Reviews for Pittsburgh, PA Plastic Surgeon Dr. James Fernau Rhinoplasty Procedures

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. More

I had the best experience I could ask for going to Dr. Fernau and his team. I received a septoplasty / rhinoplasty and have results that far exceeded my expectations. Originally, I went in for the cosmetic benefit, but Dr. Fernau found that I had a deviated septum. I never expected the massive quality of life difference I received. Far less congestion, sinus pressure, abnormal drainage, things I dealt with daily that are long gone now. That along with my dream nose, the full makeover I spent years hoping for, I'm absolutely thrilled! I will recommend him every time I have the opportunity. More

Dr. Fernau and his team achieve incredible results, while epitomizing the highest standard of patient care. I had a liquid rhinoplasty done here and my expectations were exceeded to such an extent, that I am nothing short of astonished by the result he and his team created. Dr. Fernau is an artist who will not settle for anything less than the best for his patients. A wonderful person in addition to a skilled doctor, his genuine nature shined through every interaction we had. The contours and shaping he created as a result of my procedure were perfect from every angle, and on top of it, I impressively experienced no noticeable bruising or swelling afterwards thanks to his adept technique and methods. Having had this same procedure done years ago elsewhere (thus having ability to compare doctors), I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Fernau for anyone looking to have a procedure of this nature done. Alongside of Dr. Fernau is a consummate team of professionals who exhibit the same high level of skill and care that he demonstrates. Sherry, Cindy, and Amber are all incredibly approachable, easy to talk to, and ask questions of. They go above and beyond to make your experience and procedure/visit smooth and comfortable, all while concurrently running an efficient operation. I admire their teamwork, knowledge, and efficiency. What sets this office apart are a) the level of artistry and expertise you receive and b) the genuine human touch that comes with it. You are not a number here; you are a patient who the entire team demonstrates true care and compassion for from intake to your final result. You will be glad you chose them. I will undoubtably be coming back for other needs in the future. More

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

Dr. Fernau, Sheila, and the rest of the office staff were amazing to work with! They provide excellent care and are incredibly kind and comforting. After years, I have finally gotten a rhinoplasty done. With only being four days post-op today, I am already seeing results and it makes me even more excited to see the final results after the remainder of the healing is done! I could not be any happier with my experience. They have done a wonderful job of taking one of my biggest insecurities and turning it into something that I can finally love about myself! More

I am one month post-op and I have truly never been happier. My septorhinoplasty experience was so much easier than I could have ever imagined. From the first consultation, Dr Fernau and Sherry were incredibly welcoming and informative about the entire process. Surgery and my post op appointments all went so smoothly with the help of the kind team at Radiance and Sheila and the rest of Dr Fernau's team. I was worried about bruising and pain, but I never had facial bruising and didn't even need the prescription pain medication. It was such a smooth recovery and really a great experience from start to finish. Everyone involved was incredibly kind, helpful, supportive, and caring. My breathing has improved tremendously and made my life 1000x easier. Dr Fernau listened to exactly how I wanted the shape to be and now a month since the surgery, I could not be more in love with my nose. Thank you so so much to Dr Fernau and his team! 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 is a great doctor, he removed a mole from my nose, it originally had left a small indentation, but he fixed that by another quick surgery and prescribing laser treatment sessions. Cindy is also fantastic and very professional, nice and kind. She helped with my laser treatment and now my nose looks great and you can hardly see any scars. They are an excellent and kind people that I highly recommend. Thank you Dr. Fernau and to Cindy!! 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

Dr. Fernau is truly the best plastic surgeon and doctor I know. I recently got a septorhinoplasty by him and am amazed by his work. I absolutely love how my nose looks and can breathe so much better now too! Not only is he an artist with his work but he is also one of the kindest, most welcoming doctors you will ever meet. He listens intently to all of your concerns and treats you like you are family. In addition to that, his entire staff is amazing. From the moment you walk through the door, you are treated with open arms by everyone you meet. Aleah, Amber, Michelle, Cindy, Sheila, Erika, and Sherry were all so kind and friendly. I got to meet with Sheila for my second consult who thoroughly went through all of my pre and post-op instructions with such warmth and care. Michelle coordinated scheduling my surgery and worked so hard to get me on the schedule and was so kind and knowledgeable with all of my questions. I also met Sherry, the surgical technician, before my surgery who made me feel so at ease beforehand. I truly had the best experience at Dr. Fernau’s office and I cannot thank everyone enough for all of the wonderful care I have received there! More

