Throughout dental school at the University of Iowa and medical school at Louisiana State University, he distinguished himself with honors ranging from Intern of the Year to accolades for high achievement in gross anatomy. After receiving his doctorate in medicine in 2001, he completed a surgical internship in general surgery at Charity Hospital and an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the Louisiana State University Health Science Center.

Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery offers office-based corrective jaw surgery, a distinctive approach that sets it apart from many practices across the country. Additionally, Dr. Farrell is involved in surgical observation programs and has played a key role in the fellowship program for the past 18 years.

  • The Best of the Best

    I would absolutely recommend Dr. Brian Farrell and his team! I am almost a year post-op from double jaw surgery and cannot say enough good things about them. Every single person I interacted with were incredible. They took so much time and effort to really prepare me before the surgery and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I am so happy with my final results and truly believe Dr. Farrell and this team are the best of the best!

  • Incredibly Grateful

    No one ever plans on having jaw surgery, but if you ever need the procedure, there is no better place than Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery. Dr. Brian Farrell and his team did an amazing job with my surgery, which has truly changed my life. Dr. Farrell explains every step of the process thoroughly, and there have not been any complications post-surgery. My only regret is that I did not have Dr. Farrell perform this surgery sooner. He and his team made this procedure as easy as possible for me through their expertise, communication, and kindness. I am incredibly grateful that I had them perform my surgery and cannot thank them enough for what they have done for me.

  • Wonderful Experience

    I had a wonderful experience at Carolinas Center for Oral and Facial Surgery. The staff was able to schedule me in for my consultation and surgery very quickly, everyone was kind and knowledgeable, and my surgeon, Dr. Brian Farrell, was outstanding! He was very personable and down to earth and really put my mind at ease. My recovery went smoothly with virtually none of the discomforts that I anticipated, which I assume is because of having a very skilled surgeon. What’s more, a member of Dr. Farrell’s team reached out to me shortly after surgery to check on me and to make herself available in case I had any questions or concerns. She responded quickly whenever I had questions and was also very friendly. I am so glad I wound up here for my surgery, and I would highly recommend this office for any of your surgical needs.
