Dr. Sferra was great with me!

June 29, 2021

Dr. Sferra mentioned a pretty serious surgery option for me and didn't talk about risks or ask me about concerns. I didn't even have the X-rays explained to me. I have no idea if my condition is worse or not than two years ago. He frustrated me and I felt like he didn't care.

June 09, 2021

Dr. Sferra did not take the time nor seem interested in hearing about the reason I was in his office. Rather, he seemed to have a preconceived notion of what the problem was and wanted to get to that point as quickly as possible and move on. There was no real discussion of my X-rays, my history with my injury, or what my goals were in terms of making a full recovery. I frankly felt like I wasted my time traveling to the appointment and taking time out of my work day.

It was a good experience.

Doctor Sferra is so helpful and smart and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs a surgeon.

Dr Sferra sat down talked to me whenever my x-rays explained everything to me made me feel at ease
