Patient Comments
April 08, 2019
I only have the highest regards for Dr Sferra and his staff. I feel very unfortunate to have him as my physician.
March 07, 2019
I've been to Dr Sferrra 3x's before. Not sure if he was having a bad day was but rude and incorrect with his information he was telling me about my condition.
February 09, 2019
A great doctor [...]
January 30, 2019
I haven't had enough experience with this provider to determine whether or not I would recommend him to others.
January 29, 2019
Dr. exceeds his reputation, he is excellent in his specialty!
December 10, 2018
He spent less than five minutes with me and had half his body out the door with his back turned to me for most of it. Said he would follow up after I sent a concerned message regarding my appointment and lack of plan of care and never did.
November 20, 2018
Dr. Sfarra...first time I met him and I felt very comfortable and trusting of him.
October 30, 2018
Dr. could have explained procedure a little before nurse comes in. [...]
October 17, 2018
[...] Dr Sferra was kind and gentle - he explained things to me and offered his advice. [...]
October 16, 2018
Dr Sferra is a very good doctor he spends time with you and you feel confident when you leave.
September 21, 2018
Liked doctor [...]
September 06, 2018
Very friendly but straight to the point.
September 02, 2018
Unsure of the type of surgery necessary for my foot. The explanation of the surgery and the after care plan for recovery after the surgery were not explained at all.
August 22, 2018
[...] Dr. Sferra spent a total of no more than 5 minutes with me for both visits - combined. [...] Dr. Sferra entered my exam room and spent no more than 2 minutes and told me that I likely had Neuropathy. [...] Dr. Sferra expressed no interest in my condition, in me as his patient and/or a referral patient from Dr. [...]. He was delayed in coming in to see me for both visits (& while I understand the nature of the daily pace Physicians keep and how common it is to 'run behind'), he offered no apology and spent very little time with me. Adding insult to injury, I received no follow-up from Dr. Sferra's office to communicate the results of my tests[...] When I was entering the exam room, he was not seeing any patients and was engaged in social chat with one of his staff at the desk next to the exam room. I asked the P.A. if Dr. Sferra would be seeing me, and she responded: "would you like to see Dr. Sferra ?" Without showing any sign of disrespect for the P.A., I responded with an emphatic Yes. She went to retrieve him and he came right in, which again tells me that he was not busy with another patient, just that he had not intended to see me. He spent approximately 2 minutes (or less) with me and again showed no concern and no interest in my condition and offered me no treatment options or even what I might do to manage my condition for minimal impact on my lifestyle of exercise and activity. [...] I have never been treated with such disinterest and disregard by a healthcare professional...ever. Dr. Sferra ended the visit by providing me with a Referral to a Neurologist. Dr. Sferra may indeed be a highly skilled Surgeon and overall Foot & Ankle Specialist. Perhaps I did not fit the patient profile that better suits his skills and interest...or perhaps I don't have the professional celebrity of some of his patients. He was not hesitant in bragging about 'his Ohio State Buckeyes'...a topic I have no interest in. I have lived in Pittsburgh my entire life and I came to him for a serious, chronic condition that I had no answers for. I left his office after two (2) visits - if you want to call them that, and I am no more knowledgeable about my condition and/or the potential for treatment than I was when I walked in. [...] I will not be returning to Dr. Sferra at any time in the future and I would never make a recommendation to a family member or friend to see him. [...]
August 22, 2018
Time with provider quick but he was thorough about condition & upcoming procedure. He DID NOT explain treatment in _____.
August 20, 2018
This provider came very highly recommended,yet I spent most of the time with the P.A.Then the Doctor came in for 5 minutes.
August 14, 2018
dr great, [...]
August 03, 2018
Dr Sfarra has a passion for people and a determination to make a difference in their lives. He always has a smile on his face and is extremely focused on the individual. [...]
July 25, 2018
Dr Sferra was very professional and had a great bedside manner. I felt like I was talking with a friend and not with a doctor. So he really put me at ease and explained everything I needed to know about my issue.
July 23, 2018
[...] he himself did not speak to me, but spoke to his fellow. They discussed me as though I was not sitting there right in the room and did not involve me in the conversation about my own care.
July 10, 2018
Dr. Sferra is one of the most competent and courteous physicians I have had
July 07, 2018
The doctor talked with the PA about what was wrong with my feet, but used terms I didn't understand and he didn't address any of these comments to me. I did get the doctor's notes after requesting them, but I have to look up some of the terms to see if I can understand what he was talking about
June 26, 2018
he cares nothing about the patient and suffering
