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.

Professional, complete, friendly and positive.

Wonderful Doctor
I have had Ear nose and through problems all my life. I’m 55 years old. In all my years I’ve never experienced a more knowledgeable, humane, down to earth, caring and personable doctor. I wish all my doctors were like him. The new generation of doctors are not like Dr. Farrell. He makes you feel like a person not a number. For those people who left bad reviews you were complaining about the office, scheduling etc.. not fair to put that on the doctor. When I go to a doctors office I expect to wait. When I’m in his office I feel like his only patient and let me tell you that’s well worth the wait. Part of being a good doctor is treating the entire person not just their symptoms. Hands down best ENT in Florida.

He is EXCELLENT, kind, knowledgeable and effective
I have seen Dr. Farrell for several years and drive at least 45 min from Boca to see him. He LISTENS, takes his time, is honest, doesn't 'spin,' things and sticks with me until we get me over my issues. I have been around, been lucky enough to be exposed to premier professionals... and he is the only one I go to for ENT. His girl Brook is super nice ( not sure she is still there ) but I liked the front desk very much as well.

Worst experience at an appointment in my 42 years
I was just trying to get my hearing checked and front desk told me that Dr. Farrell could not see patients with an injury that could have been caused from work. Then, why did they make my appointment in first place was my question because all the information was given over phone. But the Office Manager cut me off, she shamed, disrespected and interrupted me rudely. Never in my life have I experienced such a negative, inappropriate experience waiting in doctor’s waiting room! Not to mention being there one hour without ever seeing doctor. Dr. Farrell should look at the way his staff treat people.

Office cancellation of confirmed appointments
Two appointments cancelled by office due to doctor's illness with little or no notification. Office staff very defensive and unapologetic when I complained. Sorry doctor is ill, but patients need to know this so they do not arrive needlessly to office.

My 1st visit was today with Dr.Farrell. He was highly recommended and I see why. He is a very nice man and professional. He takes his time and makes you feel right at home. Do not let the age fool you. He is right on point. And the office staff is very nice.

Highly unprofessional, incompetent and disrespectful front office staff. Was referred by my primary and called to make the appointment. Staff inquired about what insurance I had and was given the requested information. Upon arrival for the much anticipated appointment was told the doctor no longer accepted the insurance. Totally unacceptable, yet all that was offered was the always lame, "I'm sorry". Look for another ENT office, there is no shortage.

In desperate need of an immediate appointment for my son and after calling 3 offices, I called Dr. Farrell's. Not only were they able to see us the same morning, but they couldn't have treated us any better from the front office to the doctor himself. He was direct, no-nonsense and gave my son a treatment that worked like a charm. I'm very grateful to have run into Dr. Farrell that morning!

Front desk is courteous and fast, short wait for my first appointment. Dr. Farrell is kind, gentle, humorous and has a wonderful bedside manner. I was having issues with wax in my ears. He looked and asked if he could clean them out. Of course! That was why I came, but I thought it was very sweet of him to "ask" instead of just proceed. Anyway, it was quick and painless and he even let me see all the gunk he got out of there. Have already recommended him to others I know. Thank you, Dr. Farrell!

He was very nice but did not help me in any way. I went for ringing in my ears. He looked into my ears and hit some tuning forks and said nothing wrong with my hearing, nothing he could do. A week later I went to a clinic for a different problem. That doctor looked in my left ear which he said was full of wax. I said I just went to an ENT last week. The doctor at the clinic asked me, why didn’t he clean out your ear? Wax build up can cause ringing in you ear. At this point I would discourage anyone from going to him.

Dr Farrell is the best Doctor I had in Florida. I needed a tonsillectomy’s at 27 and did an exceptional surgery. Removing my tonsils has improved my health greatly for the past 32 years. He was very responsive and I trust him completely with all ear, nose and throat problems. Thank you so much Dr. Farrell for caring about your patients.

Dr. Farrell has been treating my family for over 25 years. He helped our kids with many problems when no other doctors could. You saved my life from squamous cancer under my tongue. He is the kindest and most caring dr. I have ever gone to. Even though I moved away to Leesburg Florida. He is the one doctor I will not change. I still see him every 6 months and look forward to visit every time. I asked why he hasn't retired.He said he can't find anything he likes to do more than help people.

Referred to Dr. Farrell by a current patient of his. Experienced ear pain and called to request an appointment. Lackadaisical person answered the phone and was not interested in my urgency. Today is Thursday and the appointment response was "I have nothing until next Wednesday". Here is what I was wishing for: - "I'm sorry but the schedule is full today, I wish I could help. May I suggest visiting an emergency room or urgent care center? I'm happy to call you if I have a cancellation today"