Dr. Fernau and his staff were amazing to work with, I had a great experience from beginning to end. Dr. Fernau was very detailed about the procedure and made me feel very comfortable about everything. His staff are very welcoming and easy to work with. I had a septo/rhinoplasty and went in with about 50% breathing ability. After the procedure, my nose looked amazing and I was able to breathe significantly better. I highly recommend working with Dr. Fernau and his staff! 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, Sheila, and the entire staff did a beautiful job on my surgery. My recovery time was short and in two weeks the implants felt like I was born with them. I told him what I expected and they exceeded those expectations. They took into consideration my very active lifestyle, and were honest about how big I could go while still looking natural, which was my end goal. My girlfriends loved the work so much a few have set up consultations for other surgeries Dr Fernau offers, and one has set up a consultation for corrective work on her breast implants. I plan on going back in the future for a few more enhancements. After seeing his rhinoplasty portfolio I know this is where I’ll go to have the damage my nose sustained in a car accident to be corrected. Definitely worth every penny. 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

If I could give more stars, I would!! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Fernau and everyone in the practice. Dr. Fernau is a perfectionist and the end result is beyond my expectations. Everyone within the practice treats you like family, listens to all your concerns, and is completely judgement free. I had rhinoplasty performed and was back to work with no noticeable swelling or bruising within a week. I would 10 out of 10 recommend to schedule a consultation, if you are even considering any type of procedure. They are a breathe of fresh air, quite literally for me!! 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

My nose without any bad angles - I have always had breathing problems. It wasn't something only I noticed - even school classmates commented. When I turned 30, I figured I still hopefully have 60 years of breathing left to do, so it is time to do something about it. I interviewed every doc in town and landed on Dr. Fernau because:1) He is double boarded as both an ENT and as a plastic surgeon 2) His before/afters appealed to my aesthetic the most3) He said during the consultation that his daughter had the same bumps on the side of her nose and I thought maybe he'll see a bit of his daughter on the table that day.In the end >2 years later, I am incredibly happy with my results both from a cosmetic and functional aspect. I can breathe now. I sleep with my mouth closed and my constantly bleeding/chapped lips are better. Getting sick is a breeze because I can actually blow the mucous out of my nose instead of every cold turning into a raging sinus infection. I am very happy with the appearance- it is still "my nose" but I just don't have any bad angles anymore. Throughout the entire experience with Dr. Fernau, I was treated with respect, kind consideration, and was never rushed out of just one more question with every member of his team. Two years ago the office scheduling practices were a mess, but I knew when I got back there, I would be the #1 priority so it was worthwhile. Billed to insurance was over $45k, but my total cost was about $15.7k once you paid all the bills, medications, etc. I would recommend Dr. Fernau to anyone considering a septo/rhinoplasty. More

Dr Fernau not only fixed my deviated septum, he also made my nose look beautiful! Way beyond my expectations! He and his staff are not only caring, but they are excellent at what they do! 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

Great Result and Great Experience - I can't say enough about Dr. Fernau. I know I made the right decision selecting him for my rhinoplasty. He really listened to my concerns and I amSo pleased with the outcome and I'm much more confident with my appearance. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a cosmetic procedure. More

Septiplasty/Rhinoplasty - Pittsburgh, PA - Transcending! Being in the hands of a surgical sculptor, estethic architect and pure genius is addicting especially when you see the results and cry that they are better than your wildest dreams!!! He's a master! Make a consult even just to meet his genius and learn about what you want and what you're doing! It might be a different prosecute you need to get the results you want than the procedure you decided you actually wanted. That's part of his calling, too. And he NAILS IT!!! More

Couldn't have asked for a better experince - Dr. Fernau preformed a two-part reconstructive rhinoplasty, he was very upfront and thorough in both his approach and in explaining the case to me. Dr. Fernau was efficient yet friendly and always made me feel comfortable both in the office and when seeing me before the procedures at the hospital. The office staff is second to none committed to attending to all patient needs and being flexible while making appointments that meet my schedule needs. 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

