Patient Comments (5)

-Tina Cole in Wilmington, DE | Apr 03, 2017

I have been a patient of his since he went into practice. He and his staff have caught not once but twice a major illness and saved my life. All the staff are friendly and helpful. I read one comment that you can never see Dr Fierro and you are pushed to a NP. I can say i have been to all the NP's and they are great and treat you as he would. Dr Fierro and his staff go the extra mile to help the patients and their families. NUMBER ONE DOC IN DELAWARE

-John Alloway in Wilmington, DE | Dec 10, 2016

Efficient, knowledgeable, clean, and professional. Dr. Fierro, his nurse practitioners and staff. They provide the best care and service of any doctors office I have ever been to!!!! You are not going to find better!

-Sherak Sayadian in Claymont, DE | Nov 15, 2016

Best family doctor ever. Himself and his stafff will make all the effort to see you the same day or the day after if you need an appointment.

-Mollymae in Claymont, DE | Nov 11, 2016

Never get to see the doctor. Was misdiagnosed three times. Was prescribed a medication that needed pre authorization and was told they wouldn't fill out the insurance forms because it was too much work. I should look up the medication on "Good RX" and see where I could get the medication the cheapest. Why should I pay four times more when insurance would cover it if they would just fill out the form which would be good for a year? Going elsewhere.

-BlueHen in Wilmington, DE | Aug 09, 2016

I've been a patient with Dr Fierro over 15 years. He is thorough but refers to specialist as needed. His office has grown from a wonderful receptionist and skilled nurse to several NP's and full office staff ready to assist for same day sick appointments. He runs a great office, happy too that it's closeby.

What is medical malpractice
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is issued when negligence by a doctor causes injury to a patient. For example, a doctor may improperly diagnose, treat or medicate outside the standard of medical care. The three types of malpractice are: a settlement, an arbitration award, or a judgment.
If my doctor has malpractice history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact the quality of care you receive. Claim settlements and arbitration awards may occur for a variety of reasons, which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the doctor's professional competence or conduct.
You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the doctor about his or her history and specific ability to provide healthcare for you.
How far back does Healthgrades malpractice history go?
Healthgrades reports details of a doctor’s malpractice history when the doctor has at least one closed medical malpractice claim within the last five years, even if he or she no longer practices in that state.
For which states does Healthgrades collect malpractice history?
Healthgrades collects malpractice information from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact your quality of care. Sometimes multiple states report the same claim. If a provider practices in a state where data is unavailable, please reach out to your local state legislature to help make this data publicly available.
0
Sanctions
No sanctions history found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What is a sanction or disciplinary action
What is a sanction or disciplinary action?
A sanction, also known as a disciplinary action, is an action taken to punish or restrict a doctor who has demonstrated professional misconduct. Sanctions may be imposed by a state medical board, professional medical licensing organization, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
If my doctor has sanction history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor-quality doctor. Some sanctions are not related to medical care, and involve a doctor’s finances or administrative activities. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, we recommend that you evaluate the doctor’s sanction information and determine how severe or relevant you think the sanction cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades sanction history go?
Healthgrades reports state and federal sanctions from the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect sanction history?
Healthgrades collects sanction history from all 50 U.S. states. Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state may move to another state where they have a clean record. Since Healthgrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, Healthgrades website will show if a physician has a disciplinary action in more than one state.
0
Board Actions
No board actions found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What are board actions
What are board actions?
Board actions are non-disciplinary actions imposed upon a doctor based on a complaint investigation. A patient or medical colleague may file a complaint with that state medical board or professional licensing organization, which then investigates the complaint. Board actions are intended to ensure that a doctor is able to perform safe medical and health care tasks.
Types of non-disciplinary actions include an advisory letter, a corrective action agreement, a limitation or restriction on the medical or healthcare tasks a doctor can perform, or a voluntary agreement by the doctor not to practice. A board action can also include a termination of a corrective action agreement or voluntary agreement, which allows the doctor to return to full practice.
If my doctor has a board action, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a board action, it means he or she has had a non-disciplinary action imposed upon him or her. It does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor quality doctor. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, evaluate the doctor's board action information and determine how severe or relevant you think the cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades non-disciplinary board action history go?
Healthgrades reports non-disciplinary board action history from for the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect non-disciplinary board actions?
Healthgrades collects non-disciplinary board actions from all 50 U.S. states.
