Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude to women
Refused to give me any meaningful care, spoke over me EVERY TIME I SPOKE. Ignores all symptoms I mentioned as 'irrelevant', and ignored clear trends in my blood work suggesting a need for, at minimum, further tests, and moreover a need for treatment due to my past history. He speaks to me as though I can't possibly have a say in my own care and that behavior will end up with bad outcomes. I cannot recommend him to any female patient who wishes to preserve her life while living with a blood disorder or cancer.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Farah. He listened to me and ordered tests to determine what was wrong. He referred me to the appropriate provider to address the issue found. Would highly recommend.

This "physician" guaranteed my family member didn't have cancer & 5 weeks later they were dead from CANCER that was all throughout their body......He either doesn't give a crap or doesn't know what he is doing. Whatever the reason, I wouldn't rely on this joker to diagnose anything.
