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.

DANGER-bad X-rays & more
Went to Dr Farakh with a fracture. He bases his x-rays on your fears. If you are afraid of the xray, he will change the position of the area being xrayed. He didnt tell me to come back to remove the cast. He did not review any xrays with me. He’s not a 5star doctor he’s a minus 5. He couldnt find my records when I called sometime later in the week.

I have had 3 different appointments with Dr. Farakh and have always found him to be extremely attentive, kind and knowledgeable. He has been wonderful with diagnosing my problem and making sure we have a plan to deal with it. I trust him completely and would recommend him to anyone looking for an orthopedic surgeon.
