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.
First experience meeting the doctor through Dr. Mary Lupo. He was very kind, very knowledgeable and diagnosed the issue immediately. Great experience. Highly recommend

I was seen promptly upon arrival and physician and staff were very caring & professional. I was seen early in the day for a biopsy and was asked to call back before days end to report how I was doing. All questions were answered at my appointment & had a very positive experience. I would highly recommend Dr Farnsworth to everyone.

Dr. Farnsworth was extremely patient and attentive. He knew right away what had inflamed my 90 year old uncle's skin and took the time to wrap it for the best and quickest results. Thanks Dr. Farnsworth for caring.

He takes care of communicating with the patient and be understood. The two times I have visited him I felt taken care of by a doctor who cares for the patient. I felt a personal touch not common with other doctors.
