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.

He took plenty. Of time time to discuss things and never seemed to be in a hurry

Both Dr. Faraji and the surgical resident (whose name I unfortunately cannot remember) provided exceptional care. They were kind, caring, informative, good listeners and made me feel like I was the only patient they had to see that day. There was zero sense of rush or pressure to get my questions out of the way despite what I know was a full schedule of patients. They were both wonderful.

My responses were about both Dr. Faraji and his resident. Also, Dr. Faraji's voice is so soothing and comforting. He does not make me feel like he is shuffling me through the visit and he makes me feel like I am important to him as a patient.

Dr. Faraji is compassionate and truly understanding of my situation. He listens and offers common sense advice and explains next steps thoroughly. In my situation he recommended holding off on meds and possible referral to neuroophthamology until my MRI results are back. I appreciate that because It saves me time why go see someone without the results to help the physician make a practical evidence based medicine decision?
