Patient review summary

3.00

The patient had a profoundly negative experience with Dr. Ferencz, describing him as an arrogant and incompetent doctor with poor bedside manner. The review details a misdiagnosis that led to unnecessary and potentially lifelong medication, which caused significant distress to the patient and their family. The patient recounts being told they "have a hole in [their] brain" without proper explanation, leaving them terrified until a second opinion from another neurologist revealed a much less severe condition. This second neurologist confirmed that Dr. Ferencz's diagnosis was incorrect and that medication was not needed. The patient strongly advises others to avoid Dr. Ferencz, citing both his medical errors and his unpleasant demeanor.
