About
Philosophy of care
I strive to provide you with high-quality, compassionate and individualized patient-centered orthopedic care in a timely and efficient manner. Conditions that I am best suited to handle are arthritic conditions of the hip or knee as well as the complications of previous surgeries of these joints. I will not turn a patient away who is having pain because of a previous procedure.
Why I entered medicine
I entered the field of medicine because it allowed me to combine a love of science and a desire to fix things in a way that would allow me to help others. I find no greater satisfaction than helping a patient return to activities that they were unable to do because of pain.
Community involvement
I am a MET NY rugby referee.
Personal interests
I love sports, especially rugby, golf, cycling and watching the New York Giants.

Dr. Ferrante's Care Team
What is a Care Team?
Your care team is a group of caregivers in a medical practice, including your physician and advanced practice clinicians (APCs) such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners and specialized registered nurses. They work together, collaborate to address your unique needs and ensure you always get the best care at the right time. APCs receive advanced training and routinely work alongside your physician.
How we care for you
Our care team is a great combination of dedicated caregivers who are sensitive to your needs, are very skilled in taking care of you before, during and after surgery, and make you feel comfortable and happy with your progress. Working together and constantly collaborating, we provide tailored care where nothing falls through the cracks. There are countless examples when our team has made a huge difference in a patient’s life. Our knowledge, compassion and experience can do that for you, too.
