Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2019
Dr. Ferris was able to do what 3 endocrinology clinics associated with Central Virginia's medical monopolies could not do. I searched 2 years for treatment for diabetic resistance. The only medications offered by the monopolies were the ineffective ones advertised on television. 2 of them made me extremely ill. Dr. Ferris, on her first attempt, brought my blood glucose down to a safe level. I have been enjoying normal levels for almost a year. Thank you Dr. Ferris!
