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.

Perfect Gallbladder Removal
Dr. Ferzli removed my gallbladder on January 12, 2024, at Staten Island University Hospital on Seaview Avenue, and I was extremely happy with the results and have changed my diet and lost weight since the procedure. He put me at ease before and after the surgery.

Excellent!
Dr. Ferzli performed my gallbladder surgery recently in December 2023. From the initial consultation through the post-op follow up, the level of care I received was outstanding .He is very personable and patient. He answered my questions and his explanations were presented in layman’s terms. Additionally, his office staff is friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommended!

No time for questions
I went to see this doctor to get his opinion about a surgical procedure. He was the third surgeon I visited, and I was looking forward to meeting him, as he seemed to be highly experienced and had great reviews everywhere. I drove over an hour and a half just to go see him. Well, he gave me his opinion for sure, but quickly lost his patience when I started asking questions. What he told me differed significantly from what the first two surgeons told me, so naturally I wanted to find out why. He basically kicked me out after my 5-10 minutes were up. If he cannot even make the time to answer questions from a potential patient, and is rude about it, think twice about the kind of care and support you will receive should you choose him as your surgeon.

I went to Dr. Ferzli for a consult to have my gall bladder removed. I found him on this site healhgrades and was impressed with his reviews. Well, after visiting I have to wonder if the reviews are authentic. The office is straight out of the 1980's. The Dr. was HORRIBLE I don't think he could even hear what I was asking. He disregarded nearly all of my questions, was not kind, and I did NOT feel comfortable with him operating on me, so I went and found another surgeon.

I would highly recommend dr. Ferzli -I had a successful gallbladder surgery removed laparoscopically. Dr. Ferzli was the best. He is very personable and always available to answer your questions and concerns. There were no surprises and he explained everything before and after surgery.

Dr. Ferzli is a humble man. His office is decorated in a great amount of certifications and degrees, but don’t let that fool you. He is a nice guy. The women who work in his office are a bit to be desired but, who cares? Im not there for them. I’m on this journey for my health and family.

I had gallbladder removal surgery not two weeks postpartum - needless to say I was an emotional wreck between my baby just coming out of the NICU and having to deal with this surgery looming over me. Dr. Ferzli and his team were amazing! Supportive, kind and understanding. The surgery took 36 mins and the recovery time was minimal- I was up and walking the next day! Thank you to this doctor who made this horrible process simple and easy. He gave me his personal cellphone- above and beyond!

Went to dr ferzli a little over 2 years ago with pain in my side.After a cat scan he said I had very small polyps in my gallbladder and it had to come out.After recovery I was bleeding out of 2 incisions and wound up in emergency room for 10 hours. 2 years later I still have the pain in my side.After multiple testing I found out my gallbladder should have never come out that I have IBS. So now I have pain and have a problem digesting food. Dr ferzli your lucky your out of malpractice guidelines

I can't say enough about Dr. Ferzli and his staff. He was referred by Dr Aboujaoude (another excellent dr.) for my gallbladder. The consult was great from his office staff, nurse and Dr. Ferzli himself. A week prior to my scheduled surgery I was admitted to the hospital for 3 days for a gallbladder attack. Dr. Ferzli was in constant contact with me. He visited me in the hospital and answered whenever I called him. It's been a week since my surgery and I couldn't feel better. TY Dr. Ferzli
