"Pretty much every bad review on any of the medical sites is true for us wrapped up in one story. The experience at Dr. Sferra's establishment is like a dive bar experience and would also give zero stars if possible. My husband had foot surgery in December of 2021 and is worse than he was prior to the surgery. Dr. Sferra basically fused his whole foot into a block and said we can only wait to see what happens. He could not answer our questions, did not lay out a plan only said he will give it a shot, never shared x-rays even when we asked, and ignored a brewing infection for months, even though we went back several times in the months following the initial surgery to have the possibility of this infection looked at- he said everything was normal... the carelessness led to the hardware having to be removed, severe blood infection, 7days in AGH and home with 42 day double PICC line for the infection that landed in his heart. All for him to say " sorry that this happened to you". The ...
bones, needless to say, did not fuse and the pain is back worse than ever. Dr. Sferra is not truthful and there are so many other instances that occurred during our treatment with Dr. Sferra that make us cringe to this day. Please take this review and all of the others as true and re-consider before this butcher makes life way worse for you. "
