I saw Dr Ferdows in December 2019 for a colonoscopy and acid reflux. Dr Ferdows was very personable and listened to my symptonms. His office
and day surgery staff were very caring and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend his office and will return for my follow-up. Thank you

I had severe acid reflux. I saw several doctors and they prescribed medication that didn’t work. Someone suggested Dr Ferdows. Met with him and he was very thorough in the office regarding my symptoms and such. He suggested an upper Endoscopy to see what the issue really was. I did the procedure and I have Barretts. He treated me and I’m so much better now. Thank you Dr Ferdows!

Easy Scheduling, great Staff, amazing doctor. When in for my first routine colonscopy. Dr Ferdows discovered cancerous polyp. He and his staff were great. They scheduled everything, surgery, post op. From discovery to cancer free in less than three weeks. Will use no one else for my future care. Outstanding practice.

Before going to see him I had seen 3 different gastroenteritis in town and no results.They all did colonoscopy and told me nothing. A friend recommended Dr Ferdows.He was the only one who listened to me and treated me with respect and dignity. I'm fine now and I have to see him every 3 months for the follow up.I am so happy that I listened to my friend and went to see him. The office was beautiful and everybody was very welcoming, putting me at ease.A big thank you to Dr Ferdows.

Worst and most rude person I have ever dealt with. I would never recommend him and would steer people away. Does not listen or care about what you say and just wants to give you more and more pills and higher doses instead of trying to find the actual cause of the issue to fix it. Rudely interupts and treats you like you are a mindless baby.

Our first encounter with Dr Ferdows was extremely professional and thorough in walking us through everything that we were experiencing with this disease. What I appreciated the most with Dr Ferdows was his expertise and understanding of how to treat my brothers symptoms during this time. I appreciated his honesty about the seriousness of what we are dealing with both from the patient side and the care-giving perspective.
