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.

Simply, The Best
I arrived without an appointment yesterday afternoon (I had an appointment Aug 1) and was going to just talk about my expecations and fill out paperwork as I was already in the area. The staff squeezed me in so I did not have to return. I have used Dr Farrell in the past for my back and this visit was for my neck. He spent so much time reviewing my condition and answering all of my questions and concerns so I felt completely comfortable. Dr Pharrell and staff offered to do injections the very next morning when another doctor said I would have to wait 1-2 weeks after their consultation. It has been 4-5 hours and I feel so much better now. I have not slept more than an hour or two for the last 10 nights and I am hopeful tonight I finally sleep well. I cannot thank everyone there enough and will refer anyone needing a qualified, compassionate and patient doctor who really cares how you feel and wants you to feel better ASAP.

Happy Patient – Jul 27, 2019

Funny how the negative reviews get deleted. I am still upset that I have to pay over $500 in lab fees for drug tests. When they said they needed a urine specimen, I was not told it was for drug tests. And, they certainly did not tell me that most insurance companies will not pay for "drug" test. In addition, he wanted to set up my steroid shots as a surgery which would have cost me $2600 out of pocket when I could get the shots for $200 a piece at Touchstone Imaging mostly covered.

Dr. Farrell was recommended to me by my sister and I am very happy she did. The staff was friendly and professional during each visit and worked with me. Dr. Farrell listened to what I had to say and the experiences I had with other Doctors and explained to me in detail what the issue was. Together we decided on the right option for me and I am looking forward to a pain-free back. Thanks, Dr. Farrell!

Dr. Farrell gave me a spinal shot and it worked great. I have had 5 others and none of them worked by another pain doctor but the one Dr Farrell gave me worked. It is a blessing to be almost pain free. Thank you Dr Farrell. I have had nothing but a good experience with Dr Farrell

Someone should have told he was mainly a pain Doctor, apparently sending you to PT is all he knows. I was in "constant" pain after therapy and told him so many many times, I finally saw a prominent Neurosurgeon in Plano. After a few test he could see disc degenerative damage and pinched nerves. As time passes walking remains more difficult and painful. I am now having surgery to replace a sliding disc and take pressure OFF those nerves. What a huge waste of time and money seeing this DR.
