If you are looking for help for your pain, don't bother with this guy, he is all about offering more surgery that will guarantee 50%-75% pain relief right off the bat, right away, let's go!, or else! He didn't seem to have any other alternatives, so if you are looking for other help besides more surgery with flowery promises of pain elimination/reduction, then just don't bother. I got the distinct impression (I could be much more blunt about how he acted but I won't go there and maybe give someone the impression that I have something personal against the guy) that he thought I was a junkie. He even made a derogatory comment about doubting my ability to read the pamphlets he gave me. It really is hard to find a good doctor today, really difficult so don't give up and shop around and read the reviews, I wish I would have!

Can’t say enough good about Dr Ferro and staff. Compassionate. Listens closely to what you have to say or questions you may have. He has given me my life back. I am willing to talk to anyone about my great experiences.

Poor patient care. The staff is rude. The doctor performs all these costly procedures which do not help then sends you back to your primary care doctor. Doctor and his staff unwilling to help when you are in severe pain.

It has been many years since I saw him however if I could I would see him in a minute. Staff was always very helpful and kind. One of the top doctors and staff I have ever seen.

I have been with Dr. Ferro for 8 years now and I am so happy that we found him. My brother in law was doctoring with him when we moved to the area. He has given me back a life that I am able to enjoy my later years. His staff is exemplary, so caring, tender and kind. I have a favorite, Emily. Thank you Dr. Ferro, please don't leave our area.

I have been, and am a patient of Dr. Richard Ferro for almost two decades, and I believe he is the best, if not, one of the best IN THE WORLD at what he does. Patients come to central lower Michigan from multiple states to see him. I only wish I could say the same about the office staff!

This person is not a specialist, I went to one of his clinics and was turned down for any treatment for pain management because I had no money.
