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.

I asked for routine bloodwork and to add a check for specific levels since I knew I had a history of being on the low side of normal. He laughed at my concerns, and instead of writing a clean script, made a blurry photocopy of a script he wrote from years ago, and scribbled on illegible words on the corner. Of course the lab was appalled at the lack of professionalism and asked for a decent script. What a waste of time? What was the point of visiting him if he won’t do the bare minimum. He also charged me a copay despite my insurance not requiring one. What a total rip off and unprofessional conduct.

Dr Farmer has a bad habit of not calling patients back when they call.bHis secretary doesn't pass on messages. When you see Dr Farmer, he initially seems nice but then his bedside manner turns to crap. If he doesn't believe what you're saying he tells you that you have 30 days to find a new doc and YELLS at you over the phone while you're trying to ask simple questions Bc of circumstances that are out of your hands. He is by far the worst doctor I've come across, and ice left practices for less