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

53 Years Old Physician, Revision Rhinoplasty After First Procedure at Age 16 Due to Birth Defect - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr. Fernau and his staff are wonderful. I picked this Doctor because he was double boarded in ENT and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery AND because he was only provider in the area who is member of Rhinoplasty Assn. He travels the world to learn and share his expertise in the procedure of rhinoplasty. He is highly qualified to do revision rhinoplasty which I waited almost 40 years to get done because I was waiting for the technology and the right surgeon! Obviously I did it and I am pleased! Is it your first rhinoplasty procedure? if you get it right the first time by choosing Dr. Fernau, you won't have to worry about revision! I recommend Dr. Fernau highly and without reservation. More

AMAZING Doctor, Great Results for SeptoRhinoplasty - 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.

Awesome surgeon! Has a very caring bedside manner. He is very meticulous about his work. I've had several procedures and trust his skills as a surgeon. Staff is caring too! At least call for a consultation and he will answer any questions you have thoroughly without judgment. I was scared to go show some stranger my body issues but he made me feel that's its normal for people to want to improve themselves. He is very professional and loves what he does. From eyelift, rhinoplasty, dermabrasion, buttlift to liposuction, I've loved all my results! More

My sincere THANK YOU to Dr. Fernau and all of his staff for their wonderful work and the compassionate care I received before, during, and after my complex procedure. As a physician myself, I picked Dr. Fernau to do my procedure. Why? Not only is Dr.Fernau double boarded in ENT and Cosmetic/Plastic surgery, he is also the only listed physician in the area who is a member of the Rhinoplasty Association. He travels the world learning and teaching other medical professionals i...n this field of medicine. Doc is so kind, as are all the staff. He is very proud of his work, as he should be...... he literally performed a miracle on re-building the bridge/tip of my nose which was essentially absent as a result of a genetic birth defect. It not only looks great, but I can breathe and smell so much better now! I highly recommend Dr.Fernsu! Five Stars for sure! More

He travels the world to learn and share his expertise in the procedure of rhinoplasty. He is highly qualified to do revision rhinoplasty which I waited almost 40 years to get done because I was waiting for the technology and the right surgeon! Obviously I did it and I am pleased! Is it your First rhinoplasty procedure? if you get it right the first time by choosing Dr, Fernau, you won't have to worry about revision! I recommend Dr. Fernau highly and without reservation. Also, as far as his personality, he is a great man, very humble and kind, very easy to talk to and takes pride in his work. More

Almost 40, NEVER! - Pittsburgh, PA - LOVE HIM! More

I can't thank Dr. Fernau enough for my beautiful nose. He stepped up to the plate of fixing my collapsing nose due to two previous botched surgeries when no other doctor would. When I look in the mirror now tears come to my eyes because of how perfect my nose looks. I've always since a young girl hated my nose and now I'm in love with it... I would recommend him to anyone, and the fact I'm breathing out of both sides of my nose as I'm writing this makes me love it even more. More

Dr. James Fernau is an amazing surgeon with an excellent eye and a wonderful bedside manner. I brought in my daughter after she broke her nose and he fixed the nose, improving the appearance while still maintaining her unique look. I am a doctor specializing in minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments and ever since my daughter's great experience with Dr. James Fernau, I have been referring my patients who want a surgical procedure to him As a mother, and as a doctor, I trust Dr. James Fernau and appreciate his natural results! More

Wow - he is an amazing doctor. I had the cartilage in nose collapse and I couldn't breath through my left nostril and the right nostril was diminished. He new exactly what to do by taking cartilage from my ear to reconstruct my nose and it's only been a month and I can breath so well. I'm so relieved and extremely happy with his knowledge and expertise. I would refer Dr. James Fernau in a heartbeat. More

I came all the way from LA to meet with Dr. James Fernau and I am so glad that I did. He is truly an artist. I'd had a previous rhinoplasty which had left me with an unnatural done look. I had wanted it fixed for such a long time but was scared to go back to surgery. I found Dr. James Fernau after lots of research. He is a master. I could not be more thrilled. My nose looks natural and not done. Dr. James Fernau and his staff were wonderful. And it didn't hurt at all. I'd recommend Dr. James Fernau and his natural looking results! More

