What People Are Saying About Garth…

"Choosing a doctor to make life altering changes to your face is a daunting challenge. Whether you make the right choice or the wrong choice, you will live with and wear that decision for the rest of your life. My recommendation to anyone contemplating major cosmetic surgery, such as a facelift, would be to search out the best doctor, regardless of costs. Otherwise don’t do it.

When I decided to have a facelift, although I was influenced by what I saw on ABC’s Extreme Makeover, I did a lot of research beyond that show. Even though I live in Boston, there was no question in my mind that you were the only choice for me. And now that my facelift is behind me, there is no doubt I made the right decision. I am in awe of your brilliance, your skills and your bedside manor. Although we are complete strangers, you’ve made me and my wife feel like friends. And I am over-the-top thrilled with the results. I couldn’t be happier. Everything I imagined and more.

Friends who haven’t seen me for a while tell me I look great. Initially I hadn’t planed on telling anybody I had ‘work done’, but now I have decided to tell them I owe it to lots of exercise, a good diet and to my ‘friend’ Dr. Garth Fisher, arguably the best cosmetic surgeon in the world.

I want to thank you for everything. The entire ordeal has been strangely one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. The professionalism of your staff, your Serenity recovery center, and your ‘perfectionist’ attention to every detail made the experience painless.

I know you must get thousands of these letters, but certainly feel free to share this with any and all who have apprehensions about making the right choice.
I am forever grateful,"    -GC
