Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent experience all around
Dr Fahrenkopf was referred by my cancer surgeon. He did an excellent job with my reconstruction. He communicated well so that I could understand everything. The reconstruction went great as well. Overall, the practice is very nice. Staff all friendly and professional. Appointments have all gone well. Highly recommend Dr Fahrenkopf and the practice as a whole.

Dr Farenkopf Review
Dr Farenkopf is very detailed, takes time to listen and answer any questions you may have. On top of that, he is very soft spoken and kind! I would 100%+ recommend him at Elite Plastics. Thank you,

Initial visit
Dr Fahrenkopf was very nice and made me feel at ease. He recommended a plan of action which was helpful. He seemed very confident of his abilities. At this point I give him 5 stars.

Deeply Unsympathetic
I broke my wrist from a dog bite, amongst other wounds, and spent a half day in the ER. Five days later I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Fahrenkopf, where he suggested I was ready to return to work immediately. I had maybe 5-10% usage of my wrist and hand at that point, with extreme swelling, gaping wounds, and severe pain. So I got a second opinion from my primary care physician. He was shocked at Dr. Fahrenkopf's suggestion, because that type of wrist break requires 6 weeks for healing. I do not trust Dr. Fahrenkopf at all and find him deeply unsympathetic.

Total disregard for lofe
I had an infection from a surgery and he kept pushing me off. I ended up admitted to the hospital but while I was in the hospital he called my phone asking me to discharge myself and to wait it out. The ER dr was firm that that would be the worst decision as I was teetering on sepsis from waiting so long at this drs advisement. Absolutely would NEVER suggest using him.
