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.

Exceptional Care
The care that Dr. Farooq and his staff provide is excellent. He is extremely compassionate and listens to our desires and concerns. Dr. Farooq is softspoken but very knowledgeable. His level of diagnosis and care rivals and exceeds what we received at the Mayo Clinic.

I am beyond disgusted of what I have heard from this Dr. My sister has been battling cancer since January of 2016 and has fallen through the cracks multiple times. The last straw was him saying to her,he's surprised she's still fighting most people would of given up by now. What kind of Dr. Says that to his patient??! Then proceeded to say if this stem cell dosent work she's pretty much out of options...I could go on and on but this just gets me so emotional and fired up.

Dr. Farooq I stills confidence in his patients by prescribing the best possible regimen for each individual patient and by the interest he shows in each patient. He addresses every concern with a thoughtful and reassuring answer.
