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’ve been a patient of Dr Feerst for over 20 years. He always spends time with me, and makes sure I understand the treatment plan. Last year my wife was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in passing I mentioned that we were doing a 5k walk to support the Lymphoma society. He came to the walk to support her, even though she’s not a patient of his. Her own doctors didn’t come, but Dr Feerst did.

i Have been going to Dr Feerst for a long time. I have always liked him. Until now. He found out that I have been taking testosterone and basically treated me like a child. I have had a great relationship with him and his staff for many years. But he actually judged me which made me feel horrible. They also never provided me with a copy of my last blood test results. I told them I was changing doctors and the receptionist said I would have to pay for a copy. Even though I already paid????

I thought I liked this Dr on my first visit to him until I got the billing statement showing his Annual Wellness Exam was $470. YET we pay nothing I was told by the girl at the front desk. So whats wrong with this Picture? Free for us but the Dr is billing $470 to the ins comp For that reason I will not go back to him. Plus when I had my records sent to them, Ms Friendly up front said they didnt have them under the 2 Ft pile there, later they were found......

I love Dr Feerst and everyone in his office. I have always been able to get into see to him right away. His nursing staff is fantastic and have gone out of their way to make myself and my family feel like we are part of their family. I love that a person answers the phone when I call and I don't have to leave a message.

Dr. Feerst is a very knowledgeable physician. He is the best part of the practice. His receptionist, Nicole, is an extremely rude and unsympathetic person. She really gives the practice a negative atmosphere. When I was having an issue, and contacted the office, Nicole was curt and then cut me off mid sentence. I, of course, was concerned about a health issue and she cut me off mid sentence and said "let me finish". This is not the type of care you want from the staff at your Dr.'s offic

I have never felt rushed by Dr. Feerst. He explains medical issues in plain language and is very frank in telling me what I can do to improve my overall health. He is very open to suggesting other specialists when appropriate. I find him easy to work with and genuinely interested in improving my health and well being.

"Dr." Feerst is a quack. He doesn't take his profession seriously and misdiagnoses maladies due to his inability to prescribe the correct tests.

Excellent physician. Listens, explains, interacts in a warm, personable and totally professional manner. Outstanding. I would recommend getting blood test elsewhere. At least in my case, his nurse had trouble finding a vein. I'm impressed that Dr. Feerst provides same-day service. If you call with a problem, they will fit you in that same day. My significant other has been going to him for 30 years. I can see why. I recommend Dr. Feerst without reservation.
