I was completely satisfied

I have been health conscious for years but about 6 years ago, I began to have some health issues that were out of my control that reguired several surgeries and I was recovering well. My husband and I like to travel. In 2013, I needed my doctor to change my blood pressure medication dosage while I was out of town. It took 4 days for the staff to finally accomplish that task. We were in our summer residence, and the change was not sufficient. I felt the need to find someone who could help me sooner rather than later and I knew that a hospital emergency room was not the answer. I chose to call Dr Ferrara and decided that he was the doctor for me. I was completely satisfied. He was able to change my medication and I am doing well. Having high blood pressure caused me to fear traveling away from my home. I can travel now knowing that I can communicate with his staff or him, if necessary, and that he will be able to act in a reasonable amount of time and or find me help wherever I am. I now have a doctor who knows my history, and is able to respond to my healthcare needs. Interestingly, I have been healthier in the last two years than I had been over the previous 4 years.
Dr. Ferrara has also referred me to a specialist to clear up a misdiagnosis from a previous health issue, which has also relieved me to know that I do not have the chronic health issue with which I had been diagnosed. I felt that the diagnosis was incorrect, but I needed validation by a true specialist. With Dr. Ferrara's help, I was able to connect easily with the proper specialist.
Dr. Ferrara is able to get to know a little about me and my family situation which I believe helps. Sometimes doctors think patients should just stop working or doing the tasks that they do. Well, not all patients have the luxury of taking it easy when they are caregivers for other ill family members. This is something that he can take the time to understand and most doctors do not have the time to listen.
I just do not worry anymore about being tied to one place just so I can be close to my doctor, or that my doctor will not get my message or respond for days. I am very grateful to be able to keep on moving and to see my chidren and grandchildren and family.
