Caring for Patients Beyond Westport
Dr. Mark Fisher, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has built his Westport, Connecticut practice around patients traveling from well beyond the local area. His practice has developed a dedicated process for these patients, coordinating logistics from the first phone call through the final follow-up. Schedule a consultation to start planning a visit.
Getting to the Practice
Dr. Fisher's practice is located in Westport, Connecticut, a short drive from Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains for patients flying in from out of state. Those traveling through the New York metropolitan area can also fly into JFK or LaGuardia and continue on to Westport by car. Once your travel dates are confirmed, the practice's team is happy to provide directions and assist with your travel arrangements.
Post-Op Care & Recovery
For patients who arrange a private post-op nurse, that nurse meets them at the surgery center and provides transportation to a partner hotel or apartment for the early stage of recovery.
The practice can help coordinate these arrangements, along with transportation to and from follow-up appointments, so out of town patients aren’t left managing the details alone.
Accommodations & Recommendations
Every patient has different preferences for where to stay during recovery. A few options near the practice include:
The Styled Stay
Design-led short-term and monthly furnished homes in Westport and nearby towns, offering special pricing for Dr. Fisher’s patients.
The Delamar Southport
A boutique hotel a short drive from the practice, known for refined rooms and attentive service.
Airbnb Rentals Near Westport
A popular choice for patients traveling with a companion or staying through an extended recovery, with more space and privacy than a typical hotel room.
Extended-Stay Apartments
A private residence with a kitchen and separate living area, useful for longer recovery stays.
The practice’s team can help point patients toward the right fit once travel dates and length of stay are confirmed.
Local Patients
Out-of-state travel isn’t the only reason to book a room. Local patients often spend their first night of recovery away from home too, choosing a nearby hotel or a family member’s guest room to rest without managing household responsibilities.
This small step can make the first day after a procedure easier, no matter how far a patient traveled to reach the practice.
Why Choose Dr. Fisher for Your Care
Patients travel to see Dr. Fisher because that level of training isn’t available everywhere. His fellowship in craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery, paired with his broader experience in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, breast, and body, gives him a breadth of expertise that draws patients from well outside the immediate area. He also holds a faculty position as Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and has authored more than twenty peer-reviewed publications in leading plastic surgery journals.

Length of stay depends on the specific procedure and how recovery is progressing. Dr. Fisher’s team will provide a personalized timeline during the consultation and pre-operative appointments.

This depends on the procedure and the mode of travel. Long car rides or flights taken too soon after surgery may carry added risk, so the practice will advise on a safe timeframe for heading home based on individual recovery progress.
