Testimonials

Dr. Ferrari thoroughly explained my injury and answered my questions. He promptly scheduled surgery to repair my injury. He is a very talented and experienced surgeon and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ferrari, first I want to thank you for performing surgery on my left shoulder and repairing the necessary items that created the major pain in my left shoulder.

I just want to thank Dr. Ferrari, his assistant Melinda and Advanced Orthopedic for the outstanding care and attention you gave me.

Dr. Ferrari has performed several surgeries on me, including two total shoulder replacements. He is excellent in every regard and has enabled me to return to relatively normal function in my shoulders. Thank you Dr. Ferrari!

Dr. Ferrari – There are certain times throughout your life when you have the opportunity to meet a truly gifted individual. Recently, I had arthroscopic surgery on my left knee. No matter how minor, surgery is surgery which comes with a level of anxiety. Hands down, Dr. Ferrari projected a feeling of calm and reassurance from the consultation appointment to post-op. Do yourself a favor, don’t shop around, spoil yourself, go for the best. Your tomorrow will be better for making the choice with Advanced Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Specialists.

Dear Dr. Ferrari, Thanks again for the incredible job you did on my broken shoulder. I’m back to my active life & just spent 3 days skiing deep powder in the trees at Steamboat Springs. My ski buddies are all amazed since they were with me when I broke it! They said that I haven’t slowed down a bit. I hope we don’t meet again in surgery, but, it’s good to know you are there if I need you!

Just wanted to give Dr. Ferrari an update on my shoulder, and also thank you again for doing such a great job with my rotator cuff surgery. Since the last time I saw you, everything continued to progress well, and I played 3 baseball games. I only played 1B and never made any stressful throws. Not that this is medically relevant, but I have to tell you that I hit a bases loaded triple in my first game back! Thanks again!
