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.

Disappointed beyond belief.
Out of 3 visits saw this doctor for about 20 min. First visit was okay. Dr. Fairlamb insured me he would do the best he could to take great care of me. Second visit 1.5 hour wait, breezed thru the room and and told me I could take aspirin if I wanted. (Carotid blockage). Third visit he came into the office at 9 am. My appointment was at 9:15. I got there early so my ins. info could be updated. At 10:25 I was still waiting to see him. I am at the stage in my life that I cannot waste MY time driving from Sturgeon to see this doctor. Is he a good Dr. ? Hard to say. He was obviously trying to sell himself on the first visit. Wish I had seen this coming. Buyer beware. I will definitely will be sending this on.

Exceptional
He speaks directly, he is clear, and he cares for his patients. I never feel dismissed or talked down to. He even expressed frustration on my behalf for other doctors missing and misunderstanding aspects of my health situation which had made me feel dismissed, and like they thought I was making something up. It was incredibly validating to feel heard and seen.

He gets right to the point. Cares about other medical conditions besides your heart. Suggest other doctors to care for that area. Totally trust Doc Fairlamb.

My wife's PCP did not help her at all controlling her lipids and blood pressure. We saw Dr. Fairlamb and we couldn't be happier. He took an active interest in treating her. Dr. Fairlamb truly cares for my wife's well being. My wife is a stroke survivor and I believe Dr. Fairlamb has given her a better quality of life. God Bless
