I had a deviated septum repaired June 2022. The results caused my septum to collapse. I was devastated and distraught. My nose looked flat. I met Dr Fernau and he recommended a liquid rhino. The results are amazing!!! They literally held my hand the whole time. I’m so grateful I found you Dr. Fernau and your staff ☺️😊. Thank you all for making me feel beautiful again. More
I went to Dr. Fernau for a septoplasty/ rhinoplasty exactly three weeks ago today. I cannot recommend him and his team enough! The whole process from beginning at the consultation to the latest check up has been a great experience. The surgery was painless and recovery was quick! I had no bruising and minimal swelling for just a few days. I also had no nausea after the anesthesia as I previously have had and I credit this to the preop care that Dr. Fernau provides. The results far exceed my expectations only 3 weeks out and I can’t wait to see the final results in just a few more months. Thank you Dr. Fernau, Sherry, Sheila and staff! Highly recommend!! More
Dr. Fernau, Sheila and his whole staff define what it means to be a consummate professional. I personally came to Dr. Fernau because of his reputation for such quality work and a very high success rate, and he did not disappoint. Dr. Fernau performed a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty procedure on me and I cannot be any more pleased with the results than I am now, the outcome is even better than I expected. From the first consultation, Dr. fernau explained in detail the process and exactly what this procedure would entail. The follow up, professionalism, and just genuine care and attention that you get from Dr. Fernau and his whole staff are second to none. The results of his work speaks for itself. However, he goes above and beyond to not just create a great outcome, but to make you comfortable and understand that you are in good hands. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to get a top quality doctor and incredible results with a specific attention to your needs and well being to speak with Dr. Fernau. I can testify from experience that you will not be disappointed. More
My nose has bothered me since I was a young girl . Finally in my 20’s Dr Fernau did a rhinoplasty & septoplasty . It was the greatest feeling in the world to look in the mirror and not hate my nose. I loved it & my confidence was so much better. Later in my 40’s my daughter accidentally broke my nose and ruined my result. I was so upset because now I no longer liked getting my pictures taken and no longer felt confident. I tried just dealing with it since I was older but inside it really bothered me. Luckily Dr. Fernau saw the damage and understood how it made me feel. The reconstruction would be a difficult one but he was feeling up to the challenge. He rebuilt my nose and gave me an amazing result even though it was very complicated. I feel I missed out on so many photos with my daughter but now feel happy and excited to take pictures again with her and my family. I always feel safe with Dr Fernau and his staff. They feel more like family to me. I always know I’m in good hands . I cannot thank him enough for making me happy & confident again! More

Take a moment out of your day and take a deep breath. Today was the first time in roughly 25 years that I could fill my lungs all the way up just using my nose. Dr. Fernau, Sherry, and Sheila flawlessly performed the septoplasty that gifted me the pleasure of breathing unobstructed. Along with providing excellent pre and after care. More
Dr. Fernau most recently performed a septoplasty/rhinoplasty for me. I am so thrilled with the final result! My nose still looks like "me", but it is much more smooth and has a contoured look now, not to mention I can actually breathe now, too (thanks to the septoplasty). His work is absolute perfection! The surgery was smooth and my recovery was pain-free. I didn't even have to take any pain meds. This man is clearly a miracle worker! He is meticulous in his craft and strives for perfection. One month before my surgery he and his staff met with me and gave me a vitamin & nutrition plan to follow to help with prepping my body for surgery and help make my recovery more smooth. I don't know any doctors who go above and beyond like that to further benefit their patients' outcomes. He truly wants the best outcome for his patients and takes safety very seriously. His staff communicates very well and makes sure you have cell #s to call in case issues arise. Dr Fernau himself even spoke to my mom on the phone after my surgery and gave her his cell # just in case. You will not find a doctor who cares more than Dr Fernau! More
I have been treating with Dr. Fernau since 2017. I had a botched deviated septum surgery by a different doctor in 2007 which left me with a nose that was twisting and collapsing. I did a lot of research and saw multiple doctors for consultation before choosing Dr. Fernau. He treated me the way you would take care of a member of your own family. He was so kind, caring and reassuring about what needed to be done. He is very accomplished and knowledgeable. Dr. Fernau had to rebuild my nose from scratch. I have had 4 surgeries and now I’m undergoing PRP to thicken the skin on my nose. Dr. Fernau told me that he wouldn’t stop until my nose was perfect. He has continued to keep his word. I am a complicated case and have had a few setbacks along the way. Other doctors would have abandoned me or never even attempted to help me, but not Dr. Fernau. Today will be my first appointment since the COVID restrictions were lifted. I’m looking forward to getting back on track and I know that I have a doctor that will see this through to completion. Thank you Dr. Fernau. More
