Manuel Ferreira Md's Online Review Report Card

We were overwhelmed with all the possible roads ahead, having no idea which way to turn or which way to go. Dr. Ferreira laid out a clear path for us to get out of the horror of the brain tumor in our 5 year old. Everything he said he could do, he did. Everything he said would happen, did. Dr. Ferreira no doubt saved our daughter’s life.

I had a tumor growing out of the nerve sheathings in my brain on the 9, 10, and 11 cranial nerves. My experience with Dr. Ferreira was great. He is an incredible doctor and very caring. My situation was scary, but Dr. Ferreira was a calming and confident presence throughout. The surgery was 8 hours long and I have since healed and recovered really well with almost little to zero impacts.

Dr Ferreira is an amazing Doctor and person. 8 years ago he removed my tumor. I have not ever had any serious complications. Many people I've known have not been so lucky.

Exceptional physician, educator and a true life saver and hero to me and my family. My husband was referred to Dr. Ferreira Neurosurgeon from JBLM because the hospital couldn’t perform the difficult surgery. We were immediately at ease after meeting Dr. Ferreira and his team. Surgery day came and check in was smooth and easy, excellent systems and protocols are in place here. Overall we are so happy and blessed to have met him and everyone who we came in contact with. He saved my husband's eyesight by removing his brain tumor and we are forever grateful. Thank you Dr. Ferreira.

My husband was referred to Dr. Ferreira by JBLM, Madigan Army Hospital because they couldn’t perform the difficult brain surgery. We were immediately at ease after meeting him. He explained what was going on, and told us how he would remove it to restore his vision. Surgery went better than expected and we are very happy with the result. Thank you Dr. Ferreira for taking good care of my Soldier. You are a hero and lifesaver to me and my family.

My husband was referred to Dr. Ferreira because our hospital at JBLM couldn’t perform the difficult brain surgery to remove my husband’s tumor. When I first met him and his team, my mind and spirit was immediately at ease. He is so knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was going and the way that he would approach it. Surgery day came, the process was smooth and easy. The surgery was successful, tumor removed and my hubby is recovering well. He is my hero and a true lifesaver. I also like the fact that he is also an educator and is impacting future surgeons. Thank you of taking care of my old Soldier Dr. Ferreira, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

In all my experiences with specialists and I have had quite a few Dr. Ferreia has been by far the worst. I was referred to him by my primary care doctor for an aneurysm that was found on my CT scan. My sister and I arrived at 11:15 for a 11:45 appointment. We were called back and placed in an exam room at 11:45. By 12:30 ( 45 minutes) no one had come in the room for my appointment except for a nurse to take my vitals. I stepped out to ask a nurse when I would be seen. She stated that a long wait was the norm for seeing Dr. Ferreira and that I was the next patient to be seen. At 1:15 (another 45 minute wait) his resident came in and looked at my images and stated she could not find the radiologist report. She leaft m to supposedly call and get my report faxed over. At 1:40 Dr. Ferreia comes in with his Resident and proceeds to tell me that he couldn't see anything on the images and wanted me to come back the following week for 2 MRIs, but he doesn't think anything is wrong. Mind you, I have had debilitating headaches for months now. He was there only 15 minutes tops. So for almost 2 hours I waited to be seen and made to feel like I was wasting his time. I did have a follow-up with my primary care and she showed me where the aneurysm was on my CT scan. Apparently, being one of the "top" doctors in the area gives you the right to disrespect your patient's time as well as to not make an effort to look over their referral, and any other information or comments from doctors who aren't as prestigious.

Thank you for saving my vision.

Dr. Ferreira operated on my brain tumor the size of a lemon, he explained everything to me and was so kind though it was very scary he did a great job and helped me through a life threatening experience. Was great with the follow ups too

Excellent surgeon with excellent bedside manner. Takes his time to explain and answer any questions about patient had.
