He makes you feel at ease when talking to you. Very thorough and very nice. You don’t feel rushed. Thank you.

After 4 gastro doctors he finally came up with a plan and treatment that makes sense.

Dr Farmer always makes me feel like I matter to him. He never rushed me or hurried me in anyway. He made sure the plan that was in place was providing appropriate care. Did it need adjustments? Was I improving or stabilizing? Was further testing required at this point in time? He was very thorough in going over everything with me to both our satisfaction.
