Dr. Marc Charles Fater, MD

I wanted to wait until about a year after my surgery so I could give a very accurate review. Let me start by saying ...do your homework! I completely settled on this doctor because he was the only one that I reached out to that did not request a letter from a chiropractor nor was he interested in making me wait a year after having my daughter like every other office was. And when you are in so much pain from bra strap indents and rashes underneath your breasts and back pain, with a 5 month old at home that you have to take care of , plus years and years of feeling disproportionate and insecure.. you are willing to accept things that you shouldn't. Like the lack of professionalism from this office. I reached out originally through their website and got a one-line email back with zero company signature or any kind of professional language. It was the kind of an email you would get from your girlfriend. "Ya we accept your insurance". This office is in a building that is basically empty… which is a little unsettling. Oh and make sure you plan to wait longer than you should even though no one else will be there. The doctor examined me without a nurse in the room and without gloves on. Which may be standard practice but I felt extremely uncomfortable with it. He also drew out a picture of what my scars would look like and let me tell you that is by far my biggest complaint about this entire thing! I should have realized when my appointment was only 15-20 minutes long and he was already telling me he was going to do whatever to get me approved and ..he did! I know that may sound like a good thing when you're in the situation I was in and want the reduction but it doesn't seem normal if you call other places and hear how they want you to have letters and proof and some even want you to go to therapy to understand the extent of what you're going through and so on. The procedure was done at the Cape Cod hospital which I have no complaints about. The hospital is very nice and everyone that works there is very professional. After my procedure I saw the doctor for about 2 minutes. Then he had me come in for a follow up a few days later. I am sure everyone that goes through this procedure wakes up in pain and has to take the pain meds and feels awful and starts regretting what they just did to their body. So I'm not going to act like I'm the only one when it comes to that. But when you take off the bandages and see your body basically cut apart.it is pretty upsetting. He cut so much more than he said he would and so much more than the drawing he drew. So at my first appointment I was obviously upset and asked him about it and it was like I asked him for his first born childs blood. He was so disgusted that I was questioning him that his entire attitude and demeanor towards me changed from there on out. As in who am I to question this doctor about my own body! About something that was completely different from what he told me before the procedure! Did his explanation of why the cuts were bigger make sense? Sure! But this is something that should be discussed before or at least immediately following or not be met was attitude. His ego completely showed at that appointment. So here I am 11 months later and I still have insanely visible scars that are lumpy and two nipples that are completely uneven. I went from having the tightest chest possible right after the procedure because of how high they were to less than a year later having them completely droop and fall. Keep in mind you get a breast lift when getting this procedure. I fully admit that I have very fair skin so it may take longer for my scars to fade than others but I have seen plenty of before and after photos that look much better than mine. Not from his office, mind you, because he doesn't actually show you any and if you ask the front desk to see some she won't either. And speaking of the front desk... my entire experience with them was unpleasant. From not getting a single call returned to unprofessional emails to waiting much longer than needed to just getting an attitude from the woman at the front desk who looks like she would rather be doing her makeup then dealing with you. He charges you $120 for every post-op visit and expects you to come in a bunch of times. I would drive 2 hours there to spend 5 minutes with him each time and then be charged $120 and if I would ask the front desk if I owe them anything they would say no and then I would get a bill from a collections agency .which was my last straw with this awful office. They sell products at their office triple the price of what you can find online. The assistant told me this herself! Basically there is zero post-op instructions. Everything I know about taking care of myself was from the internet. I also asked the assistant to stay in the room with me at one of my appointments because I was uncomfortable being examined by just the doctor and after saying she would she walked out and left me there alone anyways. I certainly don't want to say that this was the biggest mistake of my life because I went from a G to a D which also by the way was much bigger than I wanted to be but he decided how they were going to look not me. But my point is if I could go back in time and have chosen a office that was professional and kind and had a doctor who has a better bedside manner, who you could actually talk to and actually cared about your recovery and not just about making money then I definitely would. I would not recommend this office to anybody. And by the way when i cancelled my last appointment after teething a letter from collections on a bill i tried to pay in person, no one even called to reschedule. Shows how much they cared about my recovery huh

I have been to Dr Fater several times and trust his judgment completely. He will actually steer you away from procedures he feels you would not benefit from and has never let me down with his results.

Dr. Fater is the consummate professional. His precision in surgery is excellent. His office staff are kind and considerate.

Dr. Fater performed my breast reconstruction after my mastectomy. It was a rush job and should never have been performed as the course of action was to wait for the pathology reports to ensure there was no cancer in my lymph nodes. The final report was not back prior to the reconstruction and after the fact it was discovered there was cancer in my lymph nodes. A tissue expander should have been put but the reconstruction was done anyway. I ended up having to have radiation on the side with the breast implant and am now left with Stage 4 capsular contracture - hardening of the implant surrounded by scar tissue, a very painful condition. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

I had a blepharoplasty done with Dr. Marc Fater in 2015. Although he seemed a bit stand-offish at the first meeting he is a no nonsense, down to earth professional. I am completely satisfied with the surgery and after treatment received by Dr. Fater. Since their was some swelling he scheduled me for an additional of 3 follow up visits WITHOUT charge. The surgery had the requested result and healing time was very quick. The office and surgery staff is super nice and they make you feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Fater.

I have had 4 surgeries and laser treatment anf wouldn't trust any other doctor but Marc Fater ! He is an exceptional surgeon and I highly trust his opinion . He's also the only doctor you will look forward to seeing .

I had cancer surgery last year which left a very bad scar on my shoulder. Dr. Fater fixed the scar and it no longer looks terrible. He did an outstanding job!!

I am in my late 20's and went to Dr Fater to get implants. I am in a professional field with a small build. I requested a natural look and that is exactly what I got. I am so happy with my decision to go with Dr Fater. I am two weeks post op and feel great. I know the implants still need to settle but so far so good.The girls in the office are wonderful and easy to work with. I would do it all over again if I had the choice.
