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.

Sincere, knowledgable
Honest, straight forward, yet caring as well.

Dr Scott Farnham
I've been seeing Dr Farnham since my Prostate Cancer diagnosis in 2022. He always makes sure he explains everything so I can understand what's going on. I would recommend Dr Farnham.

Wouldn’t think of going to any other urologist.
My numbers were alarming, and that sucks. We both thought the cancer threat was over. This decease is evil. Scott and I have a plan of action set up. We’ll see.

Saved My Life
Dr Farnham is an excellent physician. On two occasions I credit him for saving my life. He did robotic prostate cancer surgery in 2010 . More recently he diagnosed a serious infection I had that was previously misdiagnosed that could have led to sepsis .

Sent College Kid away after 10 min. late
My son waited six weeks for this appointment after getting a referral from urgent care. He drove an hour from his college campus to get to this appointment. Due to a taking a wrong turn, he arrived ten minutes late and was told he couldn't be seen. Very disappointed.

I had an excellent experience several years back with Dr. Farnham. I was a patient in the ER multiple times at St Vincent on 86 street and he came in and diagnosed immediately the kidney stones I had. He was very knowledgeable and removed the kidney stones by surgery and I had good follow up. I am a nurse and I highly recommend Dr. Farnham. Do not know what the confusion was for the patient that said he’s not a good doctor for women I totally disagree .

He was great. Right to the point gave an understandable explanation of what I needed to do and how soon. Gave an opportunity if I wanted to get a second opinion. Mannerisms were very good and easily explained my situation (cancerous kidney) in terms I could understand.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Farnham?
Dr Farnham was easy to talk to. I was impressed with how quickly he solved the problem I had. Contacting his office and actually talking with someone? is a different story. For my follow up visit, I was charged 2 co-pays for 1 visit and never seen a Dr. Summary: Great doctor but business management leaves a little to be desired..
