My family & I, along with several friends, have been patients of Dr. Feril's for many years. He is thoughtful and thorough, patient and very good with children. My youngest was 2 when we moved to town and signed on with Dr. Feril. I don't remember how old she was at her first visit but I remember a blankie and much wiggling was involved. Dr. Feril was patient and worked with up through the process. She is 9 now and has no problems at all returning for her checkups. I would highly recommend him.
