Terrific MD, no wait time, wonderful staff. I am confident we are getting the best medical care with him. He is thorough and explains our condition well. Great personality.

He likes to worry you while he writes a prescription. Sadistic doctor, unfriendly with his nurse.

WORSE FAMILY DOCTOR. RUDE, ARROGANT AND SADISTIC. HE THINKS HE IS A SUPER START BUT ACTUALLY HE IS NOT. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH HIM.

Dr. Ferrara was my PCP for over 20 years. I always recieved excellent care as well as friendly concern and service from him and his staff. I am no longer able to use him as my PCP, but I would definitely recommend him to others. I wish he would still be available as a PCP...if so I would continuing going to him for health care.
