Misdiagnosed my heart attack as a musculoskeletal issue and sent me home with muscle relaxants and the advice that "it might hurt more over the next few days". A few days later after continuous chest pain I was rushed into emergency MI treatment, and now have 2 stents in my heart. Neither he nor his office contacted me during my hospitalization or afterwards. This guy is a dangerous doctor. Patients beware.

Provided no helpful feedback, or medical advice. Would never recommend him to anyone. Was very rude, and discredited the patients symptoms.

What a pleasant experience. I was just visiting Galena, and needed a doctor. They were able to get me right in, and I was out in less than 30 minutes. Dr. Farrell is a true professional.

He is very kind and has a great bedside manner. He is very efficient and talks with you at great lengths, to make sure you understand his treatment . Never have had to wait on him very long. His nurses in his office are very good and always very nice. But the receptionist in the Midwest Clinic are cold , rude and chews gum , when trying to talk with her. Food around her desk. But I would recommend Dr. Ferrall to everyone.
