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.

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.
