We brought our son to the ER with worsening confusion. Dr. Farber was able to determine in a very short time that it was a medication causing his decline, and then start a specific treatment program that began to steadily improve his confusion as the toxins cleared from his body. We thought we were losing him and Dr. Farber's incredible medical care put him on the right path to bring him back to us. We are forever grateful. Thank you.

I came to the Princeton ER with fevers and chills and feeling generally terrible. Dr. Farber could tell I was having a terrible day and was extra patient with me. He was able to determine that I had a kidney infection and after a few hours of treatment with fluids through the IV line and fever medications and antibiotics, I was feeling so much better. Thank you all at the Princceton ER for taking such great care of me when I was sick!!!

I was misdiagnosed for a stomach infection even though there were clear signs - both the location of pain and a high WBC count - that I had an appendicitis. He did a cursory job investigating my problem: he ruled out the gallbladder and the kidney, then concluded that it was the stomach. He advised me to consult a gastroenterologist and subsequently discharged me from the hospital. I was re-admitted back to the ER two days later and was lucky that my appendix didn't burst.

Came to UMCP at Plainsboro 8-15-17 with my son who was experiencing severe abdominal pain. Dr. Farber took a comprehensive history, did a thorough physical, and presented the possibilities and options for treatment clearly and patiently. I would rate him top notch.

I had the misfortune of having dr Farber on three diff occasions with three diff fam members. He was unprofessional, rude, had no clue what was wrong with any of us and didn't care either. Now if I hear of anyone going to that ER, I tell them to ask that he is not involved in their care as I do. I would give no stars if that were an option

Dr. Farber was terrible. As was the ER nurse. I came in to the ER disoriented and vomiting. I was left in the waiting room throwing up into a cup for 15 minutes.
"Dr" Farber told me my symptoms were from 2 glasses of wine while being dehydrated. I had no idea where I was and the ER nurse told me I was fine and turned off the light and said take a nap.
I was discharged by Dr. farber even after telling him I didn't know where I was.
Turns out I had Lyme disease but he ran no tests

He doesn't know medicine or how to take care of a patient. The experience in Princeton er was frightful because of him. He is text book and doesn't want to hear anything. Was there for 10 hours and he came in 2 times. The first was to get the story and the next to discharge without any suggestions of how to stop symptoms. If you care about any loved one please stay away from Princeton ER while this doctor is there. He is truly the most uneducated and uncaring doctor I have ever met.

Zero star rating. He lacks any amount of compassion, knowledge, and ability to listen to the patient. Immediately he was patronizing to my sister as she was suffering from a relapse of parasite with constant vomitting, nausea, and diarrhea, reprimanding her for coming to the ER. He refused to admit into a room and suggested we get a second opinion. He vindictively took his time to call in the hospitalist, knowing we would be waiting another 5 hours as my sister got worse and worse.
