Dr. Ferris was the third provider from whom I sought help for a baffling, extremely painful leg condition. He LISTENED to my complaint, did a hands-on physical examination and x-rays to rule out the pain was being caused by a partial knee replacement he'd done on me about three years previous.
He admitted during the exam that I had him baffled and assured me he would research my issue. He started me on a course of steroid (prednisone) in case my issue was inflammatory in nature and scheduled a one-week follow-up.
The steroids worked perfectly in that time and I was relatively pain-free. That confirmed the issue was inflammatory. And, he'd done the research he promised. While it was outside of his specialty, and he'd never seen a patient with my exact issue during his many years of practice, he was able to come up with what I believe will be the correct diagnosis: saphenous neuritis.
I've been referred to a pain specialist and hope to have my issue completely resolved soon.
Thanks, Dr. Ferris for taking the time to LISTEN to me, HEAR what I was saying -- and HELP me!
