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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ferrara’s for more than 20 years, and he has cared for several family members as well. I have always found him to be kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Highly recommend him.

Not available. Not able to have difficult conversation with end stage patient. Does not return calls, and cancels appts even for those most in need. There are many qualified cardiologists. Go somewhere else

I was working with Dr. Ferrara and all I can say is he's the most genuine and kindest man I have ever met. The way his patients spoke to me about him made me enjoy being around him much more. I never thought I'd be in the medical field but he is one of the main reasons I would go to med school and become a doctor just like himself.
