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.

Saved My Life
Dr. Ferreria was one of the only doctors who truly helped me on my long battle against the medical system when trying to diagnose and treat cyclical Cushing's. He took me seriously, listened to me and validated my experience and most importantly was willing to take action (perform surgery) when others would not. He was honest with me that the surgery may not be successful, which I appreciate. I'm now 8 months postop and doing great - time will tell if the results are permanent but even if they're not, I'm grateful for the HUGE improvement in quality of life that I've experienced since surgery. I saw approx 25 doctors during this whole process and very few of them were willing to take meaningful action. Without Dr. Ferreria I would still be suffering. I highly recommend him and will be forever grateful.

I had a tumor growing out of the nerve sheathings in my brain on the 9, 10, and 11 cranial nerves. My experience with Dr. Ferreira was great. He is an incredible doctor and very caring. My situation was scary, but Dr. Ferreira was a calming and confident presence throughout. The surgery was 8 hours long and I have since healed and recovered really well with almost little to zero impacts.

Exceptional physician, educator and a true life saver and hero to me and my family. My husband was referred to Dr. Ferreira Neurosurgeon from JBLM because the hospital couldn’t perform the difficult surgery. We were immediately at ease after meeting Dr. Ferreira and his team. Surgery day came and check in was smooth and easy, excellent systems and protocols are in place here. Overall we are so happy and blessed to have met him and everyone who we came in contact with. He saved my husband's eyesight by removing his brain tumor and we are forever grateful. Thank you Dr. Ferreira.
