This is my first time writing a review and it is due to Eric Ferkel's demeanor. He was giving condescending answers to questions. I cannot speak to his surgery skills, but I can vouch to say that his bedside manners were very poor in our interaction. He would answer basic questions like "how long will this take" with answers like "well everything takes time, just like this conversation so everything takes time." Not sure if he was having a bad day or was tired, but this is no excuse to treat your patients in that manner. Als... read more
Had a hip replacement done here (van nuys). It dislocated 5 times. Plus, on the day of surgery he wanted all his scheduled patients to check in at 7:00 am... My procedure started at 6:00PM which is bull shit. He was a young new grad with an attitude. I see he's not listed as a current physician there, he shouldn't be a physician anywhere.
Scheduling is complicated and the authorization department seems uneducated or maybe uninterested in assisting? I received minimal therapy following a tendon repair surgery due to these issues and ended up developing IT band syndrome down the road because of my lack of recovery. The therapist I saw was great, but I'm now at another practice trying to regain strength and ability in my legs due to their office staffs policies and practices. You are one of many here and they are interested in making money off many individuals v... read more
I have had to visit several Orthopedic Doctors in my past. Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys is theeee BEST place and theeeee BEST staff. I actually know someone that works at this office and she highly recommended me to visit them for a consultation on my ankle. I live closer to San Diego but it was worth the drive. Thank you Crystal Rafael for everything. You truly helped me so much and you are so caring. I’m so thankful you told me to see Dr. Ferkel. Everything you told me about him and the facility was... read more
I use to see Dr. Richard Ferkel who was amazing as well as his office team. SCOI Van Nuys has gone downhill. Poor patient care is their motto. Two stars because the PA Gary Notkin was ok, at least he was professional. That front desk girl is rude and seems annoyed to do her job. I arrived at my initial appointment 15 minutes early and it took 2 hours to get me into a room. I sat in that room for 30 minutes and was about to walk out, that is when Gary walked in and that is when he told me he has been running behind all day. ... read more
