He is the best doctor I know. Amazingly smart and goes out of his way to keep up on all my health issues. Heart Failure finds the right answers, Kidney Failure no worries and knows how to watch it and manage the correct meds, an Empyema he explains it and manages my meds after surgery.

He is a very pleasant dr. to talk to. He listens very well to any concerns I may have and explains everything to me. I’m very happy I chose him as my dr. Even my husband decided to go to him now after meeting and speaking to him.

Good doctors with good bedside manners are hard to find. I moved to Orland Park in 1988 and worked at a hospital in Hammond Indiana for 47 years and then retired. My doctor was in Munster Indiana. I wanted new doctor in Orland Park area. I was lucky to find him. He is a valued asset to Northwestern Hospital.

In my first meeting with Dr. Ferrel, I found him very understanding of my condition, he clearly answered all of questions, and I never felt hurried during my visit. We had a very good exchange and discussion.

He is smart. I have so many health issues but he is great at prioritizing which comes first. It is like when I learned the ABCs of EMS. Airway, Breathing and Circulation. He makes sure the lungs are still functioning (empyema and hemoptysis) than we cover the heart failure and CKD. Great communicator and makes the time to listen.
