Dr. Ferkel and his staff cares about his patients. He takes his time to understand the patient’s care and needs. He is a top notch surgeon and person. He has 2 very convenient locations that I can choose from. He is very easy to speak to and he listens intently.

Dr Eric Ferkel is friendly & a nice guy. He seems very genuinely concerned about his patients and is quick to explain procedures & aftercare. He is also very open to questions&concerns so go in prepared with questions, concerns, & thoughts written down and ask away. He is happy to answer anything. He is a busy man, but will always make sure you feel better in the end. I felt cared for & taken care of. His staff in his cast room is also so friendly&amazing! The Healthloop app is great too!Use it!

I am a Hard School judge of performance in all professions. Rarely do you find a stand-out physician in the medical profession such as Dr. Ferkel. From his vocational documentation and experience to his personable demeanor he is a first among equals.
His depth and breadth of knowledge in many fields provides the patient with a broad cross-spectrum decision making resource.
For patients seeking a primary or secondary opinion Dr. Ferkel in highly recommended.
Due to this anticipate a wait. I’m

Difficulty scheduling the surgery initially, but might have been a problem with insurance. Post-op experience was amazing. Great communication all around. His staff is beyond friendly. Operation went perfectly. Only reason the wait is a bit longer at appointments is because Ferkel stays with his patients until every one of their questions is answered.

He worked me into his schedule when other surgeons were telling me they couldn't even talk to me for 2 to 8 weeks, dispite the fact it was an emergency.

Dr. Ferkel took care of me after identifying that I had ruptured my Achilles. He and the SCOI staff were fantastic. Cannot day enough good things about his bedside manner and my experience before, during and after surgery. Got me into surgery immediately and post surgery his team was always great with casts, scheduling, etc. Never felt rushed when I was with him. It is healing incredibly well! Thanks Dr. Ferkel!

Dr. Ferkel is by far the most knowledgeable and congenial doctor I have ever met. He engages you in a conversation, rather than talking down to you, as some doctors tend to do. He knows his stuff. He gives you options. He genuinely cares about his patients.
If you or anyone in your family is in need of "Orthopedic Surgery," your search should end here.

Dr Ferkel was super helpful and informative, gave great advice, and did excellent work on my foot. I was particularly impressed at the attention with which he followed my progress post-surgery. My only criticism is that wait times were often long at SCOI Van Nuys.

Dr. Ferkel he’s an excellent doctor. The staff of his office in Porter Ranch and Van Nuys are amazing. I had surgery on my ankle and believe it or not it feels like I never had any type of surgery because of the fact that if feels great. His staff his secretary are amazing with the appointments and they take well care of all the patients. So thank you to all and keep up the work. You’re all doing an amazing job.
