Pasadena Podiatry Group

This guy is your typical: «Just put ice on it and take some advil…» Or «I can inject it with steroids if that doesn’t work.» Not interested in the cause of the issue, only interested in how he can make your discomfort level on the silly pain meter go down. Oh, and god forbid you want to discuss that x-​ray from a few months back. You’ll have to plunk down some more money and go visit again. In other words: he cares about you, not… unless you’ve got money to burn.
Also, his orthotic inserts (which are more expensive than those bought elsewhere online) are poorly made and sub-​par.
Stay many many, er, feet, away from this office if you care about them.

The staff and doctor are both very kind and helpful. Dr. Ferrante was very patient and spent plenty of time with me, examining, explaining, treating. I didn’t feel rushed at all which is a nice switch from some of my other docs! I was desperate and they gave me a same day appt which was really great. Parking is in the pricey lot for this medical building, so I always try to park on no e of the local streets.

Wonderfully knowledgable staff and doctor. I felt comforted and informed while Dr. Fee ranted was performing my ingrown nail extraction. He let me know there were a few possibilities and what all of that meant. I really felt like he cared and was worried about my pain and discomfort. I would highly recommend him to anyone with toe/​foot issues!

Dr Ferrante is Heaven sent!!! I went to him as a new patient a couple of days ago to get treated for an extremely painful case of plantar fasciitis. Dr. Ferrante and his staff were very friendly and knowledgable. He took time to explain my condition and treatment options. I was not too thrilled about having an injection in my heel but with his personality, I couldn’t refuse. Let me just say, I didn’t walk out like I walked in. The parking is $ 6.00 and they only accept cash.

I have had an ankle problem for years and my husband has had foot problems for decades so I did some research (not just Unilocal) and found Dr. Ferrante’s office. After quite a few appointments and two different surgeries (one for each of us), we are now both pain free and able to start exercising again and we owe it all to him and his great group of women who run the office. I have come when it is super busy and fortunately, have not had the experience of the previous Unilocaler. They have checked in on me and rescheduled me without any complaints when I had conflicts. The doctor is always very amiable (even when I am late) and takes the time to ask questions and explain things in a way that this layperson can understand. I even had a problem with a bill from the anesthiologist’s office and Dr. Ferrante’s girls handled it for me which helped my stress level immensely. I just cannot say enough about their professionalism and friendly demeanor — I would never go anywhere else for my foot and ankle needs.
P. S. yes, the parking sucks so I always park on Colorado because there are usually spaces that are 1 hour free.

I have been to Dr. Ferrante’s office once before and had a decent experience. But today I had a very bad experience with his office! I was checked in quickly and taken to an exam room where I waited for 45 minutes without anyone ever coming in to give me an update as to why the wait was so long. It wasn’t like it was busy at all. I brought this up to the girl at the front desk, who said that she was filling in for the office manager, and was told I had to wait longer. I got an unacceptable response so I got my co– pay refunded and left. I still need to see a dr. for an infected toenail but it will be a different dr!!! I missed work for nothing!!! Also I looked at my insurance for my prior visit and Dr. Ferrante billed my insurance $ 185 for cutting a little part of my toenail off. Ridiculous!

The doctor is friendly and informal. He answers all your questions, and is very concerned about if you are feeling pain. Also, you don’t usually wait longer than 10 min in the waiting room, and once you’re moved to the exam room he’s there within a few minutes.
NOTE: Parking on the lot is expensive if you don’t get a prescription. Parking on the street is hit or miss.
