Dr. Ferrari is AWESOME! My first impression of him was "approachable" and this has not changed since day 1. He was warm while also being to the point. We discussed my options and since day one his staff has been very proactive in getting my process going. Luly is sooooo friendly and I never feel bad going into his office. Dr. Ferrari did an EGD and Bravo test to see how bad my acide reflux was and he informed me that there was a chance I wouldnt be able to have the DS cause it could make my reflux worse. Well after all the testing and Abdominal series with that disgusting contrast, he notified me that I am ok to have the DS...I AM SOOOO excited! Thanks Dr. Ferrari for being the physician you are and I look forward to a long relationship with you and your great staff!
Dr. Ferrari is truly a life safer, before starting my research into the weight loss surgery I was very nervous about wanting to do something drastic to my body, so I decided after a couple of different Doctors seminars that I wanted to go with the lap-band procedure... Dr. Ferrari explained to me the difference in weight loss and which would benefit me the best. We decided that going with the RNY Gastric Bypass would benefit me the best with all my medical problems. Dr. Ferrari has a wonderful disposition about him, and a great beside manor (in which I had not found in the previous doctors I had visited)!
Dr. Ferrari was a little hard to understand at first, but that meant I could not just tune him out for talking to much (and with my attention span it was a good thing), which made me really pay attention and listen to him eagerly. It did make me nervous to begin with thinking we may have a communication barrier, but that was far from the case. His office staff (escpecially Lula) have been wonderful and very helpful. Any time I have had a question and/or concern they have been really happy to assist, really amazing team he has working for him... His knowledge of what works best for the patient is great as well, he seems to really know what he is talking about, which is really important. I would recommend him to anyone willing to make a commitment such as this, he is one remarkable man. If anyone is willing to take me on as a patient and work so well with me in my understanding then they are great in my book!!!
LOVE, love, love Dr. Ferrari. From the moment we met, I felt, "This is it!". I knew I finally found a Dr. I felt comfortable with and a true expert in the field. The process was super fast. In less than a month after my first appointment, I had the survey and it was a breeze. I'm into my first week after surgery and feel great. Left after only 2 days and have been doing really well. The after care team was as wonderful as can be. I have no regrets, only why didn't I go to him earlier! Dr. Ferrari is truly my angel and his entire office team is great.
I have been a patient of Dr. Ferrari's since the beginning of 2010. He performed my RNY surgery on June 17th, 2010 and I still go and see him every 6 months. He is an amazing doctor, great bedside manner, he actually cares about his patients, listens to them and is there for them through it all. I couldn't of picked a better doctor, so thankful he came into my life.
All I can say is Thank you Dr. Ferrari and Thank you Jesus. I am now 6 months out and I have lost 112 lbs I feel better than I ever have. I love Dr. Ferrari he gave me back my life....

I had to switch doctors because of some hospital issues with my first doctor. It was a blessing in disguise. I will give an honest and thorough review including all negative and positive aspects.
Positives: Dr. Ferrari was very warm and friendly and took the time to answer all questions I had. I did not feel rushed. I had to read and initial a very detailed explanation of my procedure - what was being done, what to expect, what was reasonable, etc. It was the most comprehensive information in one reading I had encountered during my journey and explained everything. I had the majority of my homework out of the way, so he did not have to explain too much on the risks, but we did discuss them.
He has an excellent reputation as a skilled surgeon (all of the hospital staff seemed to really like him) and has a great bedside manner - the best of both worlds - so I felt comfortable going into surgery knowing he was in charge.
His office staff is excellent. I never felt like I was bothering them, they were friendly and in my opinion went out of their way to make sure I was informed and comfortable with any doubts I had.
He, his staff, and the hospital ALL emphasized aftercare. I have been going to support groups since last summer getting my questions answered, so I know how important they are. I am switching over to the MHHS/Memorial City group and will start attending my new group next month. I can't wait.
Negatives: None. Okay, they say I am supposed to have some, but I don't. If I ever can think of any, I will update my review, but please don't hold your breath.
I am only sorry I didn't start out my whole journey with him, but this turned out to be a "better late than never" situation.
Dr Ferrari, is great!!! I have already lost 10 pounds since my surgery on June 3, 2010. He has great bedside manners. The hospital was excellent, everyone I came in contact with had a smile & were very careful!!!! I love memorial hermann Gessner Hospital!!! My family was pleased as well!!! Thanks Dr. Ferrari!!!!
Dr. Ferrari was great! He was professional answered all questions. I would gladly recommend him to anyone considering having WLS.The staff was great , the office very nice and clean. He wants to see you 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months and then a year. Overall he's a kind man who listens to your concerns in the office as well as in the hospital.
I loved him to death
It never did change not one bit
His office staff is great and very helpful.
Nothing at all.
He is an outstanding Dr.
A great deal.
Yes he does. Very structured
Was very up front about the risk of this surgery. What I would need to to make my surgery successful. And that the key thing in this procedure was Me, Myself and I that I couldn't just depend on the band it's self to do the work.
100%
Both where excellent. If I had to do it all over again I would go right back to Dr.Ferrari.
Dr. Ferrari is the GREATEST!!! I am very happy that I chose him to do my procedure. Dr. Ferrari has excellent beside manner and he is easy to talk to. He is very thorough in explaining the various WLS procedures and the risks involved, which allowed me to make the best decision for me. I highy recommend Dr. Ferrari.
