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 Knowledgeable, open and compassionate - a rare combination for a physician these days. Open minded and a good listener and an expert in her field. Office staff is absolutely wonderful! I have been a patient for a number of years and she definitely deserves 5 stars!

Five to six weeks for an initial consult kind of renders her practice a non-option for someone needing an initial consult with a neurologist.

Great doctor! My son is away at school and Dr Farrugia had been very understanding with scheduling appointments and addressing any and all issues in a time frame that works for us. Her staff is super friendly and helpful as well. Great bedside manner. We really could not be more pleased.
