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.

Do not have a surgery with him
Telehealth
Dr Grant Fairbanks is not honest. After the surgery lots of fees and fines will show up for things that you had no idea were done because he did not tell you before. Then if you ask what was that for he will say general explanation that were never agreed upon before surgery and the only option you have is to pay and pray that you never see his face again. Do not trust him. He is only after the money. And be aware that the price will be double or more after surgery is done.

I have had outstanding results with the procedures Dr. Fairbanks has performed on me. My facelift turned out fantastic and then I had a mastopexy with removal of implants that turned out superb. I am so pleased and extremely grateful to Dr. Fairbanks for his expertise. I would absolutely recommend him and his staff for any of your cosmetic needs.

Dr. Fairbanks is a caring doctor who takes his time to listen and then explain even drawing sketches of what his plans and possible outcomes can look like. He does the best face/neck lifts. If you want to look 20 years younger without complications choose this artist.

He's performed 7 surgeries for our family. He's conservative in every aspect of his approach to the surgery performed. He doesn't risk your health. He goes above and beyond to avoid infections and disfigurements. He can perform procedures within his facility and it can save the patient thousands of dollars. His staff and nurses are caring and helpful. He's available for you before, during and after the surgeries. He's an ARTIST with many awards for his outstanding surgical achievements.

Dr. Fairbanks not only changed but saved my life. I had several procedures preformed. He first removed ugly and potential cancerous facial and back moles. Dr. Grant’s facial rejuvenation surgery, following the tragic and sudden death of my husband, gave me hope which helped me revive my professional appearance and courage to date and find love again. Best yet, if it wasn’t for the removal of C-section scarring I wouldn’t have followed up on some symptoms that lead to discovery of cancer. Amazing

Don’t always trust a doctor that makes you believe he’s the best. Always get second opinions, do lots of research, take your time and have a list of questions you want answered. My experience with Dr Fairbanksplasticsurgery was devastating!

I have absolutely loved my experience with Dr. Grant R. Fairbanks Sr. -- I recently had a facelift done by him, his results are natural looking and his technique is practiced by few in the United States. You will look 15-20 years younger than your current age! He has been in practice 40+ years and facelifts are his signature surgery. His credentials are impressive and an added bonus is that he is an artist and sculptor as well. He's meticulously detail-oriented - I love that!