Dr. James Fernau and staff are fantastic. He is very attentive and takes his time to craft a plan based on your needs and goals. I'm very pleased with my results (rhinoplasty) and would certainly recommend him to anyone considering having work done. Plastic surgery is a very personal topic, and it's important to chose a doctor who makes you feel at ease and can take the time to answer all of your questions, and really give you personalized experience. More

I had a rhinoplasty procedure done by Dr. James Fernau in July. The entire experience was amazing and I couldn't be happier with the results. My nose looks very natural and while the "bump" is gone and my nose is totally symmetrical no one can ever tell that I had surgery. The staff and facility are seriously top notch and I felt very well taken care of the day of the procedure. Thank you!! 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

Excellent rhinoplasty surgeon ! More

My situation was a little different compared to others. I was in need of a complex rhinoplasty. I consulted with several other physicians prior to meeting Dr. Fernau. When he entered the exam room he evaluated my situation and knew exactly what he needed to do to correct my problem. He exuded knowledge and confidence which in turn made me feel comfortable with him. Needless to say my surgery was extensive as I knew it would be and the results are excellent! I can say without a doubt that there is no other plastic surgeon locally that could have done this procedure as well as Dr. Fernau. I am 100% pleased with my results! I am so happy that I found him and will recommend him to everyone! The office staff and nurses are exemplary. I was always seen on time and I was never left alone in the exam room-someone always stayed and talked to me. The physician and staff are professional and kind. More

I recently had a rhinoplasty for cartilage structural problems, breathing problems, and a shape I did not like. I researched local Pittsburgh surgeons who were highly rated. During my research, Dr. Fernau's name continued to come up in my searches as a credible surgeon who was highly qualified. I gave his office a call and the receptionist was open to answer all the questions that I had. At my consultation, Dr. Fernau was incredibly patient and gave me 2 hours of his time just to step through all of my questions, concerns, and fears. I have never had a doctor give me that much time in an appointment! The most telling part about the entire business, is that every staff member was genuine. Every person in the office took a personal interest in me and openly discussed their experiences. As far as the surgery itself, Dr. Fernau was so passionate and meticulous in his work, he took special pains to ensure that my result was going to change my life and, more specifically, my breathing. And because of this procedure being done so well, I have breathed fully for the first time in my life. And externally, the shape of my nose reflects the way I feel. Since the surgery, he has answered the phone day and night with any post-op questions that I've had, and took time to give me tips and suggestions to ensure an efficient and painless recovery.It is inspiring to meet someone who is working because he loves his career and strives for nothing less than perfection in every patient. That meticulousness is reflected in his work on me. Thank you!! Highly highly highly recommended. More

Excellent rhinoplasty surgeon 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

Excellent rhinoplasty surgeon. He is double board certified in both ENT and in Plastic Surgery and it shows in his knowledge and skill. He took over an hour with me during my consult and my post care was wonderful. 100 stars! More

I was nervous and skeptical prior to surgery but after an in-depth consultation with Dr. Fernau and now, almost 2 months post-rhinoplasty, I can assure any skeptics that he does an incredible job. My nose is healing well, it looks SO much better than it did prior to surgery and - the best part - I am sleeping through the night and have so much more energy during the day as a result. He fixed my breathing which resulted in more energy during the day; I could not be more thrilled! More

He is truly a genuinely nice person with an incredible staff. He has the most knowledge of any doctor I have ever Matt and most importantly he has humble More

I recently had septo/Rhinoplaasty done I'm very pleased with my results and my breathing is sensational I just wanna say thanks to Dr.fernau and his staff they changed my life I just got the splint off and my nose was better than expected . More

Hi my name is Dannielle I'm a 44 year old African America female who recently had septo/rhinoplasty done by Dr. fernau . I just want to say he is truly an artist of plastic surgery .He is very precise and his confidence is very comforting . He makes you feel like your in the best hands with him and his staff . Which are very professional ,They all play an important role in his business and they fulfill there duties a 100% .. I'm so glad I I chose Dr. fernau to do my procedure. He fullfilled my wishes for a better nose, and my sinus issues far beyond my expectations . 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.

