For some reason Dr Ferrer popped into my head today. And then I suddenly remembered that he was probably gone. And I went in search of him, hoping that perhaps by some miracle he had beaten the cancer. And then I found his obituary. I'm sorry this condolence is so late.Dr. Ferrer was one of a kind. He was thoughtful, caring and most of all a great doctor. He always took time to explain what was going to be happening and we loved his sense of humor. I always wished he could've been my primary physician... instead of just my urologist. Before my husband was transferred to the Midwest in 2014 we had an appointment with Dr. Ferrer and he told us about his illness. I literally burst into tears. I couldn't believe such a wonderful human being was being taken from not only us but of course his family. I'll never forget he said "I can't be too sad about dying, I've had a great life." He once again showed us what an exceptional man he was. Even with such a grave illness he accepted it with grace and humor. Our very late condolences to his wife and extended family. He was a very exceptional human being. We need more men/doctors like him in this world.

I was recently told of Dr. Farrers Passing and was shocked and saddened.
I worked for him when he first came to Memorial Clinic in Urology (front desk/patient placement). He was so funny and 'normal' as a person. Compassion was his middle name. I am sure he will be truly missed.
My late Condolences to his family.
