Patient Response Letter to PIMA Medical Society Article about Dr. Menick
Letter to the Editor of PIMA Medical Society:
“I am a patient of Dr. Fred Menick (featured in the August September Sombrero). He has been taking care of me since March 2009.
I had a sever nasal distortion due to repeated surgeries and radiation therapy. The plastic and reconstructive surgeon who had been treating me in Phoenix felt that I needed expert care and recommended Dr. Menick, so since March my wife and I have been commuting between Phoenix and Tucson several times a month. Anyone who’s driven between the two cities and along the Speedway will agree that this is not the most scenic or interesting drive. But it has certainly been worth it.
Dr. Menick has operated on me five times, the first requiring an overnight stay at Carondelet St. Joseph’s Hospital (where the care, incidentally has been first-rate), and the others outpatient surgeries, also at St. Joseph’s
From the freakish nose that caused me to be self-conscious and caused difficulty breathing and sleeping, a symmetrical, “normal”-looking nose is emerging. Apart from the cosmetic improvement, my breathing has improved greatly
It’s not over yet. The skin flap from my forehead that bridges from my eyebrow to the distal half of my nose has yet to be removed, and Dr. Menick plans a little more tweaking after that.
What strikes me about this gifted surgeon is his quiet competence, personal attention, and most of all, his meticulousness and attention to detail. “Close enough” is not good enough for him. It has to be perfect
I urge any physician who has not seen his new book on nasal reconstruction to have a look at it. You’ll be amazed by the results he’s achieved with the most awful nasal deformities. The book should be available at the medical college library.
We in Arizona are very fortunate to have a surgeon on Dr. Menick’s abilities in our community.

Using web video documentaries, on-line patient forms, before and after galleries, and detailed descriptions of procedures offered, Dr. Menick is able to provide a useful, interactive guide for patients to start making informed decisions on options that can meet their ultimate goals. Working in collaboration with Rosemont Media® a website design firm, Dr. Menick has crafted a new site that encompasses virtually all aspects of the surgical process, with pages devoted to what patients can expect pre- and post-operatively, as well as the details of the procedures themselves and the recovery process. He also provides patients with a meticulous biography and full listing of his credentials, and an updated blog with the latest news in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery and testimonials from some of his patients.

Dr. Menick hopes that his new website gives patients a view into his overall philosophy and studied approach to plastic surgery, as well as his commitment to helping individuals who would simply like to enhance their appearance, or those who have had a mastectomy or suffered severe facial abnormalities and need to rebuild and restore what they have lost. “The goal is to restore things to normal, not just get them healed. Making it look normal and making it look good is my goal.”
