Patient Reviews
The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Ferkel.
“Dr. Ferkel is an experienced orthopedic surgeon. My personal time with him was spent due to a bicycle injury. He was very thorough in his examination of my knee and foot. Ordering x-rays and then an MRI. Once the MRI came back, he knew the issue. Torn meniscus. He went over the options pros and cons of all. I chose physical therapy. Time will tell. If my knee issue changes, I know Dr. Ferkel would be the surgeon I would contact.”

“I have been an Orthopedic Surgeon for 28 years and practice in Central California. My high school football player son developed bilateral foot stress fractures I sought out for his care, Dr. Richard Ferkel. His expertise in the field of foot and ankle injuries well known in the Orthopedic community. His care and personal attention, both preop and postop, have been exceptional. My son is making an excellent recovery and will hopefully return to his prior level of competition.”
