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.

Dr. Farooq is an excellent Gastroenterologist, the best. He incorporates all aspects of your health when you’re in his care. He’s tolerant, patient, compassionate and kind. From a Registered Nurse, I highly recommend him, his assistant, Carlotta and his Nurse Practitioner. Great team!

I was scheduled at 10 AM on Friday for a screening colonoscopy. The procedure was completed and I was departing at noon. The visit went quite well. I just received a phone call from him personally four days later with results. This absolutely exceeds my expectations.

On 5-15-18 I received a fecal transplant via endoscopy. I’ve suffered with C Diff for well over a year. Dr. Farooq was very nice & made sure I understood everything. I went into remission very quickly after my FMT! Dr. Farooq will always be my Gastro doc! He truly cares. He listens and answers my questions. He never rushes me. He is truly one in a million! Thank you Dr. Farooq and your amazing staff!
