Dr. Guy Farber, MD

Dr. Farber is excellent. His encouragement and insights have profoundly helped me, enabling me not only to move forward but to excel. I greatly appreciate Dr. Farber's support.

I cannot rate Dr Farber highly enough. He helped me through the most difficult time of my life a few years ago and he has continued to build me up and support me ever since. You really feel taken care of with him and really get the feeling that he is in your corner & is guiding you in the right direction. I am convinced he is the reason I was able to get my first job in NY and don't know how I would have done it without his advice and support! Initially like some people I was apprehensive about starting medication, and on reflection Dr Farber has never pushy about it and was so patient with me. For that I was so grateful. I would recommend him to everyone!

I am very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Farber. I tend to be too hard on myself. Dr. Farber is a kind, perceptive, non-judgmental doctor. You can let your guard down and be honest about your troubles. He helps me see myself in a more objective and positive light. His skill with therapy and managing my medication, helps me function more effectively.

A true mensch. And the most intuitive, focused, intelligent practitioner I've ever seen. I've had unsuccessful or minimally successful medication management and therapy for many many years. Dr. Farber is a so different from what I've ever experienced. His work is seriously effective. In months I've gone from a depressed, anxious, non-functioning mess to an emotionally steady, happy and more confident wife, mother and worker. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Farber. May God continue to bless him and keep him healthy & well so that he can continue to help heal others.

Dr. Farber takes the time to explain the treatment and medications prescribed. I find him a very kind and caring man who is very concerned with his patients well being.

Dr. Farber is awesome. From the first day that I met Dr. Farber I felt very comfortable talking to him. He is very thorough and compassionate. I look forward to my weekly sessions. He is an excellent listener and always does a weekly check on how I am feeling. His office gives off a soothing vibe which I really appreciate. He is very easy to contact as well. I am so pleased that he was able to accept me as a new patient. I am proud to say that I am being treated by Dr. Farber. I highly recommend Dr. Farber.

I have been seeing Dr. Farber for several months now and he is an excellent psychiatrist. I am a retired nurse and have worked in the field of psychiatry for many years, and shockingly to me, I am now a patient too! However, I have to say that I couldn’t have been referred to a better doctor, as he is the best! Dr. Farber is easy to talk to, he is very knowledgeable, and professional, yet equally personable. I highly recommend him.

I was at my lowest when I first saw Dr Farber. I was hesitant to try antidepressants again, but Dr Farber's kind & patient way quickly instilled my trust. I take my medications as prescribed and am no longer frozen by overwhelming anxiety & depression, & no longer consumed with the self-defeating, negative thoughts that plagued me for many years. I challenge my negative thoughts and think positively. Life is more manageable and I am way more productive. During weekly sessions, Dr. Farber listens with caring and respect, guiding & refocusing me when necessary to extract the important information from my sometimes jumbled or tangential thoughts. He shares practical, relevant, useful knowledge that helps me handle a variety of difficulties and he has been right on target with my medications. I am SO grateful I was led to him. I am enjoying & participating in life again after years of being anxious, depressed, stuck & unproductive. Dr. Guy Farber has truly saved my life.

Dr. Farber is smart and thoughtful, and he listens. I never feel rushed, and always feel that I have his full attention.

It easier from me to judge other physicians since I’m a physician myself. Dr. Farber is as good as they come. He is very knowledgeable not only in his field but all the way around. The best of the best.

I walked into Dr. Faber's office several years ago..I was in the darkest place in my life. He is kind, compassionate, patient and can make you laugh. Today, I am out of the darkness and hopeful. I moved Upstate and even though we do telehealth it's too far now to go see him, if I were still in Queens I would never stop seeing him. It's bittersweet to say goodbye but he has given me the strength and tools I need to go forward. I received wonderful care and highly recommend him.

I have been seeing dr Farber for over 4 years and he is absolutely wonderful. Over the last 20 years I have seen many psychiatrists and Dr Farber is by far one of the most thoroughly and attentive I’ve ever had to pleasure to work with. He takes time to get to know his patients, provides sound advice and addresses all of your concerns. Highly recommend Dr Farber.

Dr. Farber came into my life at the lowest of all lows. I was so anxious and severely depressed, it was effecting me even physically - I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, and couldn’t even bear the thought of going to work, let alone shower. Dr. Farber makes sure to consider all aspects of life and really takes the time to get to know you as a person. At first, I was concerned that each session didn’t have to do with the next and that I was just one in a million of people running through his “factory,” however, this could not be further from the truth. His specialty in psychiatry, both with psychotherapy as well as medications, is a blessing and he really has a gift of balancing the two. I can’t even say that I “would” recommend him to anyone who needs a helping hand because I already have! If you are struggling or even questioning whether you might be struggling, reach out to him. You will not regret it!

Dr. Farber enables me to see things from a different perspective. I will state the problem or issue. He will then say "what do you think" or what might you say" These open ended question initiate the dialogue that gets me "unstuck" in seeing / solving the issue. He has been very helpful in helping me get to the other side in solving many issues. In addition, not only does he do therapy but prescribes . I highly recommend Dr. Farber.

Dr. Farber has helped me deal with my OCD and depression. His psychotherapy is a perfect complement to the medicine he prescribes. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Farber is great. It’s not often you get an MD who actually does more than just prescribe meds once a month or more… He’s a therapist that listens and makes you think.

This was my first experience visiting a psychiatrist so I definitely was very nervous of how it would go or if it would even help me. But Dr. Farber has been very reassuring and very supportive every session and has really helped me a tremendous amount not only with improving my mental health but with my quality of life!

Dr. Farber is the best. He's caring and very knowledgeable. He is also not one of those psychiatrists that just prescribe you a bunch of medications (run away from those). Dr. Farber listens to you and will come up with the appropriate plan for your own specific well-being. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Farber is a wonderful physician that is very thorough and is concerned with overall health and how it affects psychiatric treatment. He is patient and kind and avails himself to his patients readily. He is easy to reach and responsive. A fantastic physician.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Farber once a week for about one year. I had a recurrence of depression that I was treated for by someone else many years prior. For me the fact that Dr. Farber is both a psychiatrist and psychologist provides me with better overall care. It’s my understanding this is not common. I have seen many improvements this past year. Dr. Farber has been instrumental in getting me to focus on issues that impact my quality of life as opposed to letting me ramble on about things I don’t have control over. I’m able to talk openly about my lifestyle choices which are non-traditional. I’m very grateful for Dr. Farber because without his expertise I would have slipped into my past behaviors of chronic depression where simple everyday activities were not possible for me. I also had uncontrollable anger, anxiety and stress. Dr. Farber didn’t immediately put me on meds but took the time to evaluate me.
