1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderVery rude, he needs to listen to his patients, and not down play everything they tell him or refer their symptoms to his wife’s Symptoms. I was in tears in that office today.

5.0 star star star star starDr.Ferrel doesn’t rush through the exam he listens to what I say answering all questions and brings me up to date on all tests that I am due for so that I can have them done. I am very satisfied with Dr. Ferrel as my primary doctor. He also explains the test results to me.

Disclosures

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
