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.

Top-notch service!
Dr. Farmer always listens intently and knows me so well! Not only is he interested about my health, he always asks about my family/work life! His staff is super sweet and so caring. I feel very comfortable there!

Did not feel he listened to my concerns. Took almost 6 months for him to properly diagnose a health issue only after making repeated visits with same symptoms. His attitude towards my concerns seemed as though I wasn't being taken seriously.

He is a kind, considerate doctor who remembers my problems & seems to really think about his response. He sends me to a specialist if he feels my problem is out of his field but he knows enough to do this . If his office doesn't have the medical machinery that he thinks is called for, he will send me to a place that does. He has a dry wit and may be a bit overwhelmed telling older people what to do but age & experience will take care of that. I gain more respect for him each visit.

Dr. Farmer is by far one of my favorite doctors I've ever seen. I trust all his decisions and he is incredibly thorough with his explanations. I never feel like I'm being rushed out of the room, either. He always shows concern about other medical issues from other doctors I see, too. He also understands what solutions are most cost effective. If I could give him more than five stars, I would.
