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.

LEGEND!
Dr. Farber has been our go-to pediatrician for 25 years! He is kind and knowledgeable, but not alarmist--a wonderful combination, especially for a new anxious parent. Sadly, this was our last visit with Dr. Farber as he is retiring in one month. I was hoping he'd stay until our youngest graduated college in 7 years, but he is entitled to a well-deserved retirement. He will be missed by our family and countless others. DR. FARBER, YOU ARE A LEGEND!

Excellent doctor
My daughter has always had a terrible fear of needles and shots. During our most recent visit, during which my daughter was scheduled to receive a flu shot, Dr. Farber took extra time to explain compassionately, but honestly, to my daughter what she could expect. Her anxiety was greatly relieved after this conversation and she did better with her flu shot than ever before. A very good doctor!

Very efficient and flexible.
Dr Farber does a great job in accommodating the needs of his patients. He is also very thorough and up to date. I definitely recommend him. Rosali, his nurse does an excellent job with the data gathering, eye examination, weight and many other things.

Demonstrates consistent care for our son in being persistent in sharing observations and recommending action (e.g., meds for adhd). Took time to thoroughly explain rationale, risks, side effects, what would cause us to stop, etc.
