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.

Dr. Farooqi is a phenomenal listener, advocate and medical professional. She has continuously gone above and beyond for me as a patient. I cannot recommend her to new patients enough. She is kind, intelligent, and her bedside manner is incredible.

She seems to have her own agenda as to how to treat you, and any conditions. She believes that medications is the true path over exercise or changing eating habits . It's very frustrating and it's also difficult to find a good doctor during Covid!!

Do not recommend. I am well aware that I have gained a lot of weight since quarantining. I went to Dr. Farooqi for my normal yearly physical. She recommended I go on a specific antidepressant that would help me "lose weight". I was offended and shocked that a doctor would recommend such an unhealthy way to lose weight. Luckily I am in a pretty good mental state, but this could easily encourage someone with an eating disorder that their is something wrong with their body. I'm finding a new doctor.

I have been going to Dr. Farooqi for years. She has an incredible bedside manner and takes the time to talk with you. She's honest and let's you take part in your care actively. I've always appreciated her guidance.

Ruby Farooqi should only be allowed to work in a lab. She should not see patients. I brought my elderly mother to Farooqi. Farooqi read aloud all the health conditions my mom has, to my mom, who has dementia. She did this 3 times. Farooqi used hand gestures to animate how MANY conditions my mom has. My mom was embarrassed and I was angry. My mom needed a new primary care physician, so the search continues.

Do not recommend! Came in with sudden joint/muscle pain as well as a grinding noise/feeling in my left knee, all she did was tell me I'm anxious and gave me anti anxiety medication which I didn't even take. Did not like to listen to issues or even try to help.
