I cannot be any happier with Dr Ferraro. She spends a great deal of time with me, and I don't feel like she is rushing off. She listens to my concerns and explains what her thoughts are and what our next steps will be. She personally follows up with me through the portal and seems to truly care about my health concerns.

Dr Ferraro was an excellent doctor and did a wonderful job with my surgery - from initial consultation to this appointment where she showed us how well the vocal cords were working after the surgery in December 2025. I am thrilled that it was such a success and I would recommend Dr Ferraro to everyone.

I thought the doctors, though they may have disagreed with the suggested surgery/injection suggestion as a next step did a great job at being professional in front of me. They clearly have a collegial relationship that allowed me to feel comforted that they have support in each other should they face something they aren't sure about
