Review from A.  |  Source: Healthgrades  |  Feb 10, 2022

Breast augmentation in April 2021. I wasn’t going to leave a review simply because that is all Dr. Fernau seemed to be concerned about me doing, but I am searching for a Dr. for a BBL and am finding that reviews are how I will determine who I go to. Prior to the practice receiving my money I felt very welcomed and like I would be in good hands. After they received my money and after the procedure I felt like a patient of a back alley practice that did not care about me as a patient. I came home and woke up to “cuff burn” on my upper arm, a warranty card for a smaller size implant that was agreed to prior to surgery after paying more for “the better implant”. Even after nurse Sheila called me and confirmed that the manufacturer had the size we agreed on in stock. I am limited in characters for this review so to keep it kind of short, I would give the results a 3 star rating because I did not get what was discussed. Treatment before the procedure was great and after was not so great. More

If you are looking for great staff and doctor you need to go to Dr. Fernau, they take care of you as if you are family. His staff always put you first. They provided me their cell numbers to call if I needed to and always checked up on me after the surgery. I had liposuction, a BBL and skin tightening, my results are AMAZING! His worked cannot be matched. He transforms your body into exactly what you want and more, I am in awe of my results. He is such a perfectionist that you come out looking better than you could even imagine. I would highly recommend him you will not be disappointed. Best DOCTOR in the Steel City! More

He is a perfectionist and takes care of his patients as if they were his family. He listened to what I wanted and far exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. He is magician and the best doctor in the steel city! More

Dr. Fernau has treated me multiple times over the past several years and have always been impressed with the professionalism of his team and his ability to “sculpt” my face. I am 56, and people assume I am at least 15 years younger than I am! We highly recommend Dr. Fernau and his competent team of medical professionals. More

Review from S.M.  |  Source: Healthgrades  |  Oct 10, 2019

I was very nervous about having any type of surgery let alone plastic surgery(breast reductions). I researched many doctors and had 3 consults. I am so very pleased with my results and with the entire process. Dr. Fernau was amazing. He explained everything and took the time to answer my questions. He has an eye for detail and strives for perfection. Highly, highly recommend. I felt safe and secure with him as my surgeon. Follow up with so easy and timely. Overall the procedure had very little pain or down time. Would do it again. More

From the first consultation, Dr. Fernau and his staff were beyond welcoming and helpful. He made me feel like I was his only patient. He seemed genuinely excited about my procedure and getting me the results that I wanted. He's a perfectionist and won't settle for less than perfect results. He travels around the world attending conferences related to his trade. He has his finger on the pulse of the latest technologies. Amazing experience. More

Doctor Fernau is an exceptional physician and surgeon. He was caring, concerned and took time to answer my questions and concerns. The results of his procedures were great! Thanks to Sherry, Bonnie, Malinda and Sharon for exceptional help. My ONLY concern is that my appts. had to be changed several times. Because I am by myself this created an amazing amount of stress and planning to find people available to help me esp. with transportation. No other complaints. Would highly recommend Dr. More

I love my breast augmentation. It has changed my life. My confidence is so much better. My shopping is now so exciting to find bras and tops and a whole array of bathing suits. Dr Fernau andd his staff are so kind and caring. His work is that of a perfectionist. I had minimal pain . I took only ibuprofen after surgery. In 2 weeks the swelling was gone and he placed all stitches under my skin. The nurse Shiela only had to remove some tape. She is awesome and kind. More

I traveled from out of country to get pec and bicep implants and Dr. Fernau and his team were INCREDIBLE!!!!! They were helpful for transportation, emails, feedback, and took care of any concerns I had. They all made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease especially when traveling by myself. Although the desired results couldn't be met with one surgery - I am very happy to return to their team for my follow-up procedure. My wait time was minimal and the care was superior. More

I am 22 years old, and my husband and myself had been shopping for the right doctor to perform my Brazilian Butt Lift. We had been to every office in Pittsburgh, and saved Dr. Fernau's office last, because I was highly impressed with his previous work in Brazil. From the consultation, the surgery with the use of HydroSolve topnotch techonology, and the post op follow up appointments - hands down best experience and results ever! The doctor treated me as if I was one of his own kids! More

I had laser scar revision on my leg. The results were fantastic. Dr. Fernau fixed the incision and took care of the nerves that were affected by my accident. I also had laser scar revision on my hand, and he provided free follow ups to ensure that the scar was completely non existent. The staff was incredibly friendly. They all had cheerful tones, and they ensured that I was comfortable. They are all wonderful and sweet. They really care about their patients. I had practically no wait time. I wo More
