“Best Doctor and Staff - Indianapolis”

"I've always considered BA for awhile now. I finally decided to just do it because there was no reason in waiting. I have done multiple searches on many doctors in the Indianapolis area. I randomly had a talk with my roommate one day and she had mentioned that her mother had BA done by Dr. Fata. I narrowed it down to Dr. Fata and another Dr... the phone manner was amazing from Dr. Fata's office. Donette is just wonderful! She didn't keep me on hold, she took her time with me, and not once (throughout this entire process) did I ever find her to rush me at all. I felt like I've known her for years! She was extremely kind and worked with my schedule and got me into a consultation as soon as I needed and was able to come in. Once I got to the initial consultation, I felt comfortable after meeting her in person and the minute I met Dr. Fata, I knew that I would be going with him. I scheduled my surgery literally three days after. I really believe that he is professional to the degree that he needs to be, honest and up front, but not rude, and is very realistic. Even though it's only been a week, I am impressed with the results! I am extremely glad that I didn't go with the other doctor (I would name her but I feel rude doing so). I did more research and read some bad reviews on BA and felt uncomfortable with the idea. I have yet to find one bad thing that anyone has had to say about Dr. Fata and I don't think they will. Anyways, to sum it up- best choice I've made so far! I'm looking forward to months to come and will def. recommend Dr. Fata and especially his staff to any and everyone."

I simply will not go to any other surgeon for my cosmetic needs, and I have recommended Dr. Fata to numerous family and friends. Dr. Fata is extremely thorough and easy to understand in his explanation of treatment options, and he ensures you receive the appropriate care to meet your specific needs. Dr. Fata’s staff never ceases to impress me with their ability to go above and beyond what is expected, and they make you feel at ease from the moment you walk into the office until your last follow- up visit.

“Always a Positive Experience - Indianapolis, IN”

"From the time you walk in the office until you leave, Dr. Fata and his entire staff make you feel like you are the only one there, which is rare for many doctor offices. I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience at Dr. Fata’s office. Dr. Fata and Donnette take the time to answer all your questions and addressing any concerns that you may have allowing you to make an informed decision and making sure that you’re doing it for the right reasons, putting you completely at ease. They always follow up to see how you’re doing no matter what the procedure. They truly care..."

“Great Experience, Great Doctor, Great Results - Indianapolis, IN”

"Dr. Fata met all of my expectations and then some. He was professional while still making me feel like more than just another patient. I couldn't be happier with the service, the staff, and the entire experience. Dr. Fata and his staff made my experience feel like more than just a surgical procedure. The lovely ladies, especially Donette, were so nice and caring. I am truly amazed that each year when I visit for a checkup, they remember me and it feels like we've picked up right where we left off from the last visit. The staff is professional, yet warm and friendly. Every time I vist, I don't want to leave! Dr. Fata has given me a great experience, and I feel that I was very lucky to have found such a skilled, experienced, and courteous Doctor."

“It Pays to Do Your Homework! I'm So Pleased with my Results - Indianapolis, IN”

"Boy does it pay to do your homework! After weeks and weeks of looking for a surgeon I came across Dr. Fata profile somewhere on the internet and love everything I read about him. I couldn’t find any negative feedback on him anywhere, so the decision was made that I will call first in the morning to book a consultation. The very next morning I called and reached Donette, an assistant of Dr. Fata who had the most pleasant phone manner I have experience while calling a doctor’s office. After a lengthy conversation as to what I want done we ended up setting my appointment for later on that SAME day. Once in the office everything was just as I read about, no wait time, very pleasant staff, and a knowledgeable doctor. After the consultation which included my husband we both decided that I didn’t need to look any further. I booked the next morning and my surgery was set to be done two weeks later(if I had too much time in between I would have only changed my mind a thousand times before going through with it). The next two weeks I call and talk to Donette several times to discuss my fear of being put to sleep , and each time she answered my questions as if it was the first time I called and always encouraged me to call back if I can think of anything else (I was never rushed off the phone, which had a lot to do with way I made it through to the procedure). Thanks to all of the information that was sent home with me and my talks with Donette I was well prepared for the day of surgery. Everything went as planned, the surgery center, as well as the staff there was nice, and Dr Fata let ME make the final decisions as to what or how much would be done as he marked my body to show what he would do while I’m a sleep. The surgery was a success and I’m very pleased with my results so far. I’m 30 days post op today and have had three follow up visit, which has all been with Dr. Fata and a member of his staff. I find Dr. Fata to be a skilled man who takes pride in getting the best results possible, as for his staff they take pride in making sure you are comfortable while making a life changing decisions. Tia S."