Dr. Fernau did a fantastic job with my rhinoplasty procedure. He is very skilled and meticulous about his work and his bedside manner is fantastic. He took a lot of time to meet and talk with me, both at the consultation as well as during visits to his office following the operation. It is clear that he has extensive experience and is one of the best in his field. I am so glad I chose him for this effort! 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 recently had a rhinoplasty through Dr. Fernau and his medical staff. During my research process, he appeared in my searches time after time and the reviews spoke highly of his professionalism. When I consulted with other surgeon offices, they rushed me through phone calls, were unprofessional, or simply seemed to want my business, like I was a "number," not a patient. On my first phone call to Dr. Fernau's office, the receptionist answered my questions and took the time to describe her experiences with me. At my consultation, Dr. Fernau spent 2 hours with me, going through his experiences, answering all of my questions and allaying my fears. He discussed thoroughly the medical, cosmetic, and lifestyle benefits to the procedure, but ultimately left the decision up to me. He never pushed for my business, but was excited to potentially be a part of my decision to go through with the procedure. After the first consult, I was in. I was most excited that I would breathe better than I ever had in my life. This was a problem that I did not know was so bad until I noticed how improved my breathing had become post-procedure. A few days after he performed the operation, I breathed in through my nose, a full breathe, for the first time since I can remember. And as the days go by, my energy level is steadily increasing, which I can attribute to my ability to now get full oxygen through my nose. As far as the surgery itself, Dr. Fernau has incredible bedside manners and took car More

24 Year Old-Rhinoplasty - Pittsburgh, PA - I recently had a rhinoplasty through Dr. Fernau and his medical staff. During my research process, he appeared in my searches time after time and the reviews spoke highly of his wonderful bedside manners, professionalism, and successes in his procedures. I consulted a few surgeons because I wanted to ensure that I would not receive "botched" results on my nose. The experiences I had with the other businesses were either mediocre or poor--rushing me through phone calls, speaking unprofessionally, etc. However, my first phone call to Dr. Fernau's office was exceptional. The receptionist took time to discuss my questions, concerns, fears, and even gave me insight into her experiences.My consultation with Dr. Fernau was similar to the first phone call; he took all the time I needed to get through my questions and concerns (over 2 hours) and had no problem taking more time with me if I needed it! I have never experienced a doctor that has taken that much time with me! He discussed the changes that would be made to my nose and the life changing medical benefits that would result-particularly the ability for me to breathe well (which has resulted in my receiving more oxygen, increased energy levels, and ability to sleep through the night).Dr. Fernau had incredible bedside manners during the procedure and was just as excited as I was to experience the successful results. He has answered his phone, day and night, to allay any concerns and answer my questions during my recovery. Even in my post-op appointments, he took well over an hour with me to discuss how happy he was with the outcome and to answer all the questions I had for the future. Every member of Dr. Fernau's staff has been so genuinely happy for me and has taken it upon themselves to open up about their experiences with their own procedures. Dr. Fernau had described how life-changing this procedure would be for me, and he was correct. I sincerely recommend Dr. Fernau and his staff for any procedure you are considering, because they are caring and genuine, and highly skilled professionals. They desire, as much as you, to give you the best results possible. More

Sheila, his nurse, was wonderful with pre and post op care. I am beyond happy with choosing him to perform my surgery. More

I researched Dr. Fernau and his credentials and decided to make a consultation appointment for a nose job. The office staff was wonderful and very caring. During my consultation, you could tell he had 'other' things going on. He seemed very rushed and almost unapproachable. I asked questions and saw before and after photos. I was pleased with what I saw and despite his manner, I booked and had surgery. My results are beautiful. I would recommend him and his qualifications, however, as far as professionalism from the doctor, don't expect it. More

I have had four procedures by Dr. Fernau since Oct. of 1996: A brow lift, rhinoplasty, laser and implant replacement. I live in AZ and have the availabiltiy of the finest plastic surgeons in the country located in Scottsdale. Yet I choose to travel to PA because I trust no one but Dr. Fernau. He is an absolute perfectionest. He is brutally honest which I consider an attribute in a plastice surgeon. His professional ethics are above reproach. I was always treated with the utmost respect by his staff. The surgical centers were prfessional and comfortable. There was never a moment of anxiety with any of the procedures. If you see a negative rating for Dr. Fernau you must believe there are two sides to every story. How can anyone who sees the miracle he performed for Tatiana the little Russian girl say he is not knowledgable. That is so ludicrous. I did not give him a 5 on punctuality because it is common for a sugeons schedule to be beyond his control. Signed PV in AZ More
