48 Year Old Wanting to Look Good in Tops my Whole Life - I already gave a detailed review (see above). To summarize Dr Fernau is an excellent surgeon. Intelligent, kind, caring, thorough, extreme attention to detail, great beside manner, loved by his staff and patients in the waiting area. He is on top of all of the latest technology to give his patients the best results. And, other than breast augmentation his other work is superior. I saw first hand beautiful rhinoplasty results, facelift results and patients so happy with liposuction. More

40 Years Old - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr. Fernau has performed multiple surgeries on me and my results were excellent! He has so many positive reviews and while waiting in his waiting area there were so many positive comments about him as a doctor. He has won multiple top Dr. awards in Pittsburgh and in Pennsylvania and nationally. I saw that he was featured in Newsweek for one of his facelifts he performed and for performing an incredible surgery to reconstruct the entire scalp for it in place of Evanuick Russian girl. Most importantly he did this at no charge! His staff is wonderful and Dr. Fernau and his entire staff care about my recovery. He also performs laser resurfacing at no additional charge to make sure there is no scar present. No other plastic surgeon does this to my knowledge. He is truly a unique position and will be my plastic surgeon for the rest of my life. More

Cheek Implants and Chin Implant - Pittsburgh, PA - Well, Dr Fernau is the BEST Dr I have ever met. His level of caring is unlike any Dr I have ever met. I love my cheek and chin augmentation and I am coming back for a NeoGraft hair transplant and a laser facelift. He is so intelligent and personable and humble. I'm sending friends too. - - Dr Fernau and his staff are first rate. They took at least one hour to answer questions and show me photographs. Everyone was so kind and so knowledge. I felt so comfortable. They have a beautiful facility and my whole experience was positive. I had no pain after surgery. They called me before and after surgery to check up on me. I am coming back for a NeoGraft hair transplant! More

Dr Fernau is all about excellence and genuinely the nicest doctor I have ever met! He is so knowledgeable, kind ,caring and approachable. He and his staff are the finest. From my first phone call to my very last visit I was treated with so much genuine kindness and everyone was helpful. I was never rushed. He spent over one hour with me during my first consult. Other doctors topped out at 20 minutes. I got to review his photo gallery from facelifts to liposuction and his results are incredible . I had surgery for gynecomastia and my results are perfect. I can take my shirt off at the beach . I was impressed at his genuine passion for his work and he took a lot of time encouraging an organic lifestyle of nutrition and exercise. He really wants me to retain my result. In short, he is the greatest doctor I have ever met! More

Nine months ago Dr Fernau performed a facelift and a forehead left and a neck left and eyelid surgery and my results are amazing. My friends tell me I look 15 years younger. He also performed laser resurfacing of my scars free of charge and you cannot see any scars on my face lift incisions. I am extremely impressed by his nurses and staff as they have treated me so well and answered all of my questions. Dr Fernau keeps up with the latest technology and I am going to have a NeoGraft no incision hair transplant performed by him and his staff. Also he has his own aesthetician and I have gone to her for many micro dermabrasion's and she has placed me on a skin care regimen which I really like. More

His staff was similar and made me feel very comfortable.I had been to many other plastic surgeons and I had felt pressured to do something and at no time did I feel pressured during my consult with Dr. Fernau. I am a high-profile businessman and we formulated a plan which would best fit my schedule.I had a four head left and facelift and neck lift and rhinoplasty with absolutely incredible results. I would recommend Dr. Fernau to my family and friends. More

I had a face lift, eye lid surgery and a neck lift. Several months later I had a fat transfer procedure in which fat was injected into my face to correct some deep wrinkles. I am extremely satisfied w ith the results. As a physician myself, I would only go to another doctor if I knew of his reputation and surgical skill. Dr, Fernau has an excellent reputation among other physicians and he is a highly skilled surgeon. I would recommend him to my friends, family members and patients. His staff was exceptionally nice and very responsive to my questions and needs. More

My experience with Dr. Fernau and his staff could not have been better. As a physician, I have heard good things about Dr. Fernau and I would not have had him operate upon me if I did not have the utmost respect for his skills and talent. I had a facelift, neck lift and both eyes done at one time. It was done in his office under sedation which saved me money. I was given adequate post-operative pain medications. In less than 3 weeks, all the discoloration and most of the swelling is gone. I am entirely pleased with the results which should get even better as the residual swelling resolves. The only "sensation" I still have is a feeling of tighness around my face and some numb areas of skin, both of which he told me I would have for several months. Dr. Fernau is a good guy and an even better surgeon and his staff is equally professional. I would highly recommend him to both my family members and patients. More

Dr Fernau has done several procedures for me with wonderful results. My facelift was done 2 years agao and my necklift done 6 months ago. My appearance is so natural and the change was such that i get many compliments not questions. Dr Fernau has always gone the extra mile taking extra time and effort to make sure the result is the best. I am so pleased. I look at least 10 years younger than my age. He and his staff worked very hard to accomodate my work schedule. His staff called me at home to make sure i was okay after each procedure. I appreciate his work, his time and his staff. More
