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. Ferry was great. My son hurt his elbow and he was kind and straight to the point.

Knowledgeable and Efficient
The visit was on-time as scheduled and the team was quick but very efficient in meeting with us to thoroughly review our situation and recommend a go forward plan. Doctor spoke to my daughter kindly and asked a lot of questions to fully understand what was going on for our situation.

Fantastic experience
If you want a Dr that truly cares about his patients well-being, Dr Ferry is that guy. As a parent with no medical experience, I need a Dr that I can trust will look out for my child as if it was their own. Dr Ferry has proven to be an outstanding surgeon and a physician that truly cares.

The best all around pediatric orthopedic surgeon
Dr. Ferry has a calm, patient, kind, yet thorough and professional demeanor. We’ve had the opportunity to work with him multiple times over the past 13 years and he remains one of favorite MDs. We refer our friends to him on a regular basis.
