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.

Dr Ferguson is outstanding because of forward thinking of patient health. He is always ahead of the curve with preventative testing before problems occur. He is acutely aware of what tests a patient needs. I find this approach so refreshing and appreciate his knowledge.

A Fresh Start
After years of being disappointed and frustrated with the care provided by my previous Primary Care physician, I decided to make a change. My reservations about starting with a new doctor at age 64, while having numerous health issues, were quickly put at ease. Dr. Ferguson has proven to be a welcomed relief when compared with the last 2 or 3 physicians I have used over the years. Dr. Ferguson took a great deal of time asking questions about my current health concerns. As expected, the doctor ordered lab tests. What I didn't expect was the level of detail Dr. Ferguson provided while explaining the results, one test at a time. He ordered additional testing based upon the results, again with detailed explanation. This never happened with the previous doctors, whereas they were quick to refer me to another doctor. I feel confident that Dr. Ferguson has a very good understanding of my current health status, and that he has made the appropriate decisions in recommended treatment.

Doctor Ferguson saved my life. His routine insistence on blood work caught a small spike in my PSA levels. That led to a visit with a Urologist which led to a biopsy which led to early detection of my stage 2 prostate cancer. Dr. Ferguson is professional and thorough and you can’t do better.

Dr. Ferguson was recommended for me years ago when I was searching for a first class doctor. He is absolutely a "first class" physician!! He is knowledgeable, considerate, kind, gentlemanly, an expert is choosing and selecting appropriate medication for patients, and the best choice I could have made for medical care. I feel comfortable and safe with his care, especially as I age close to 90.

Dr. Ferguson conducted a review of my recent blood test. He compared the current blood test with the most previous one and thoroughly explained the positive numbers generated from the more recent blood test. He determined that the prescription medicine types and dosages were both accurate and effective. I was very impressed with the doctors analysis of the blood tests and of highlighting improvements made using the current prescription dosage. A 6 week follow up visit is scheduled to ensure that the current positive responses to his dosage recommendations are stable or even improved upon.

I first saw Dr. Ferguson when he was at the old Medic 1 Clinic. I was very happy to find out years later that he had started his own practice. He is very thorough and takes his time with me at each visit. He always answers my questions in a clear manner and explains my lab results in detail. I have complete confidence that I am getting excellent medical advice and feel very comfortable discussing my health issues with him.

I've been a patient of Dr Ferguson's for over six years and have found him to be a very good doctor. I have confidence in his work. Only complaint is with waiting times after an appointment has been made. My experience is to expect to be met 45-60 minutes late.

Last year, Dr. Ferguson ordered a screening scan that detected a very small tumor in my lung. I would not have thought to do this scan on my own. Fortunately, it was found at a stage that was able to be successfully treated. He goes through lab results line-by-line, both normal and abnormal results. Staff is polite and courteous. Thank you, Dr. Ferguson

Moved here from out of State. Searched long time for a Dr we thought we would be comfortable with. We have not had a Dr as thorough as Dr Ferguson. He will repeat blood tests and follow up until your condition is nailed down. - First Dr in my 70 years to be that thorough.

Doctor Ferguson is always 'in the moment" and listening. He will answer your questions very thoroughly, thoughtfully and completely. He is on your side and not in a rush or staring into a computer typing during your visit. A rare breed of physician. He is the best doctor we have encountered in a combined 100 years or so of seeing doctors.

Stay away from this doctor and his practice. He is rude with no respect for your time or care for your concerns. He will have you arrive 30 min early, wait over an hour past your appt time, spend 10 min with you, and make you wait in the lobby up to an hour for your prescriptions, etc after that! He will order immensely expensive unnecessary tests without explaining them to you and claim that if your insurance does not pay, neither will you. Well, yes you will be expected to pay. Go elsewhere!
