Verified Patient Reviews

4 out of 5 stars

The provider is very skilled in her field but was very rushed and appeared stressed and frustrated with my questions. Perhaps related to running so far behind, but this was not my problem. I waited one hour and only see her 1 x per year. My concerns and seriousness of my heart issue may be very minor compared to other patients but we all should be treated with a calm approach as well as respect.

Dr Melissa Ferraro-borgida was great. Without asking, she anticipated the effect the change in weather will have on me and adjusted my medication. She was so right! I feel so much better. I'm very happy with her attentiveness and concern for my wellbeing.

Dr. Ferraro was awesome. She took her time to listen to my concerns and recommended what diagnosis to follow up. She was thorough, friendly and truly cares for her patients. I have had another Cardiologist a couple of years ago who wasn't even willing to order the simplest diagnosis to find what's wrong with my heart. What a day and night difference. I recommend Dr. Ferraro to everyone.
