We had a wonderful experience. Dr Ferrer was great with our kid and made him feel really at ease by talking to him at his level.
Everyone in the office was really lovely. Dr Ferrer was kind and personable. He took his time and did not rush us at all. It was a really positive experience!

Dr Ferrer was unbelievably thorough. Great bedside manner and extremely informative. He took a lot of time with my son. I strongly recommend him!!
Verified patient
Overall excellent experience. Only critique is that I wish I didn’t have to tell everything first to the NP and then to the physician. The NP was a lovely person but I came for a medical consultation.
El doctor Ferrer es un excelente profesional! Fue la primera vez que mi hijo adolescente se atendía con el doctor, y desde el primer instante lo hizo sentir muy cómodo y nos aclaró todas las dudas de la manera más clara y profesional. El hecho de que el doctor Ferrer pueda comunicarse en español de manera impecable es muy importante para mi y mi hijo.??

Excellent and very knowledgeable doctor and staff! Nurse Practitioner Sarah was outstanding! They went above and beyond to help my son. The only advice I would give to whoever is planning on taking their kids to this office is to make sure they double check the address and directions beforehand. I used Google maps to plan my trip to the city, put the right address on the app and made all the arrangements it involved but Google maps took me to the wrong side of the street.. 3 or 4 blocks away - 10 min walk with the baby. Make sure you go to the building between Madison and 5th Avenue.

Amazing Doctor and surgeon highly recommended !
Verified patient
The doctor was informative and straight forward. However I haven't received a phone call back to schedule a procedure. It's been 10 days.
Excellent! To say the least. My son is 10 months old and we were told to follow up with pediatric urologist. If you're told this make sure to go to De.Ferrer. I feel completely comfortable letting him operate on my son. He addressed all of our concerns and I never felt rushed. Great job Zoc Doc!
