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 met Dr Fairfax when I tried to pass my first kidney stone. I had surgery to remove, and had such a great experience with her I became very loyal. She listens, gives advice & insight, has a fun personality and has removed multiple stones from me over the years. My husband is now her patient, and I refer her to all my friends. Hope she never moves or retires!

Dr. Fairfax is an excellent physician and answers all of my questions completely. I have a lot of questions and I am a very particular person. Dr. Fairfax addresses all the concerns that I have and that is the most important thing to me. She is also, a very very competent person.

It’s been five days since my surgery and, although I can’t say I’m feeling great, I’m feeling positive and optimistic. Mostly due to Dr. Fairfax’s excellent service and her confidence in our ability to treat and beat this disease. I’d like to thank Dr. Fairfax and her staff along with everyone over at St. Luke’s for guiding me through this. It’s never easy feeling helpless but it’s a lot more comforting when your treated like a person and not just a patient.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Fairfax?
This doctor almost killed me. I was having very frequent UTI's and pain. I also had an MRI that showed that my Bladder wall was thickened with a note from the radiologist saying that he suggested further testing. She refused and scolded me for not using topical estrogen. I asked her to follow up with the results from MRI but she refused. My family doc sent me to a new Urologist and he found a 3cm tumor. If I had listened to her- it would have become cancerous. BEWARE- she has a huge ego.

Dr. Fairfax is an outstanding Urologist. I had previously seen a male urologist for an incontinence problem. He only prescribed meds. Effective treatment was delayed over six months. Dr. Fairfax conducted very thorough reviews and exams. Besides the normal pelvic exam, she referred me for Physical therapy as well as bladder testing. I was also given a comprehensive list of recommended vitamins, fiber, and softeners to use. I wish that I'd seen Dr. Fairfax first.

Good luck trying to see Dr. Fairfax. It took me months to get an appointment only to have her bail while I am in the waiting room. With her bailing, do you think I could get another appointment right away. No way, I ended up having to wait months once again. I come into her office today, and guess what, after I am there I find out she bailed again. This is the person I am trying to see because I have a kidney stone that is too large to pass.
