Dr. Thomas J. Fahey, IIi, MD

Exceptional. The safest I’ve felt in any surgeons hands. Not only is Dr Fahey superb but he has a team that works very well together in communicating and keeping you assured. Deciding to have a thyroidectomy was something I didn’t want to have to make, so if I was actually going to, I had to have the best. May God continue to bless his hands. He is a warm and inviting human. Literally adorable.

Dr. Fahey and his medical team are absolutely fantastic. I have received outstanding medical care from him and his practice. I am forever grateful to all of them.

It doesn’t get any better than Dr. Fahey. He saved my life! I would wait as long as it takes to be seen by him and his outstanding team.

It was my first visit with Dr. Fahey. He was very knowledgeable and highly professional. At the same time I also found him to be kind and attentive. He patiently listened to all my questions and concerns and took time to explain things to me very clearly. I felt that he is a doctor that takes good care of his patients and that I am in good hands!

Doctor was extremely knowledgeable with amazing bedside manner. The moment I got to speak with Dr. Fahey, I knew I was in great hands. He really is an extraordinary physician.

In the past, my experiences with doctors in New York have always felt very in-and-out — efficient, rushed, and focused on getting straight to the point. Understandably so, given how valuable their time is. But for the first time, with Dr. Fahey, I met a doctor whose energy felt truly present. He was engaged, grounded, and fully in the moment with me throughout my consultation, surgery and post op care.

Dr.Fahey is a skilled and knowledgeable doctor. I felt I was in safe hands with a diagnosis for my hernia that made sense and that felt right. I left with options and a plan in the event that I needed further care. Just what you want to know when seeking a healthcare provider. As always, NYP and their physicians leaves the door wide open in case of need. Ileen Greenberg

I felt incredibly supported and truly heard by Dr. Fahey. He took the time to explain everything in detail and patiently answered all my questions. He examined my thyroid through ultrasound and even arranged for me to have a full neck ultrasound to check my lymph nodes the same day. I traveled from outside NYC to consult Dr. Fahey, and he and his team made sure everything was done efficiently and promptly. I can’t thank them enough for their care and attention. Dr. Fahey’s personalized approach is rare among surgeons, and it made a huge difference in my experience. My case is borderline, and I'm still considering whether to proceed with surgery or wait. However, I’m confident that if I choose surgery with Dr. Fahey, it will be the right decision for me.Claudia, my main point of contact, was amazing—she responded to all my emails and calls promptly and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. Additionally, the entire team at NY Presbyterian Hospital was outstanding. I had… interactions with the front desk staff in radiology, and they were so kind and helpful. Overall, my experience as a patient at this hospital exceeded my expectations. I’ve never had such a positive experience at doctor’s offices in my city, and I’m grateful for the exceptional care I received.

Dr Fahey has been my most trusted surgeon following my thyroid nodules for over 10 years. Whether he has performed sonograms, biopsies or ablation surgery on my nodules, he has talked me through every step and patiently answered my every question. I find the occasional long waits to see him an assurance he is providing each and every patient that same focus and concern I will be given when it is my turn. He’s the best, supported by an excellent nursing staff and NP Erin!

Dr. Fahey took the time to explain all of my options. When I had further questions, he responded via email and no question was too silly. I had never had surgery before and my entire experience with Dr. Fahey and Weill-Cornell/ NYP were beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Fahey to anyone needing thyroid surgery. He is a fantastic surgeon with an excellent bedside manner.
