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.

Awful
Terrible surgeon did a horrible job on my hernia repair which failed immediately. Also fails to mention that his colleagues offer laproscopic procedures. Stay away!

Wonderful experience
Visited Dr. Ferzoco for minor surgery in September. Whole experience was pleasant and professional. The doctor followed up with a phone call to deliver results and discuss next steps. Office staff and nurse were very warm and friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend !

Dr. Ferzoco is an amazing and caring doctor. He was attentive and showed great concern for my situation. He was able to clean up what another provider caused with great confidence and certainity. He addressed my concerns effectively and made me feel comfortable with the procedures.

Had hernia repair at the Brigham and Women's Hosp back in 2005. Dr. Ferzoco did a top notch job. Excellent surgeon, good bedside manner. Nothing but a positive surgery and result

Very disappointed with my experience with Dr. Ferzoco. He rushed my procedure and had no regard for how the scar would look after. He put far too few stitches, did not bother to stitch my skin flat and even left a huge fold of skin at the end of the incision. I had to go to a plastic surgeon to have this butcher job fixed. He did not warn me about how much pain I would be in post operation and sent me home shaking and in shock because of the procedure he did. Definitely don’t recommend this dr.

I traveled from New York where we have many good surgeons to see him for a hernia repair that has given me a lot of pain as I was referred to him by someone I trust. He explained that it was a common complication of inguinal hernias with mesh and that he could not assure me that he could completely resolve but he should be able to provide some relief.He explained the challenges with but also explained the potential problems if he didn't use it. He removed the old mesh and replaced it - pain free
