten lip and facial fillers and Botox. His attention to detail is amazing! Also the patience he has and the time he takes with me is commendable. He is always willing to go above and beyond to get me a beautiful result. He will do a touch up after a couple weeks if I had a stubborn brow that needed a bit more Botox. He is very knowledgable and always professional and caring. He takes the time to answer and explain all my questions. I always feel comfortable and at ease knowing I am in his care. His staff are wonderful too! They are always so pleasant and caring! I can't say enough about Dr. Fernau and his staff. He is excellent! More

Thank you fellow reviewers!!! You are so right!!!! Based on your reviews, I chose Dr. Fernau for my injectable adventure. I was terrified because years ago I had a bad experience but from the initial contact with Josh I knew this was the right choice. Have you ever had fun making an appointment? Well Josh is super! His easy going manner, super personality and patience answering questions was beyond what would normally be expected. Upon arrival at the office, he made you feel welcomed like a friend, rather than one of many consumers. And that feeling continued as Amber, Dr. Fernau's Medical Assistant ushered me back to the office where she too exhibited patience and caring with all my questions and concerns. She also is a joy! When I met Dr. Fernau, he was thorough, patient, confident, caring and made my fears disappear. He answered all my questions without fatigue and I felt instantly comfortable. I can't explain the confidence I had in him after I met with him, and as it turned out, that confidence was well deserved. What I love about Dr. Fernau is that my injection outcome seemed as important to him as a major plastic surgery event. I am very pleased with the results and appreciate the time Dr.Fernau gave me over a few weeks to make sure everything turned out perfect! During the course of those visits I met with Sheila, who also is proficient in injectables. She is so pleasant and was also very concerned with a good outcome. I also met Cindy the Aesthetician, who was so gracious, speaking with me regarding other possible procedures down the line. Really, I couldn't be happier!!! Thank you Dr. Fernau for your excellence and your total office experience. I will be back. See you soon! More

I have suffered from migraine headaches since I was a child. I have tried multiple medications and have seen many doctors. I haven't found any methods of relief until now. Dr Fernau treated my headaches with Botox to see if I would get any relief from my horrible headaches. The first treatment I had about 25% relief , second treatment 50%, and I just had my third treatment 2 months ago and have had zero headaches! I can't thank him and his staff enough!!! This has truly changed my life! More

Where do I start...Dr. James Fernau is wonderful!! He is my life saver. My mom has been seeing Dr. James Fernau for well over 10 years and couldn't recommend him more. I have been going to see doc for about 10 years also because I suffer from hyperhydrosis (sweating in the underarms) and he has changed my life! I get Botox, yes Botox, in my underarms to prevent sweating. It works magnificently! I go in about every 6 months and he treats me like a family member or one of his favorite homies. I adore Dr. James Fernau and his professionalism when it comes to his recommendations of what to do for me. He cares and listens. His prices couldn't be more fair. As far as "over-priced" I don't feel that way at all. More

I work in the cosmetics industry and have had Botox treatments for over 20 years (initially for headaches). Later, as I become hum, "more mature", I noticed Botox helped me in other ways. Although I adore the physicians I have reviewed for Botox thus far, I wanted a different, objective perspective by a physician that specializes in Botox and fillers. I am very glad I did. I have wanted a "lift" for my deep set eyes as well as symmetry and Dr. James Fernau achieved it! I am so happy! Not only this, he took pictures we reviewed together and Dr. James Fernau thoroughly studied my features as an artist does a canvas and discussed my options. Although I have used Botox for such a long time, he still explained every motion and use of my facial muscle and how the injections will help me achieve the results I was hoping for. Now, seven days later, I love my results! My small parting gift was a nice touch. Thanks Doc! More
