Dr. Thomas Fahey III, MD

Met with Dr.Fahey for a consultation & 2nd opinion. He will now become my specialist.

The procedure went very well with no pain.

I have been seeing Dr. Fahey for many years and can definitive say he represents the absolute best one can ever hope for in a physician. He responds to any question with careful thoughtfulness and is an absolute expert in his field. He combines genuine empathy for his patient with an in-depth knowledge of the intricacies of medical procedures. One can be totally sure one has placed themselves in the most competent and skillful hands when choosing Dr. Fahey as one's surgeon.

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.

Couldn't be better! He understood that I was just over a major spinal surgery and defiantly not looking forward to another situation 'under a knife'. He put me at ease, explained options, and he and his team were responsive to my outreach. Can't say enough positive things about his low key manner, concern for my anxieties, and reassured me throughout the process. He's a true gem!

Dr. Fahey is simply the best. His thinking outside the box saved my life! The entire staff is so helpful and extremely professional.

My first contact with Dr. Fahey was a virtual visit. He was very kind and made me feel at ease with a plan to address my condition. He answered all of my questions, and I had a lot. I was very nervous but after speaking with Dr. Fahey, I feel comfortable going forward with him as my surgeon. The staff members I spoke with prior to the visit were very nice.

On my first visit Dr. Fahey explained everything until I fully understood the situation and my options. We decided to wait and follow up at a later date, which was this visit. I started with a scan in the early am and then had my appointment 2 hours later. There was a timing issue with getting the scans back from radiology, which resulted in a very long wait. If getting same day scans, I would suggest leaving at least 3 hours between appointments. Met with the NP Erin (loved!) and then Dr Fahey. He decided to do another biopsy and after a short wait I was taken in. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Fahey and his team. He explained everything in layman’s terms and I left with a clear plan. He has a great bedside manner and clearly understands how to speak to patients with respect.

Thorough, professional and good “bedside” manner

Very nice and kind. I came in with a specific problem and surgical consultation. He asked me to do lots of tests but I still have no clear path and how the tests will guide the decision if I need surgery or not. I would not go back since he is not able to clearly articulate what I have and how all the test are going to guide the process and help me make a decision.

I was so fortunate and blessed to be able to see such a professional, exceptional physician. Dr. Fahey listened, answered questions and left no stone unturned. I know that if there is anyone who can help me it is Dr. Fahey. Not only is he exceptional so is his entire staff.

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 surgery 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.The entire staff was fantastic and scheduling was very prompt.

I needed surgery to remove a hyperparathyroid and Dr. Fahey was highly recommended. He did not disappoint. He was easy to talk to and spent time to explain my condition and the how the surgery was to be performed. He ordered all necessary pre testing to insure the surgery would go off without a hitch. He and his staff we all amazing.

Dr Fahey is a great listener and helps to anticipate your concerns and questions and suggests options to best suit your care. So reassuring!

He asked important questions, listened attentively to my list of symptoms. He explained everything in details and showed me diagrams as well. I felt a strong sense of trust, plus he was very highly recommended to me by a friend who had surgery with him. She told me he was fabulous and extremely caring.

Was thoughtful and did not want to rush into surgery until a nuclear test proved I needed it. My surgery was a hugh success and I had absolutely no pain. After two weeks I walked a mile yesterday and I am 87 years old. If you need gall bladder surgery, see Dr. Fahey.

Dr. Fahey possesses a remarkable combination of extensive knowledge, supreme surgical skill, and compassion towards his patients. If you have found him, know that you have found the best. He can expertly navigate through the most difficult medical situations leaving one feeling assured of the best possible outcome. He explains medical nuances carefully and honors his patients' perspective. He performs surgery with the finesse of it being an art form. He is truly all one could hope for in a physician.

Dr. Fahey is extremely knowledgeable, thorough in both examination and explanation, kind, and caring. I’m so thankful for being recommended to his practice and would not hesitate to give a referral.

MY VISIT WITH DR. FAHEY WAS GREAT, HE IS JUST A WONDERFUL PERSON, AND A GREAT DOCTOR, HE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS.

Dr. Fahey and his entire staff are wonderful. Simply, they are the best! I have adrenal gland and thyroid nodules. I was very nervous about having a thyroid nodule biopsy but Dr. Fahey, his nurses and entire administrative staff eased my fears. Dr. Fahey listens, reviews labs, and is calm, caring, and gentle, trying to make the experience as painless as possible.
