Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This has got to be the best Dr ever. The staff and their patience is the best I’ve seen in a long time. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Dr Ferraro is one patient person! Everyone is so kind and understanding. Love it

My mother who is 86 had a severe nose bleed and I took her to the ER. They had packed her nose and gave directions to call Dr Ferrari’s office first thing Monday morning (3/23/20). They open at 8 am I called at that time and explained I needed an appt to have this removed. My mother is not a patient of this practice. The person who answered phone said they would not be able to get her in that day which I didn’t think they would. She said she would contact the office. In mean time my mother calls and said her lip and nose seemed swollen and she was afraid of it getting infected. I called in pm had to leave message. No one called nor did they cal on Tuesday. I called again this time got office and they said he’s was M-Th 8-12. I didn’t leave a message on Tuesday but today I get a message from the office stating they weren’t accepting anymore patients to go to hsp. I did that yesterday. It took the a2 mins or less to remove it. I wouldn’t recommend this business. They are not people fri.

Very helpful and nice. I received really good care and my surgery went well with no complications. And Dr. Ferraro even went over everything with my son and gave me his cell phone number so if the office is closed you can still get questions answered. I would highly recommend.
