Very nice and informative
Calm professional who pits your mind to rest
Dr. Farrone is the best. As always.
The doctor needs to spend a little more time to answer questions!
Dr. Ferrone takes each appointment as an opportunity to make you feel at ease with whatever your treatment is. He explains everything so that my 11 year old, who is his patient, walks out knowing what's going on.
Very knowledge, professional, kind!
This is the BEST eye doctor!
As busy as he is. He always takes time with you to explain to How you are progressing. Always pleasant and kind. I am so glad that I have him as a doctor!
Dr. Ferrone is the best and his staff always are efficient and friendly. Great experience from this office.
Give him a 4.5 rating. He falls short only because of the brief time he actually spends with you.