I had a deviated septum. It was horrible. He fixed it and did such a wonderful job. I have never been so confident in my life. I finally can breathe through both nostrils after all these years. Truly amazing !!!!!! I highly recommend. All the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. They treat you like family. More

Excellent, Talented Surgeon - Dr. Fernau performed a rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and otoplasty on me. I am extremely happy with the result. In addition to being extremely talented, he is also very big on patient safety and I would recommend him 1000%. The office staff were always very kind and willing to answer any questions. More
I am 24 years old and I have always had difficulty breathing due to a trauma that occurred when I was a child. Not only did I have trouble breathing, I was very self-conscious because of the appearance of my nose due to the trauma. I began researching for doctors and came across Dr. Fernau in Pittsburgh, PA. I decided to book a consultation with him because of all the excellent reviews I read and his continued education. During my consultation Dr. Fernau was very personable, intelligent and took his time explaining to me my condition and his plan to correct my deviated septum and to improve the appearance of my nose. He made me feel very much at ease and after the consultation, I knew right away he was the one I wanted to do my septorhinoplasty. Only a few days later I booked my surgery. Sheila and Sharon helped me get the exact date I wanted even though his schedule was very busy. (Because he is AWESOME.) After my surgery Dr. Fernau gave me his personal cell phone number to contact him if needed. During my recovery I texted him and he responded immediately with compassion and the information I needed. After week one I was able to get my internal splints out and I could breathe better than I ever had in my life, and I was brought to tears. After two weeks I was allowed to remove my nasal cast and the appearance of my nose was AMAZING. My nose was very natural looking and fit perfectly with my face. I am currently 3 weeks postop and I can confidently say that my choice to have this surgery was life changing. If you want a surgeon who will do amazing work and who makes you feel like family, Dr. Fernau is your guy. I cannot brag enough about him and his staff. They are all so knowledgeable, helpful and warm. More
19 y/o Septo-rhinoplasty - Ever since I can remember, I've never been able to breathe through my nose. Eventually I found out that I had a deviated septum and figured now while I'm young (19, f), now would be a good time to get a septoplasty and also fix a bump that I've always been self conscious of on my bridge. The second Dr.Fernau saw my nose he could tell me that my nose had been broken at one point in my life, mind you that I've been to numerous ENT specialists and other plastic surgeons that never mentioned that. He assured me that after the septo-rhinoplasty that I'd be able to breathe completely after the surgery and I scheduled the surgery a few days later. The office staff was always accommodating to my needs and questions as the surgery got closer (helping me plan my appointments well in advance around my weird work schedule, squeezing me in when needed) and were always friendly. Dr.Fernau made me feel so comfortable and prepared before the surgery with all of the pre-operative measures he takes with a vitamin regime, ointments and soaps using for the last three days before surgery. You always knew that he knew what he was doing and was doing it for your best interest. The day of surgery I was so nervous! He came back before surgery and met my family and assured them (and me again) that I'd be ecstatic with the outcome. 5 hours later I woke up and my boyfriend told me that he said my nose fracture was so bad that a piece of bone actually chipped away. He said before surgery he couldn't get a syringe up my one nostril and after he could fit his fingers up there so I will now be able to breathe. My surgery was July 20th so my first post-op appointment was four days later to get my internal splints out. I went into the appointment feeling weak, tired and not like myself. With black eyes and a swollen face, how can anyone feel good? As soon as he came in he could sense that and in a matter of minutes he had me laughing. He has a wonderful bedside manner. I'm not gonna candy coat it, the splint removal was HORRIBLE. I thought my brain was gonna come out with them. More

I got a rhinoplasty/septoplasty in February. Everything about my experience has been great, from my initial consult until now having pos-op appointments. I am already so pleased with Dr Fernau's work. I wish I would have made this decision sooner because I am so happy. More
Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty 10 out of 10 - I got a rhinoplasty/septoplasty and I am so satisfied with the results. Dr Fernau and his staff are incredible - I would HIGHLY recommend. This entire experience has been amazing from the original consult up until now having post-op appointments. More

Amazing doctor, amazing staff, amazing results! My husband recently had a revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty performed by Dr. Fernau. The results are impeccable, and more perfect than we could have imagined. Not only is Dr. Fernau truly a talented, knowledgeable surgeon, his entire staff was so helpful and caring. We highly recommend his practice. You will be in great hands! More
Amazing doctor, staff, and results! I recently underwent a revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty after a botched surgery several years ago. After visiting several doctors who were unsure of the expected results, I chose Dr. Fernau who confidently, yet carefully, took on this surgery. Dr. Fernau is meticulous and thorough, knowledgeable, and and incredibly friendly doctor. Additionally, his wonderful staff made my experience wonderful. I recommend his practice highly! More
Everything about my experience with Dr. Fernau and his staff was EXCEPTIONAL. I had my first consultation for a revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty in June, and underwent the surgery at the end of July. After visiting several other plastic surgeons in the area, I chose Dr. Fernau without hesitation because of his knowledge, confidence, experience, and the excellent service and care of his staff. My results are truly something amazing, and something I thought I would never get to experience. I recommend Dr. Fernau and his practice with the utmost confidence that you will be just as pleased with your experiences! - J. Doneluck More
My husband had his first consultation with Dr. Fernau in June 2015, and underwent a revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty at the end of July. We both can only say wonderful things about his experiences with not only Dr. Fernau himself, but his staff, the recovery, and the surgery results. Several years ago, my husband had his first septoplasty and rhinoplasty, which was performed by his ENT, and ultimately left him with a "botched' result. After visiting several other plastic surgeons in the Pittsburgh area, we just couldn't seem to find a doctor who was 100% positive he or she could fix the original surgery results to my husband's preference. Finally,after visiting Dr. Fernau, we both felt so confident with the decision to move forward with the surgery. Dr. Fernau was very honest and frank about the issues my husband was dealing with, but assured us that we could expect exceptional results. After a smooth recovery and constant communication with Dr. Fernau and his staff, we finally got to see the results, which were more than we expected. The issues with my husband's nose that several other doctors seemed sure were "unfixable" are drastically improved. Both my husband and I highly recommend Dr. Fernau, and with utmost confidence. - Cara Doneluck More
I recently had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty through Dr. Fernau for cartilage structural problems, difficulty breathing and sleeping, and a shape I did not like. I researched various surgeons in the Pittsburgh area who were well-qualified in medical as well as cosmetic surgery. Finding Dr. Fernau was a blessing. Many of the doctors offices I called gave me a bad impression: they were insincere, or treated me as another number to add to their books, or simply rushed me into the process. During my research, however, Dr. Fernau's name continued to appear as a well-reviewed, credible surgeon who was highly qualified. This was evident in the initial phone call I made to the office. Knowing very little about the process, the receptionist stayed on the phone with me for a while to answer all of my questions and to share her own experiences. This type of care continued into my first consultation, where Dr. Fernau spent 2 hours with me, answering questions, calming my doubts, giving me all the information I needed, but never pushing me to become his patient. He left the decision to me and made sure I was well-informed to make it. This type of sincerity was shown by every staff member I came across. Each took the time to learn who I was, what I was hoping to get, and to share their own experiences and prior fears. When it came time for surgery, Dr. Fernau met with me and immediately calmed any last-minute doubts in my mind. He was so passionate and focused that I became excited to see the work he would accomplish! He was meticulous, perfectionistic, and took incredible strides to ensure that his work product would be his best. My results are astounding--far beyond what I ever expected. I now have full oxygen through my nose (the first time I had ever experienced that, as I had only 10% through one side), I now sleep through the night for the first time in my life, the fracture in my cartilage and deviated septum are fixed, and it looks stunning on the outside! He is not only meticulous in his medical work, but he is a total perfectionist in his cosmetic work. His bedside manners were outstanding, his post-op attentiveness was great, and he answers the phone day and night for any questions I have. He still takes the time to give me tips and suggestions to ensure an efficient and painless recovery. Upon my return to the office after surgery, he was just as excited as I was to reveal the results. He lives and breathes this work and I am beyond thrilled to have found him.Dr. Fernau strives for perfection in every patient he works with. I highly recommend looking into Dr. Fernau and his staff for whatever procedure you are considering. I am honored to have been the patient of Dr. Fernau and I give him an A++++++! More
