1 Patient Review for
Dr. Ferguson

"Simply put, my experience with Dr. Ferguson could not have been better. I had a replacement of the thoracic aorta including the arch in addition to my valve replacement.

It has only been 5 months and I have been walking since the second day post-discharge and am now consistently up to between 3.5 and 5 miles per day. I have not had any complications and have had nothing but surprise and congratulations from all walks of people (those who are completely naive to such procedures to those who have had them themselves) on how well I am doing.

Dr. Ferguson and his entire team were nothing but professional, thorough, skilled, and caring. No question went unanswered, no confusion not cleared up, no concern left unalleviated. As for Dr. Ferguson’s manner, approachability, patience and level of caring?

Unbeatable.

If you are looking for a CT surgeon, I recommend Dr. Robert Ferguson at WakeMed Heart and Vascular without hesitation!"
