I've called 4 times, over the past month, get the prompt that I'm caller 6,4,1,7 and to wait, only…read moreto get connected to leave a message!! Every time!! Left a voicemail and no reply back after 4 days, when the message said within 24 hours, usually. Very sad. Apparently they don't care about patients. I'd rate a zero if I could!

I have had many painful injuries in my hands and my wrists... I have not been able to get surgery…read morefor many reasons, for one, I dont even know if non perfect people could even fix my hands and wrists or whether it would be worse ... I was referred to shasta orthopedics & they would not let me even be seen or even have a consultation unless I filled out their huge very invasive extensive paperwork ..I told them I cannot write so much with all of my injuries, but they dont care ..because it is all about them ...they were rude and bossy and so unconcerned about my pain and condition and did not offer to help fill out the paperwork at all ...also I tried to contact a doctor on the weekend, and no one was available ,,the recording said press # 1 to speak to a doctor but that number never rang ..so I can see that I would not get any follow up care & their after hours doctors are non-existent plus these doctors are getting so bold and demanding, they expect us to give them a synopsis of our entire life, asking us very inappropriate invasive questions that have nothing to do with why i went to them in the first place .. I am so sick of the way the medical industry is these days ...they have traded the Highly revered Hippocratic Oath for a selfish hypocritical oath of greed and power taking care of themselves , padding their own already thick wallets & they truly do not care about us at all...then they were sending me more mail when I told them i had no interest in playing their selfish uncaring inconsiderate games ..I would not recommend this place to anyone , & the other reviews i have read are the same ,,, so Shame on you ! I hope your poor excuse for a caring company crumbles & that all people see how horrible you really are

I received a partial hip replacement several years ago from Dr. Ferraro. He ordered no pt for me…read moreso I had to heal all on my own. it was five years of complete and total misery and I can't walk to this day. Dr. Ferraro is a hand specialist and had no business performing a partial hip replacement on me. None whatsoever. This doctor butchered my hip! it has never felt right. To this day I'm in pain from my hip. Thanks for nothing you incompetent idiot!

I was a patient many many years ago at Shasta Orthopaedics, and had the worst care anyone could ask…read morefor. First of all, I was in his office for a broken arm, and the word Carpal Tunnel was never mentioned in the appointment I had to go over my surgery with both Dr. Ferraro & Dr. Schillen, but Dr. Ferraro thought I said my hand hurt, so he dictated 20 minutes later, that I needed Carpel Tunnel Surgery, of which he slipped in while doing my other surgery. He refunded my insurance company, but refused to tell them why!!! Dr. Ferraro must have a long conveyor belt and thinks all of his patients need Carpel Tunnel Surgery. Or maybe that is all he knows how to do. Dr. Ferraro's ability to figure out what may be wrong with his patients is impossible. It took at least 9 months of PT, casts up to my armpit for 4 months, a bone stimulator for 70 days, surgery on my other arm, due to over use because my other arm was in a cast for so long. I had to go to San Francisco to find out that when my arm was broken, my Ulna was shoved up into my wrist. And because Dr. Ferraro's office had me use a bone stimulator for 70 days, my bone filled in, so basically the Ulna in my wrist was too long, and there was no way I could bend my wrist over. Am I the first person that has ever had a broken arm that did this? The "Hand Specialist" as he is known as in Redding, never even figured that out. It took my new Dr. in San Francisco 10 minutes of looking at Dr. Ferraro's x-rays to know what was wrong. I had to have my Ulna shortened, which meant sawing my Ulna and my nerve in half, putting in a plate with 7 screws, to hold my bone in place that was pulled out of my wrist. Quite an ordeal, but the care I was given in San Francisco was above board, and they knew what they were doing. Dr. Ferraro caused me years and years of problems, and I would never step foot in that office again!!!!! And now, his office has done it again!!!! I have a friend that is really messed up and he has not been the Dr. he should be, and it's obvious, he should be doing something else, or maybe just stick to Carpal Tunnel Surgery. Not to mention his inefficient MA. What a joke! I can't believe that almost 20 years after my ordeal with Dr. Ferraro, that he's still unable to diagnose anything different or out of the ordinary. And you'd think that maybe 'HE' would want to consult with another Orthopaedic Dr. Wow, what a concept! He is so arrogant that he probably thinks he knows it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