I am SO impressed by Dr. Fernau's work. Having no idea what to really expect, I searched through a ton of reviews to make sure that I was making a good decision on having Dr. Fernau perform my rhinoplasty/septoplasty procedure. After the thorough consultation (which, by the way, the amount of time that he spent talking with me was unlike any other doctor I have ever encountered), I was confident that Dr. Fernau was not only a perfectionist (something I absolutely wanted for somebody who would be working on my nose, both opening up my nasal passages as well as ensuring that my nose looked better than it had prior to the surgery), but also incredibly passionate about his work and incredibly skillful. I am always skeptical of reviews, but I could not believe the amount of positive feedback and world-recognition Dr. Fernau has. These two things ensured that he would do a good job. Now, almost 3 weeks post-op, I could not be happier with the work he has done. I am breathing better than I ever have and the recovery period was painless as he provided all of the medicine I needed. Any questions I had, I texted and called him and he was patient and helpful in his responses and answers. And my nose looks perfect! Due to a fracture and a severely deviated septum, I had a slight curve to my nose from the profile and the tip of my nose was rounded due to my Italian ethnicity. Post-op, I have the cutest nose - I can't stop looking in the mirror!I can confirm (as well as my sister who had the same procedure) that Dr. Fernau is an outstanding surgeon and an expert at his work. Patient, thorough, detail-oriented, a perfectionist and one of the best at his profession. I 100% support going to him for a consultation, being open about any and all questions or concerns, and scheduling this procedure. It was absolutely worth it and like a dream come true having a surgeon like this so close to home. I am beyond grateful! More

I recently had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty through Dr. Fernau. There are a number of aspects that make me recommend him highly. During my research of a skilled surgeon, I found that I wanted two things from the surgeon I chose: (1) one who was capable of performing a procedure that would help me medically (deviated septum, fracture, 10% breathing through the left side of my nose, etc.); and (2) one who was also skilled in aesthetics and cosmetic procedures as I knew this procedure would change the look of my nose. I called various other offices to ask about the surgeons and consultations, but had poor or average experiences. However, my meeting with Dr. Fernau was exceptional. He took over 2 hours with me during my consultation simply to make sure I understood everything, to answer every question, to discuss his experiences, and to take the time to understand what I wanted and needed. He discussed the medical benefits that would result-particularly my breathing and the increased energy, ability to sleep through the night, and improvements that would result in my life. Further, he has an incredible talent for aesthetics and ensuring that the shape of my nose (Italian bump on the bridge) would be improved with the surgery. In fact, everyone person I met in his office was so genuine, caring, and more than willing to share their own experiences. Even during my first phone call to the office, the receptionist took time to share her thoughts and experiences with me, which put me at ease. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Fernau was motivated and excited for me to see the successful results I would receive. He was caring, extremely thorough, and unbelievably meticulous in his work. The post-op meetings have been exceptional as well. He met with me and my sister (we both got the procedure done on the same day! That's how skilled he is!!) for over an hour, discussing procedures, and answering questions. Dr. Fernau was so caring and excited to show us the unbelievable results because he invested his heart into this work. It is a rare quality to find a surgeon who is so brilliant and skilled, but also so genuinely happy for his patients. Growing up without the ability to breathe well, I never realized how bad it was. Dr. Fernau said this would be life changing for me. And he was correct, it has changed my life already. I believe Dr. Fernau to be an expert in his field, and I highly recommend him for any procedure you are hoping to have. A++++ in all aspects. You are in skilled and trusted hands with Dr. Fernau.

I had a deviated septum repair, nasal fracture repair, and rhinoplasty last month. Dr. Fernau is an excellent plastic surgeon and also an ENT. He has taken excellent care of me. His staff are friendly, professional, and make you feel at ease there. They always answer any questions that I may have. I would never consider going anywhere else. I feel confident in the care he has given me. More
