I went to him for another opinion after an MRI and he told me everything plus he gave me more information and explained it to me.

very satisfied

January 14, 2020

Dr. Sferra is very dismissive of my concerns, despite having a lot of complications post-surgery, which he performed. He told me the surgery was routine and did not state any of the possible risks or complications, and it has been up to me to ask questions to get information, which shouldnt be the case. Dr. Sferra rushes through the appointments, giving you 10 minutes at best. In fact, at the last appointment, he walked out of the room while I was still trying to ask questions. His bedside manner is subpar at best, and I do not recommend him to anyone who wants a doctor who they want to feel comfortable with, as it seems that patients are just numbers to him.
