Patient verified via Press Ganey

It's a long story but I guess the biggest part was when he laughed at me because I began to cry. "Look, she's crying!". No answers. Accused me of making this appt. And wanted to know why I did that just 2 weeks after seeing him. I didn't make the appointment. Someone called about an EEG appt and I mentioned how dizzy I was and could not walk. So, I went. I had an hallucination and he pretty much said that's "Psycho". Has nothing to do with seizures.

Dr. Ferrara was patient, very informative, knowledgeable, professional, caring and kind. He did not seem rushed. He explained everything on my level and is extremely knowledgeable. I left the visit with a clear understanding of my issues, the results of research on this issue and my options for treatment. I couldn't have been more pleased!

Overall Rating: 3.0 2024-07-31

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Care provider was courteous and treated me with respect. After the negative experiences scheduling an appointment and the long wait (which gave the impression that the practice had no concern for their patients) it was encouraging to have positive interaction with the nurse and doctor.

Dr. Ferrara was very attentive to medical conditions, very caring, concern, genuine and direct with his responses. I have been very pleased with his patience and understanding as I go through this medical illness with my mom as her daughter/caregiver.

Dr. Ferrara did not explain things very well. When asked if we should return for a follow up visit to learn more about the progression and information about a condition, he said it was not necessary.
