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.

Expert in his field
Dr. Farris is treating my Narrow Angles condition and dry eye syndrome. I trust his opinion to treat me as he sees fit. I feel confident he has my best interests in mind and will continue to be under his care as long as I need to.

I've recently seen Dr. Farris, and can't tell you how pleased I was with the whole experience as a new patient. From the minute you walk in and the minute you leave everyone was kind and welcoming. Dr. Farris was completely on point with everything and made me feel at ease. Staff was very accommodating. Will recommend to my family and friends.

Don’t know what some others are talking about. I have been a patient of Dr Farris for over 10 years. He is a compassionate, well trained physician who always does right for the patient. He has never tried to force a treatment but thoroughly explains all possible options. I trust him totally and respect him and his opinion. No other eye doctor has ever made me feel more comfortable. He has a pleasant and witty personality. Go see him. You will love him too.

Ramona G. in Pleasantville, NY – Aug 18, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Farris?
Dr. Edmund Farris was my ophthalmologist. I asked him what to do to get rid of a collagen cyst in my eye. It sounded strange when he said it was just a fluid cyst and that he could do it. Made an appointment, he cut open the cyst, told me it was collagen and that he could do nothing. Referred me to another Doctor, but not before charging my insurance and cutting into my eye for no reason. My own regular Doctor had told me it was collagen. Needless to say, I'm not going back there. Shame on you

Overall: OK. As a glaucoma specialist: probably very good. As a general ophthalmologist: good. Personality: polite, but brusque; some may even find him rushed. Conducts examination thoroughly. Answers most questions. Would do what is right for you.
