Dr. Russell Farmer, MD

I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Dr Farmer related well to me and explained the situation so I had a grasp of the condition. He did surgery and I came out with a most positive outcome. I felt as if he sincerely cares about my health.

Dr Farmer saved me literally. I had so many issues from cancer and surgery. He listened to me carefully, he was compassionate, full of empathy and kept do tests to figure out what was going on. He is just a very sweet person.

His nurse is rude. I give her my opinion about what is going on with me for her to yell and argue that i was wrong. Scheduled a colonoscopy and then was told it was normal only for the doctor to lie and put false information in my chart when he told me everything looked normal and was good. then gave up on me and wouldnt help me find a resolution for my abnormal bleeding. told me well it hasnt killed you yet so it cant be that big of a problem. i will never go see him or his nurse again.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Farmer and his staff. They all took really good care of me, before and after my surgery. Thank you! The UL nursing staff was also amazing.

Dr. Farmer is the best hands down! He saved my mother’s life after another “surgeon” was carelessly almost the cause of the end of her life. His skills, talent, compassion, bedside manor, & TRUE concern for each patient are beyond compare! He truly found his calling in life. My family & I are so blessed to have found him! His whole team is amazing!

He is awesome. Makes you feel comfortable discussing your problems. Great personality and sense of humor. My operation was supposed to take 4 hours but I had so many complications. Assistant surgeon said that’s all we can do but Dr Farmer said no this is her only chance to be cured of cancer. So he continued for 7 1/2 hours and got it all. He actually saved my life. Love him to pieces. Best doctor ever.

What can I say the man is awesome he gave me back my life

I’ve been disabled since 2009/2010 and I’ve seen a plethora of physicians since then including two visits to Mayo Clinic, and I’ve yet to meet a doctor or surgeon as caring and thorough as Dr. Farmer. His bedside manner is impeccable, and he has a natural ability to make a person feel at ease even when they have every reason not to.

Dr. Farmer is simply the best! He is honest, straight forward, and genuinely cares about his patients. I highly suggest him for all of your colon needs.

Dr. Farmer and his staff helped my son with surgery and another subsequent surgery, with months of extended healing and rehabilitation. He will answer ANY question you have and make sure you're comfortable and knowledgeable. Look no further than Dr. Farmer and his staff to take care of you and your loved ones.

I live 200 miles from Louisville, but chose to have my colon surgery by Dr. Farmer in Dec. 2015. The knowledge he displayed during my office visits allowed me to feel completely comfortable in my decision to have my surgery by him. Since my surgery, I have felt wonderful, with no complications. I think Dr. Farmer is a gifted surgeon, and a generally nice man. Thank you for everything.

Excellent bedside manner. One of the most caring and thorough doctors you'll ever meet. You know when a doctors office staff and hospital nurses has such high regards for a doctor, you have a good one. I'm very fortunate to have one of the best.

Dr Farmer and MA Michelle Helton are two of the most compassionate professionals I've had the pleasure of meeting as a patient .. Both have gone above and beyond their area of speciality to ensure my needs have and will continue to be met , I am a Cancer Patient Dr Farmer is the surgeon whom was going to perform the surgery I needed .. I choose no Surgery just comfort measures , Dr Farmer is a gifted surgeon but more than that He is also a gifted physican whom genuinely cares for his patients ..

I don't have a problem with Dr. Farmer, in fact I think he is a great doctor. My problem is with one of his staff members. I am not sure of her name but she is his assistant or something and she is rude and very sarcastic. I recently had an appointment and never got seen, I waited for almost 2 hours and when I finally decided to leave his staff member was sarcastic and rude with me.
