I just received my medical records from a surgery that Dr. Ferrero performed on me when I was a baby that saved my life. I hope he's resting in peace. Thanks for everything you've done for me and the rest of your patients

If it would not of been for Dr. Ferrero talant and courage that God gave him to take a chance with my heart condition I would not be here. I followed him from hospital to hospital. (Miami, Orlando, LakeCity)...

To the Ferrero family,
Although I only met Dr. Ferrero twice I wanted to offer our deepest
sympathy to the family and my respect for Dr. Ferrero. I gave him my trust and my only son. We butted heads a bit but Dr. Ferrero gave me
back my perfect child, whole and cancer free. He was in good hands. I
will be forever grateful for his skill and kindness. Dr. Ferrero is in good hands now.
