What Patients Say

“Dr. Fern is the rare surgeon who tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. I had consultations with two other surgeons before coming to him, and his honest assessment was different from both — more conservative, more realistic, and ultimately correct. My facelift results are genuinely natural. My friends noticed I looked rested and refreshed, not operated on. The recovery was easier than I anticipated, and his office was attentive throughout. I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“I had been thinking about rhinoplasty for years and saw three surgeons before Dr. Fern. He was the only one who was completely honest about what could and couldn't be changed, given my anatomy. He showed me imaging of realistic outcomes rather than idealized photos. The result is exactly what I hoped for — my nose fits my face. The recovery was well-managed and I felt supported throughout. Worth every penny and every day of healing.”

“After my mastectomy I was devastated. Dr. Fern handled my reconstruction with extraordinary care and technical skill. He took the time to explain every stage of the process, answered questions I didn't know I had, and was available throughout recovery. The result has given me back something I thought I'd lost permanently. I feel whole again. There are no adequate words to thank him.”

“I had a tummy tuck and breast lift combined after having two children. Dr. Fern was extraordinarily thorough in the consultation — he explained exactly what each procedure involved, what realistic outcomes looked like, and was honest about the recovery. The results exceeded what I expected. The scar from the tummy tuck is low and fading beautifully. I feel more confident than I have in years. His team at the Greenwich office was warm and professional throughout.”

“I was skeptical going into this. I didn't want to look operated — I just wanted to look like a less tired version of myself. Dr. Fern understood exactly what I meant and delivered precisely that. Nobody has commented on my appearance in a way that suggests I had anything done. Several people have asked if I've been on vacation. That was the exact goal. His understanding of male facial anatomy made an enormous difference. I should have done this years ago.”

“I went in knowing I wanted augmentation but not much beyond that. Dr. Fern walked me through the measurements, explained why certain implant sizes would or wouldn't work with my frame, and we landed on exactly the right choice. The results look natural — which was my priority. His follow-up care was excellent. He personally reviewed my results at every post-op appointment. If you're considering augmentation, see Dr. Fern before you see anyone else.”

“Dr. Fern is the most skilled and thoughtful surgeon I have encountered in decades of living in the New York area. His consultation was thorough and he was candid about what a facelift would and wouldn't accomplish. The result is exceptional — ten years younger without a trace of looking surgically altered. His office handles the entire experience with professionalism and warmth. I have referred three friends, all of whom had equally positive experiences.”

“I'd lived with gynecomastia since my twenties and was embarrassed to even bring it up. A friend who had work done with Dr. Fern encouraged me to make an appointment. The consultation was private, professional, and completely without judgment. He explained exactly what was causing the problem and what the surgery involved. Recovery was faster than I expected. I wore a fitted shirt without anxiety for the first time in 20 years two months after surgery. Life-changing is not an overstatement.”

“I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Fern. The difference is remarkable — I look rested and alert rather than tired, which is exactly what I wanted. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia with light sedation and I was comfortable throughout. My eyes still look completely natural. Dr. Fern was conservative in what he removed, which was exactly the right call. The recovery was only about 10 days to presentable. I wish I had done this sooner.”

“Después de dos embarazos, decidí hacerme una abdominoplastia con el Dr. Fern. Su equipo me atendió completamente en español, lo cual me hizo sentir muy cómoda durante todo el proceso. El Dr. Fern explicó cada paso con claridad y respondió todas mis preguntas. Los resultados son increíbles — mi abdomen está plano por primera vez en años. La cicatriz ya está sanando muy bien. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, especialmente para pacientes de habla hispana.”

“I had a deviated septum that affected my breathing and an appearance I wasn't happy with. Dr. Fern addressed both functional and aesthetic goals in one procedure. He was upfront that I needed to be patient — the nose takes a full year to fully settle — and he was right. At the 12-month mark the result is everything I hoped for. He accepted my case as a revision (I'd had a prior rhinoplasty elsewhere that I wasn't satisfied with) and produced a significantly better result.”

“I had chronic neck and shoulder pain for fifteen years because of my breast size. Dr. Fern handled the insurance documentation thoroughly and my procedure was covered. The relief was almost immediate — within weeks of surgery the shoulder pain was gone. The scars are healing better than I expected. For anyone who has been managing pain related to breast size and thinking it isn't 'bad enough' for surgery — talk to Dr. Fern. He will give you an honest assessment.”
