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 went to Dr. Ferolo for general fatigue and feeling “off” about 6 months after having my second baby. He was comforting in saying it was probably just have two little ones, but wanted bloodwork anyway just to be sure. Something did come back in the bloodwork, while still staying honest and positive, he sent me to a specialist immediately.

I left Ferolo‘s practice because he became very uninterested in helping me find solutions to my medical problems or offering treatment options.He tends to drag things out instead of referring to specialist I was in tremendous cervical pain for six months and he only tried a steroid to help me. He would not send me for an MRI or to neurologist, claiming MRI would do nothing for me and I should expect this degeneration in my cervical spine due to age (64) I have since seen many doctors who have helped me with my pain, including physical therapy, trigger point shots, and a cervical epidural steroid epidural. I am currently pain-free and sleeping at night. On several occasions I asked Dr. Ferolo to refer me to a dermatologist for a mole check. I have had several cancerous moles removed previously. His answer was to keep an eye on it for more than six months at which time they had to dig out cancerous mole + 3 stitches last visit with Dr. Ferolo, he became very rude and angry.
