Dr. Farah Al-Saffar, MD

My life was halted due to advancing heart disease. For many years I struggled with the plan for an LVAD or Heart Transplant . When I was referred to Dr. Al-Saffar and at the first meeting I felt the geniuness of her concern and support of me returning to healthy lifestyle. She acknowledged my struggle with the surgery plan and was patient with me throughout my journey. After I was actively waitlisted on 10/13, I went into heart failure on 10/26. I was hospitalized with a continual admission plan until a heart was available. On 10/30 I received the blessing of a heart. I’m so thankful for having Dr. Al-Saffar’s medical guidance, and continued support provided to me and family! I’m able to be here and enjoy my children and my seven young grandchildren.

Dr. Al-Saffar is my husband's cardiologist. After more than a three-year wait, my husband recently received a heart transplant. There have been many, many serious complications and challenges. Dr. Al-Saffar is not only incredibly smart but is also kind and compassionate. She listens well, answers questions, understands the complex emotional process that patients and families face during the transplant process, and is very patient. There are no words adequate to describe my respect, appreciation, and admiration for Dr. Al-Saffar. She is the very best of the very best in every possible way.

Incredible experience with her and her entire team! They quickly diagnosed a rare disease with my heart that another hospital could not figure out! They run a very well organized operation and I am great-full to have them treating me.
