Carlos Ferrari
"UPDATE OCT 2005 I Had Great West Healthcare Insurance. Dr Ferrari participates in the One Health Plan Provider Discount. Dr Ferrari billed my insurance $8,000 for the surgery. The one health provider discount paid $1,809. to Doctor Ferrari and clearly states on my insurance copy that Member is not Liable for the rest. My surgery was in Feb 04. I was never billed from Dr Ferrari until Oct 2005. Twenty Months Later!! They billed me for the $6,209.50 that was discounted by One Health Provider. Luckily I had my copy of my insurance bill that clearly states Member is not liable. I faxed it to them and they took it off my bill. So warning to all of you keep all your records. Everything! I met with Dr Ferrari on Nov 12, 03. My appointment was for Nov. 21,03 but they had a cancellation so I got in sooner. I really like his staff, They made me feel at ease immediately. Dr Ferrari is very nice. He sat down and answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable talking to him and confident of his skills as a surgeon. He told me that I have to quit smoking and that he will do a nicotine test on me and If I don't pass he will not do the surgery. The reason for this is the risk is to high for smokers. He did not mention any aftercare program except to talk to a nutrionist. I would recommend patients have a list of questions to ask and not be intimidated. I would rate Dr Ferrari an 8 for bedside manner on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best and a 10 for surgical competence. I have to say that Dr Ferrari went out of his way to meet me at Cypress Fairbanks Hospital when I went into Emergency. He is kind and caring and very concerned. His staff called me a lot after I was released to check on me. I have never had a Doctors office call me so much at home concerned about me. His Nurse Blanca is a doll and I definately made the right choice in Surgeons."
