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.

Very kind
Dr. Fahrig is very kind and knowledgeable. Very compassionate.

Excellent Cardiologist
Dr. Fahrig was extremely professional and took the appropriate amount of time to explain the results of my tests. He was so knowledgeable and truly cared about my welfare. Excellent bedside manner and a privilege to visit with him. His nurse, Amelia was also very friendly and made my visit so pleasant.

Outstanding cardiologist
MD Fahrig replaced my leads to my pacemaker that was causing me chest pain for over a year. After surgery my chest pain from the leads that were placed by another doctor was gone. He checked on me several times after surgery to make sure everything was ok. He took the time to listen to me, diagnose what was the cause of my chest pain and what he could do to resolve the problem.
