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.

Excellent Doctor
I've been a client for 30 years and am seen for Crohn's disease. I hope he never retires. My parents were also his clients. He is easy to talk to and explains everything completely. His PA, Dorothy, is also great.

I found Dr. Farkas after going to another gastroenterologist who was incredibly rude and nasty and full of himself. That particular doctor is associated with Spfld. Med. Associates and his last name begins with a Z. Dr. Farkas is a breath of fresh air, so very pleasant, very nice personality.

I think that Dr. Farkas should be more diligent reading patients upper GI tests instead of jus saying all is okay when it isn't. When a person has a stomach that is under their breasts, everything is not OKAY. Shame on him. Not once but twice.
