From the reviews
I don’t know if I’ve ever had a doctor that gave me as much time as I needed to ask any question I had and genuinely listened to all of them Like Dr. Fahrenkopf. Finding a skilled doctor that is also not arrogant is rare. He is very conservative with his methods. I felt I could trust him right away.
I met Dr Fahrenkopf for a consultation on my elbow for pain & numbness of my fingers. He was very informative & helpful. He took the time to go over in detail about what was going on with my situation & also gave me options as to what I could do. He is a very kind,professional,caring Dr.
I've been a patient with Dr Fahrenkopf for a couple of years now and I couldn't be more pleased with the care I've received during that time. It's been a bit of a rocky road for me but we are navigating the twists and turns of my recovery together and I must mention his nurse Kelly who is at almost every appointment I…
This my first time at this office and seeing Dr. Fahrenkopf and he was nice and clearly knowledgeable, whenever I see a dr wearing a bow tie I see that as a good sign and I was right.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
