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. Fardo is excellent at helping patients with their pain relief or problems!

I had Dr. Fardo as my PCP for ten years starting at the age of 18. Recently, I was unable to meet her requirement of two yearly visits due to contracting Covid twice and being advised to not come into the office, and a family member of mine becoming sick and needing my care. Because of this she dismissed me from her practice and refused to let me come back. Never had such a disheartening and terrible experience with a healthcare professional.

RUSHED
My yearly appointment was rushed and no a single concern was discussed. She told me to ask my specialists about things that she should have addressed.

All indications are she's only there for the money - process as many people through as possible; offer as little value as possible. She has no idea what she is doing - did not pay attention to the medications I was on - and prescribed a med that was not good for me. The office is a three-ring circus. No one has a clue what they are doing.

Beware- I had two major issues with this practice. I fired Dr. Fardo for a lack of accuracy & lack of compassion. She called me with zero compassion while referring me to a breast surgeon. I later found out my breast biopsy results were in fact benign. 3 months later when Cigna said that the MRI request needed to be re-submitted with more information during a very painful back issue. Barb told me “No, we won’t re-submit the request, you're not our only patient.” Rude & uncaring beyond belief.

One of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have ever had. She doesn't always tell me what I want to hear but tells me what I need to hear. She truly has a big heart and wants only what is best for me and my family. She is also very thorough and smart. She will always be our family doctor.

I went to this office on a recommendation and am happy with the recommendation! Dr. Fardo is conscientious and will ask DIRECT and PROBING questions when needed to get to the issue. When I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a few years ago after she pushed testing and a visit to an ENT, she took the time to call me directly, spent the time on the phone to answer all my questions, and shared a personal story. She may come across as curt and direct, but I have found her to be a sound PCP!

My communication with Dr. Fardo has shown her to be fairly heartless and self-righteous. I was considering her as a PCP, but now after a little communication with her (asking questions), I know that would be a mistake. It would seem that people who are in medicine should have at least some sense of compassion for others, even if at some level they need to keep a professional distance. Unkind and uncaring would be key descriptors for this physician. I can see why her star rating is what it is.

I was admitted to Cranberry Passavant thru the ER to rule out lung blood clots and heart issues. Dr. Fardo came into the room, and very abruptly said she didn't know why I was there and as soon as the Echo was done she discharging me. Several hours later after the echo report was read, it showed I was in mild congestive heart failure. Do your patients a favor, Dr. Fardo, get all of the facts before judging why a pt is in the hospital. The ER doc was right on point, you, however, were not.

I've been with this practice for almost 15 years. Whenever I would see Dr. Fardo she was not engaging. She always seems to be in a hurry and I have been misdiagnosed by her twice. Once for mono and another time she said I had a toenail fungus and she put me on Lamisil. I took that drug for over a year and had to be tested periodically to see if the med was affecting my liver. I happened to see Brittany and she looked at my toe more closely and said I didn't have fungus it was just brittle.

She is my PCP and my insurance says I MUST only go to her practice. I had Pink Eye that came on quickly on Saturday. I called on call line. Dr. Fardo called me back and told me she was refusing to call me in RX because I see OTHER DOCTORS and sent me to ER. She is rude and uncaring and you can see that it reflected in her rude and unhappy staff when you visit her office. I almost lost my job at one point because she REFUSED to fill out paperwork for my short term disability company.
